ITINERARY


Day 1: Sydney to Barrington Tops

Depart Sydney and drive to the beautiful Barrington Tops, exploring the sub-tropical rainforest of the Barrington River on a guided interpretive walk. Take in the unique surroundings, learning about the flora and fauna of the area, In the afternoon, arrive at the Barrington River Lodge, an awesome property located in remote bush land. Enjoy the wildlife and scenery, or participate in activities such as horse riding or the unique night river kayaking for which this property is famous (both at own expense).

Day 2: Barrington Tops to Surf Camp

Today we head to our secluded surf camp, located within walking distance to spectacular white sandy beaches on the northern NSW coast. Here we hook up with the crew from Mojo Surf (some of Australia's best surf instructors) whose mission is to get you standing on a board by the end of this trip! You will start with a theory lesson on surfing and then it's straight out to the beach to get you on a board. If surfing isn't for you perhaps sun bake on the crystal white sands or take a walk around the beautiful headland. When your afternoon of surfing or chilling out on the beach is complete, hang out and have dinner back at the Mojo Beach House. (B D)

Day 3: Surf Camp to Byron Bay

After a delicious breakfast, hit the beach again for your morning surf lesson. By now you should have the basic surf techniques sorted and some aspiring surfers in the group will be turning at the base of clean breaking waves by the end of this lesson! Everyone who participates in surf school will be given a progressive surf certificate before heading north along the coast to Byron Bay. Overnight dorm included. (B)

Day 4: Byron Bay

This morning you will participate in your final surf lesson. The afternoon is free to soak up the chilled out atmosphere of Byron Bay. Overnight accommodation is included (meals at own expense).
