4) Beach Horse Riding
If you love being in the great outdoors then Byron Bay has it all. With yoga, great food and hot air ballooning ticked off your list, you can feel the wind in your hair with horse riding at Elements of Byron.
September in Byron is traditionally dry and warm making it the perfect time to saddle up and take a leisurely horseback ride on the beach or a trail ride through the forest.
At Zephyr, all levels of experience are catered for and regular tours are capped at eight to 10 people. Custom rides for large groups can be arranged and ride times will vary depending on the weather so be sure to call ahead.
It’s a fantastic experience that’s perfect for a September trip to Byron.
5) Family Fun in Brunswick Heads
Just 15 minutes’ drive from Elements, Brunswick Heads is a family day out that promises good, clean fun, nature-based action and a little magic.
The riverside park
Build sandcastles or hunt for pippies on Torakina Beach, a gentle river beach that’s perfect for little ones, clock some wheel time at the skate park or enrol in the Brunswick Bush School to learn bush survival skills.
Pick up a trail map from the Visitors Centre and try to find Bruswick Heads’ tiniest and most magical inhabitants – the fairies! If you’re keen-of-eye, you’ll spot their colourful doors through town stores, up in the trees and even in a mailbox at the post office!
When grumbling bellies call for a break from the action there are plenty of kid-friendly places to feed the family.
Hotel Brunswick is a great choice with easy kids meals and a play area, or enjoy a great brunch at Footbridge Cafe, which offers a friendly vintage atmosphere opposite the river and park, plus toys for the kids.
