About Connect Adventures
Connect Adventures is a small-group hiking tour company based in the Northern Rivers region near Byron Bay, leading fully guided multi-day bushwalks through some of New South Wales' most spectacular coastal and rainforest landscapes. Their itineraries explore the Tweed Valley, Byron Bay hinterland, Nightcap National Park, and the Clarence Coast — areas that most visitors never see.
They offer a range of guided hiking experiences from single-day walks to multi-day expeditions, with options to carry your own pack or have gear transported between campsites. Signature routes take in Mt Wollumbin, Unicorn Falls, Wanganui Gorge, and Minyon Falls. All hikes are fully catered with locally sourced meals, and private group tours can be tailored to specific fitness levels and interests. They also run cultural walks that celebrate Aboriginal heritage and the ecological significance of the region's World Heritage-listed rainforests.
Connect Adventures fills a gap that Byron Bay's beach-focused tourism industry often misses — the hinterland. Their guides have deep knowledge of the subtropical rainforest ecosystems, the volcanic landscape, and the cultural history of the Bundjalung and Widjabal-Wia-bal people. For visitors who want to go beyond the beach and genuinely explore the region on foot, this is the operator.
