Out On the Water
Getting out on the water gives you the opportunity to see all your fave marine wildlife such as turtles, rays and dolphins in Cape Byron Marine Park. During whale-watching season you can watch the whales pass from along coastal look-outs or get up close with one of the local Kayak tours for an experience you will treasure forever.
If the crystal-clear water is calling you, how about heading to Julian Rocks Marine Reserve with Sea Turtle Snorkel Tours to snorkel with these beautiful creatures?
Another option on the water is to catch some of those world famous breaks. If you are new to the sport join up to one of the great surf schools such as Soul Surf School and get a huge rush when you ride your first wave.
