Yuraygir Coastal Walk
The Yuraygir Coastal Walk is a hidden gem waiting to be rediscovered. Spanning 65km of pristine coastline along the NSW Clarence Coast, this walk is a breathtaking journey through remote beaches, paperbark forests, headlands and the ancestral lands of the Yaegle and Gumbaynggirr people.
Connect Adventures tour is a 5-day/4-night pack-free guided walk along the Yuraygir Coastal Walk (starting Sept 15).
This beautiful coastal walk begins at the iconic and world-renowned surfing village of Angourie, just south of Yamba (only 1 hour drive or shuttle bus from Ballina Byron airport). The tour departs from Angourie Point to follow the coastline and the Yuraygir National Park for 5 days of hiking on unspoiled and pristine beaches and coastal tracks void of anyone else.
During the migration season, there is no better time to see humpback whales, either heading north in May to July or heading south in July to October.
