Take a step back in time with us to when dinosaurs roamed the earth. The ancient rainforest in the Minyon Valley has a distinct ‘Jurassic Park’ feel.
100 metres below, from the forest floor, the striking Minyon Falls appears to fall from the sky, and all of this is on the doorstep of Byron Bay.
Vision Walks offers you the opportunity to share the magic of this place with an environmental scientist as your guide and companion. Join
us on a short or long guided walk to explore this breathtaking spectacle.
On the way, keep watch for the mystical Lyrebird or a Pademelon – one of our smallest macropods. Listen for the distinctive call of the Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoo. Catch a glimpse of Frogs, Skinks, Crayfish, tiny Birds and Lace Monitors, these are just some of the wildlife you might see. The secrets of the forest open up when you know what to look for.
Explore this amazing ecosystem, see Wildlife and learn about the Rainforest.
Experience the wonder of Minyon Falls rising 100 metres above the valley floor in the World Heritage Listed, Nightcap National Park.
Enjoy a swim at the waterfall and lunch on us to round out this unforgettable experience.

We were in Byron Bay and wanted to see some wildlife. We'd seen Kangaroos, Wombats and Koalas before, so we did the night vision walk.
The guide took us to a patch of remaining "virgin rain forest) and we saw pademelons (really cool) and walabies, a huge Capet Python hunting the Bush Rats (which are not really rats but marsupials. We saw lots of this Bush Rats as well (and they are pretty cute). Finally, we had a magnificent sighting of something on my bucketlst--a gorgeous Tawny Frogmouth. What an incredible bird.
I would strongly recommend this company and their tours. First rate
Strongly recommend for those that are looking for special encounters with Australia's unique wildlife.
Great suggestions regarding where to leave our car in Mullum.
We decided to make a change to our itinerary on the last day. I phoned Wendy & it was all sorted immediately & her communication was excellent.
Emma, our shuttle driver both ways was very personable & professional.
Thank you for making it all so easy! Will definitely recommend them.
The service could be improved by allowing extra time for the Minyon Grass section of the walk. This last section was incredible but we didn’t have enough time to fully enjoy the experience because of the pick up time.
I highly recommend the great customer service.
Mullumbimby was a great spot to leave the car as travel distance was short and its a fun town to have breakfast before and lunch after.
All these conveniences made for a smooth and fun walking adventure. Thank you!
The service was prompt and friendly, and the advice helpful.
My only criticism is that there was only just enough time for us to do the extra 6 km to the base of Minyon Falls - arguably one of the most spectacular and worthwhile portions of the hike. It would have been nice to have another half an hour to an hour to finish this section of the walk at a more leisurely pace, especially after four days on the trail.
All in all though, I definitely recommend using Vision Walks if you'd like to walk the Gijuum Gulganyi trail but you're not from the area / don't have a car.

Amazing scenery and comfortable glamping style accommodation each night.
A massive thank you to our guide Tom, whose friendly nature and obvious love of his job made the trek all the more special.
Worth every penny (cent) and a great way to spend a morning.
It was a great day and Tom was a great guide, we definately recommend.
The icing on the cake: she has invested in tree planting so that the carbon footprint of her business is a net positive to the world! And the trees help provide koalas with an enhanced habitat!
This adventure was 100% worth every penny! We couldn’t recommend Wendy and her business high enough.
We spotted koalas on eucaliptus, some kangaroos and wallabi, bats and birds. We had a very nice pic nic (also for vegan vegetarian and gluten free).
Very recommended
Thanks for the great experience and amazing pictures! You made the trip of a lifetime even better! Book today!
Our guide, Wendy, took us to all the local stops where we were able to see all sorts of Australia's wildlife.
We started off by seeing a colony of flying foxes and also stumbled upon a carpet python!
Our next stop was a boardwalk in a rainforest to see pademelons. Although we couldn't see them by eye, Wendy let us use her thermal monocular and we managed to spot them, along with a few birds by eye.
We proceeded to go see koalas in the wild, and were lucky enough to see them while they were awake and hungry.
The picnic lunch was provided by our guide, and there was a lovely selection of all sorts of foods.
We finished off the tour with some kangaroo and wallaby spotting and managed to see quite a few.
Overall, I was incredibly chuffed with this tour and will definitely book again with the same guide.
Thank you Wendy,
Lisa
So Tom put Plan B into place and drove us to another location where we ended up seeing 7 close by. We could almost reach out and touch them.
This trip was great because all efforts were made to ensure we had a great experience but at the same time mindful about the welfare of the animals. Would definitely recommend Vision Walks to anyone wanting an authentic and sympathetic tour of wildlife. Thanks to Wendy and Tom
Thank you Wendy
Wendy was informative, friendly and so knowledgeable about about the Byron area and environment. When we arrived she gave us a run through of the location and the experiences that were on throughout the day.
The ride out there was a highlight of the day! I highly recommend.
