Party Activities: What to Consider

Group activities around Byron Bay lean on the outdoors: the ocean, the bush and the farms. There are also two indoor studios in town for when the weather turns or the group wants something hands-on and relaxed.

What's on offer:

  • On the water: small-boat whale watching in season, dolphin cruises and summer snorkelling at Julian Rocks with a marine biologist as guide, from $129 per person
  • Wildlife: a sanctuary at Knockrow with keeper talks, animal feeding and mini golf, from $20 per person and well suited to children's parties
  • Paintball: bushland fields at Pimlico for bucks, hens and team-building groups, from $77 per person
  • Creative studios: clay hand-building in a garden studio at $135 per person, and guided painting, ceramics and life drawing on Jonson Street with BYO drinks

Most groups combine one activity with a meal, so pick the activity first and find a venue in the same area. Browse by type on paintball, paint and sip, wildlife experiences and water sports.

Matching the activity to the occasion

  • Team-building groups can split between paintball for the competitive types and a clay or painting class for everyone else
  • Hens groups often book a private studio session or a charter on the water
  • Children's birthdays work well at the wildlife sanctuary or at a painting studio that welcomes kids
  • A Christmas party can start with a morning cruise in whale season and finish over lunch

Weather and seasons

  • Whales pass the cape roughly May to November, while the summer months suit snorkelling
  • Summer storms can call off a boat trip, so ask how rescheduling works
  • The indoor studios are the fallback for a wet day

Booking details

  • Check minimum and maximum group sizes, which run from five people up to a few dozen
  • Ask what's included, such as overalls and masks at paintball or glazing and firing at the clay studio
  • Confirm whether you can bring food and drinks along
