Who this trip suits
It suits holidays that split time between the Gold Coast and Byron, wedding guests staying on the coast for a celebration in the Byron hinterland, and groups heading south for a weekend. Doing it in one private vehicle means no hire car to return at the other end and no one has to drive home.

One hour ahead in summer
Byron Bay is in NSW, which uses daylight saving; the Gold Coast is in Queensland, which doesn't. For 2026–27, NSW clocks went forward on 4 October 2026 and go back on 4 April 2027 (NSW Government). Between those dates, if you book a pickup in Byron Bay, add a note confirming the time is NSW local time.
Pickup and drop-off
It's door to door at both ends: your driver collects you from the address you enter and drops you at the address you choose. Use a street address or the exact property name for an accurate fare, and add gate codes or access notes for holiday rentals. Fares for every coastal suburb are on Gold Coast suburb transfers.
When you get to Byron
Cape Byron Lighthouse stands on the most easterly point of the Australian mainland; the Walgun Cape Byron walking track loops 3.7 km to reach it, taking about one to three hours (NSW National Parks). Towns around Byron, including Bangalow and Brunswick Heads, are on Byron Shire transfers.
Flying in?
If you're landing at Gold Coast Airport and heading straight to Byron, book the Gold Coast Airport to Byron Bay transfer instead: it's $209 in a sedan. From Brisbane, see private transfers Brisbane to Byron Bay.
