This experience takes you into the UNESCO‑listed Gondwana Rainforests of Australia for a mix of gentle adventure and quiet moments in nature. You'll hike through ancient rainforest, pause at a breathtaking lookout for memorable photos, and visit a pristine waterfall where you may be able to swim if conditions allow. Along the way you’ll explore the lush landscape and learn through relaxed conversation and conscious talks.

As evening falls you’ll enjoy an organic vegan dinner before visiting a magical glow‑worm location. There, in low light, you’ll listen to a live instrument while watching the glow‑worm display. The itinerary may change according to park closures, weather conditions and moon position, but all itineraries typically include a pristine waterfall, an epic lookout and a glow‑worm spot. After the experience you’ll head back to Byron feeling refreshed and inspired by the ideas shared and the natural beauty you’ve seen.
