On your journey you can expect to experience the best of Cape Byron while gaining knowledge of the rich biodiversity, walk ancestral paths, see native wildlife, learn about conservation & be enlightened by our sun salutations at the highest point.
As the adventure reaches the lighthouse, wanderers will get to enjoy the first sunrise in Australia and connect with the sun, a symbol of our eternal, expansive, unlimited being. When Sunlight hits our eyes, the pineal gland in our body, which is also referred to as the third eye, gets activated. With this activation, you can manifest and achieve your dreams close to your heart.
During sunrise, wanderers will be guided through a series of sun salutations which are a sequence of yoga poses (asanas) which are designed to engage, stretch, and invigorate the whole body while keeping the focus on meditative breathing. Conditioning the body and calming the mind during sunrise will ensure a bounty of benefits are received.
The therapeutic technique of sun salutations during sunrise will result in a state of mindful awareness. This mental state will focus one's awareness on the present moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting one's feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations. The numerous benefits include decreased stress, increased focus and happiness.
Wander Byron operates within Cape Byron State conservation area and under an exclusive licence with NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service. Walgun, as Cape Byron is known by its traditional custodians, maintains spiritual, cultural and historical importance for the Bundjalung of Byron Bay (Arakwal) Aboriginal People. Aboriginal people have lived in the area for more than 40,000 years. Everything in the landscape has significance – land and waterways, plants and animals are associated with dreaming stories, cultural learning, cultural activities and cultural uses. It’s imperative that we all work together to conserve these areas.
For every guided tour booked, Wander gives $3.50 to NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service. The money is used to monitor vulnerable species and address threats, which can include feral animals, weeds and fire, and implements actions to target their impacts. There are a number of significant Aboriginal sites and artefacts within Cape Byron Conservation Area and the money also goes towards protecting these important cultural items.
