Getting there

Public Bus

To reach Nightcap National Park from Byron Bay, start by taking the local bus service from the Byron Bay Bus Interchange. Look for the bus that goes towards Mullumbimby. Once you arrive at Mullumbimby, you will need to transfer to a service that heads to Lismore, asking the driver to drop you off at the closest stop to Nightcap National Park. Keep in mind that this may require confirming the bus schedules as they can vary. From the bus stop, you may need to walk to the park entrance, which is located on Tuntable Trail.

Bicycle Rental

Another option is to rent a bicycle from one of the local shops in Byron Bay. Once you have your bike, head west towards Bangalow Road and then follow the signs to Mullumbimby. The ride is approximately 20 kilometers and will take you through some scenic landscapes. After reaching Mullumbimby, continue on the road towards Nightcap National Park. Be sure to keep an eye on the road signs and local maps to guide you to Tuntable Trail.

Walking Tour

If you're feeling adventurous and want to experience the natural beauty of the area, consider walking. From Byron Bay, head towards the Cape Byron Lighthouse and then follow the walking trails towards Mullumbimby. The journey is quite long, approximately 25 kilometers, and will take several hours. Be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes, bring plenty of water, and take breaks along the way. Once you reach Mullumbimby, ask locals for directions to Tuntable Trail to enter Nightcap National Park.

Taxi or Rideshare

For a more convenient option, you can book a taxi or rideshare service (like Uber) from Byron Bay directly to Nightcap National Park. Simply provide the driver with the address: Tuntable Trail, Nightcap NSW 2480. This method will get you there directly but can be more costly compared to public transport.
