Nimbin and Surf
Kool Kats Learn to Surf
Unfortunately not everyone can seem to catch a long break from their busy schedule, but this doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy two days in beautiful Byron Bay. Kill two birds with one stone as you learn how to surf and visit Nimbin, a popular tourist destination that is unlike anything you have ever seen. The Happy Frog Coach is something which can’t be missed; this groovy rainbow coloured bus will pick you up and take you along a scenic route to Nimbin.

Out on the Back
Black Dog Surfing
If you already have great accommodation in Byron Bay but don’t want to miss out on learning how to surf, then we suggest heading to Black Dog Surfing School. Known for its personal and private surfing lessons, you can really master those larger waves and ride them all the way through. The Out the Back 3 day course means you not only get the attention of a professional surf instructor, but also make friends who are just as passionate about surfing as you are. They also offer private tuition if you still feel like you need more one-on-one attention to master dropping into a big one.
