Vision Walks - Eco Tours

Hippie Trail Tour

Follow our expert local guides on the hippy trail, through the Byron hinterland: Markets, Nimbin, Waterfalls

Minyon Falls Walks

The Minyon valley with its ancient rainforest vegetation gives it all a very ‘Jurassic Park’ feel. Minyon Falls are awesome as they rise over 100m out of the rainforest, towards the sky. Join us on the short (4km) or long (8km) guided walk with environmental scientist to explore this amazing spectacle.

Bush Tucker Walk

Join Delta Kay a local Arakwal woman, on a two-hour walk of discovery. As you walk Delta will teach you how to identify what’s good to eat and what’s not.

Finding bush tucker takes special knowledge that developed from living close to nature. Delta has lived on country all of her life, she is proud Arakwal custodian and is committed to working in genuine partnership with our local community to promote an awareness, understanding and mutual respect between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people.

Platypus Walk

It is possible to see platypus at any time of the day, but our best chance is just after dawn.

We pick you up from your Byron Bay accommodation and drive to the special platypus area. From there we start our 90-minute easy walk along the creek looking for platypus.

Your guide will lead you at a gentle pace, showing you what to look for and sharing insights about this much-loved and quirky Australian animal.

We usually see one or two platypus, loads of birds and sometimes even koalas. After watching the platypus have their breakfast we relax with ours – a picnic by the creek – before returning to Byron Bay.

We can’t guarantee platypus sightings on this tour, but don’t worry. If we don’t see them we take you on another day, free.

Nightcap Historic Track Walk

The Nightcap Historic Track is a 19km hike between Mount Nardi (near Nimbin) and Rummery Park (near Minyon Falls). It is a remarkable walk with multiple ecosystems, massive trees, wildlife and breath-taking views of the Wollumbin (Mount Warning) caldera. It has rich history both for the local Widjabul people and white settlers.

Koala Tour

See koalas in the wild. We take you where they live and go in search of these super cute aussie icons.

You will spend about an hour exploring koala habitat and spotting koalas. Afterwards we will treat you to morning tea of local tea or coffee and delicious Byron Bay cookies.

We guarantee that you will see koalas. How many you see varies. Sometimes the ones you do see are asleep high up in the trees – that’s koalas for you! We estimate that you will see between two and 10.

Koalas are in danger of extinction. As an eco-tour company we hold to a high standard of care and responsibility. This means we do what we can to protect and preserve them. We vary the locations for our koala tours to minimise our impact.

We also go a step further. For each person on the tour, Vision Walks makes a donation to Friends of the Koala. This is a local group that takes care of sick and injured koalas.
