Byron Stand Up Paddle

We love showing people our little slice of paradise in the Cape Byron Marine Park down the beautiful Brunswick River. Groups are small (max 8 people) to be able to give you personalised instruction & for you to really soak in the peacefulness & beautiful surroundings. You'll feel far away from the hustle & bustle floating along surrounded by nature. We love sharing our local knowledge, having grown up in this beautiful part of the world. We've had this business since December 2014 and love to give all our customers the red carpet treatment (even making home made snacks). We can honestly say, "We love our job!" Our customers regularly say, "It's easier than I expected!" So come unplug & unwind with your friends, family, partner or solo and give stand up paddling a go with us.

My wife and I had a great time at the distillery. I had low expectations for the rainforest tour, but it turned out to be really good and quite informative. Our host Elias did a great job. The gin tasting and information session (on the distillation process) was also really good. Thoroughly recommend this as an activity.

I love Byron so much. It’s getting quite commercial now and the prices are up there, but I definitely love the vibe and how everything is centrally located , so I recommend getting accomodation near by so you don’t really need to touch the car unless you’re driving to surf spots. I would avoid going during schoolies and school holidays to avoid the chaos .
