5.00I wanted an easy way without hiring a car to see the waterfall and this trip offered that and more without the hassle. Communication was good. Toby our guide was positive, enthusiastic and fun. He made an effort to speak to everyone in the group over the course of the day. The trip was done at a great pace. People were free to do more or less at each stop. Manage to spot a good sized spider called Daniel. Overall great group and good fun.
Very good trip, some of...

5.00I’m so glad we stumbled across this experience. Pick up/drop off was easy. The guides were great and had a lot of knowledge about the area. The views are amazing. The 1st hike is steep and rocky, but doable. 2nd stop was super nice and peaceful. 3rd stop was our favorite. There were bathrooms at each stop which was nice since it was very outdoorsy. We got to see wildlife as well as sea life.
Great to do for a backpacker!

5.00A lovely day led by our guide Toby. The locations were beautiful with very enjoyable swims in the waterfall and at the lake. Toby had a good eye for spotting wildlife to help us tick some off our Australian wildlife list!
Gift of a tour! Do it!!!

5.00I absolutely loved this tour. Toby was a fantastic guide and we covered lots of beautiful nature - from waterfalls to tea-tree oil infused lakes! So much fun, perfect balance between chilled and covering lots of epic East Coast gems. Would recommend it to everyone! Thank you Toby and the Behind The Bay team!

5.00Amazing tour, Toby was awesome. The drive from Byron is super easy, and the waterfall is great. Afterward, there’s a lunch stop by the lake where you can go paddle boarding. The stop at the Three Sisters has a picturesque beach. Highly recommend
