Behind the Bay runs small-group day tours from Byron Bay into the Northern Rivers, showing visitors the hidden gems most people miss. Every tour includes a swim under Killen Falls, a rainforest waterfall with a cave behind the falling water.

Guests paddleboard on Lake Ainsworth at Lennox Head, a freshwater lake stained red by the surrounding tea trees and known for being soft on skin and hair. The day also takes in the headland views at Lennox Head and the quiet beaches and bush walks of Broken Head Nature Reserve, where dolphins and wallabies are regularly spotted.

Local guides share stories of the area along the way, and the order of stops changes with the weather and tides. Pick-up and drop-off from Byron Bay accommodation are included, along with paddleboards and sunscreen.

The tours suit solo travellers, couples and friends looking for a social day out without needing a car. Behind the Bay also runs private tours and transfers for groups of up to 40, including birthdays, hens and bucks parties and team days.
