Welcome to your Byron Bay bike adventure! Your Trek Travel guides will meet you at the Gold Coast Airport at 11:00 AM. From there, a private one-hour shuttle will transport you into the hinterland, to one of the region's most iconic locations. Upon arriving at the beautiful market garden of Harvest Newrybar, a light lunch awaits. You'll then be fitted to your Trek bike to ensure a comfortable ride throughout the week. After receiving some safety tips and a route overview, you'll roll out on your first ride, exploring the heart of Byron Bay's hinterland. Known for its rolling lush hills, Macadamia nut farms, rainforests, and occasional waterfalls, all connected by scenic backroads, this area is a cycling paradise. Test your legs on a few short climbs and savor spectacular views that stretch all the way to the coast as we make our way to your hotel for the week, Crystalbrook Byron. Tonight, we'll come together for a group social hour followed by dinner at our hotel's renowned restaurant, Forest.

Featured meal:
Forest
Engage in a sensory culinary journey amid nature's serene beauty at Forest. Nestled in a lush tropical rainforest, the restaurant offers a unique dining experience with over 80% of its ingredients sourced within a three-hour drive, emphasizing local flavors.

You'll venture into macadamia farmland with idyllic rows of the native nut tree stretching in all directions. Macadamia nuts, now grown worldwide, were originally used by the First Nations people of Australia for cosmetics and medicine. We'll enjoy lunch in Lennox Head at Shelter, an exceptional and modern beachfront restaurant with the world-famous surf breaks as your backdrop.

Arriving

We suggest that you arrive at least one day prior to the trip start, which will enable you to adjust to the time zone and minimize the risk of missing the trip start due to flight-related delays.

For travelers coming from outside of Australia, we suggest arriving at Brisbane International Airport (BNE) located in Brisbane, which is serviced by 31 airlines offering flights to 50 domestic and 29 international destinations.

Taxis are available 24/7 from sheltered ranks right outside the Domestic and International Terminals. The journey to Gold Coast Airport typically takes approximately one hour and is estimated to cost around 200 AUD. The airport is also served by all major car rental agencies.

You can hire an Uber from Level 2, take the lift or escalator down to Level 1, follow the Rideshare Booking signs towards the open-air car park on the left as you exit the Terminal building. You can use Uber’s fare estimator or your Rideshare app to work out the cost of your trip.

If you are heading into the center of Brisbane, train services run every 15 minutes during peak times and every 30 minutes off-peak periods. Brisbane Airtrain also connects into the Queensland Rail suburban network. Book your ticket on the Airtrain website (www.airtrain.com.au/booking-form/) and get your return journey free.

Alternatively, if you are traveling from within Australia or New Zealand, you have the option to fly into Gold Coast International Airport (OOL), which offers connections to 18 domestic and 12 international destinations.

You will meet your guides at the Gold Coast Airport information desk at 11:00 AM. Should you be staying in the city center, a 30-minute taxi ride to the airport costs approximately 80 AUD.

Your Trek Travel guides will meet you at the Gold Coast Airport information desk at 11:00 AM on the first day of the trip. After a one-hour shuttle, you will arrive at Harvest Newrybar, where a delicious lunch awaits. Your guides will then ensure a comfortable fit to your bicycle and explain how the trip will unfold. Once everyone’s bike is ready, you’ll be off to explore the quiet roads surrounding Byron Bay! Please have your riding gear in a separate bag or readily accessible, to avoid having to unpack your luggage.

If you will be late for the pick-up or are going to miss it altogether, please inform your guides. You will receive an email a week before the trip starts with their names and contact details. If you cannot reach them, please call our first hotel, the Crystalbrook Byron (+612 6639 2000), and leave a message with your expected arrival time and contact details.
