The Hidden Gem of Australia s Coasts — Byron Bay, NSW, Australia | The Travel Intern

Australia is famous for its breathtaking coasts, and we all know the country is littered with beautiful beaches. So this time, we got the chance to visit (we believe) one of Australia s greatest hidden coastal gems — Byron Bay! It also helps that our ultimate bae, Chris Hemsworth, stays here too. ;-) If you re not convinced, check our 13 reasons why Byron Bay should be on EVERY New South Wales itinerary: https://thetravelintern.com/byron-bay-nsw-itinerary/ 00:31 - Brunswick River STAND UP PADDLING! Unlike the open oceans, paddling along Brunswick River was calm, peaceful and it felt like we had the whole area to ourselves~ 00:39 - Cook Island Cook Island is FAMOUS for its snorkelling tours, and we hopped on one of em! We got to see not only turtles in their natural habitat, but also a leopard shark and tonnnnnes of lil fishies in the water :-) 00:53 - Tropical Fruit World Think of it as a fruit theme park — you get to go through tours around the large compound and you ll be blown away by the sheer amount of fruits they grow in there. ****Be sure to try the MIRACLE FRUIT, and the ice-cream they sell at the store :-) 01:11 - Mavis s Kitchen Most of what they serve come from their garden just out the back from their restaurant. Super fresh, super yummy! 01:18 - Catch a Crab Tweed Heads is not too far from the main city of Byron Bay, and their crabbing adventure tours are really famous too! We had such a good time learning how to catch crabs, yabbies and fishes~ THANK YOU CATCH A CRAB!! 01:37 - Cape Byron Lighthouse YOU GET DIBS ON CATCHING THE SUNRISE FIRST IN AUSTRALIA!! Is that not a pull? Hahaha. Here at Australia s most easterly point, you get to catch the sunrise, and if you re feelin a lil indulgent, treat yourself and a friend/partner to the Toast the Sun experience! 01:51 - Air T&G Helicopters It was always a dream to get on a helicopter, even more so an OPEN-DOOR helicopter ride! There are a couple of different packages which include different routes and timings at Air T&G. One package even allows you to PILOT the helicopter — no kidding. 02:08 - Main Beach (GO SEA KAYAKS) We ve gone on and on about the beautiful beaches, so here we are, kayaking through the open ocean in search for sea turtles and dolphins! Hopefully the waters aren t too choppy when you re out there. Some of us had motion sickness while kayaking hahaha. 02:18 - The Farm 02:30 - Three Blue Ducks One thing about Australia and Byron Bay, specifically, is the fact that it is so self-sustaining! Here at The Farm, we got to tour around and learnt more about the local produce sitch in Australia. Super inspiring. Three Blue Ducks is within the compounds of The Farm, but they are always super crowded so do try to go during off-peak hours. 02:34 - Stone & Wood Brewery If you observe, almost every bar or restaurant boasts the logo of Stone & Wood. They are also part of the local produce gang gang in Byron Bay, and they actually serve up some experimental beers that are limited edition on a rotational basis! 02:43 - Crystal Castle Ultimate zen place. Learn about meditation, about crystals and everything about zen here~ 02:55 - Main Beach (LET S GO SURFING) You d better surf at one of Australia s surfing capitals! Try booking the sunrise surf with the beautiful warm orange glow embracing you as you make ~moves~ on the ~waves~. 03:09 - Byron Farmers Market Only open on Thursdays from 8AM to 11AM. We really recommend The Nomadic Kitchen!! They serve up some really interesting dishes, and they also move around the different farmers markets around the area. 03:17 - Husk Distillers OOOOOOOO SIS YOU GOTS TO TRY THEIR INK GIN TONIC! Nuff said. Pretty purple colour, nice for your social media handles too. Hahaha. 03:27 - Zephyr Horses The perfect way to end the day — Zephyr Horses Forest to Beach Sunset Tour. We got to ride through a really mystical forest trail that led us out to the open beach with nobody around except us and the horsies~ 03:38 - Harvest Newrybar Just take a short drive out of Byron Bay and you ll reach Newrybar village. Harvest boasts a restaurant, bakery, deli and garden all in one compound. 03:48 - Zentveld s Coffee The owner of this coffee plantation was self-taught — she learnt about brewing, harvesting and everything coffee-related by herself! We really enjoyed the experience of walking through the plantation, looking at how the brewing and harvesting process is like and getting to taste it. Yeet. Have we convinced you guys to make a trip down yet??!?!?! We hope so! Because we d surely visit again. :-) ---------------------------------------------- Edited by: Sherry Wong - http://instagram.com/sherrified Follow our travel guides around the world on: ► https://thetravelintern.com/ Follow us on our travel adventures on social media: ► @TheTravelIntern http://facebook.com/thetravelintern http://instagram.com/thetravelintern Business enquiries: weare@thetravelintern.com
