Ride In Style

Byron Bay, perched on Australia’s New South Wales coast, is known for its sweeping beaches and relaxed vibe, but beyond the surf lies a unique way to experience the region’s natural charm—aboard the Byron Solar Train. Offering the "Ride In Style" package, this innovative tour combines heritage rail travel with a gourmet lunch at the North Byron Hotel, creating a memorable outdoor adventure that blends quaint tradition with eco-conscious innovation. The Byron Solar Train stands out as an environmentally friendly heritage railway, powered entirely by solar energy.

The two-carriage 660 series rail motor runs quietly along its scenic route, weaving through coastal bushland and the hinterland’s scattered farmland. This is not a high-speed thrill ride but a leisurely journey that invites guests to slow down and absorb the landscape—the eucalyptus-scented air, the quiet chirping of native birds, and the occasional glimpse of wallabies at dawn or dusk. Passengers on the Ride In Style trip receive a return ticket plus a choice of main meals served at the nearby North Byron Hotel, itself a destination with sweeping timber decks overlooking lush bushland.

The Hotel complements the train’s laid-back but upscale feel, serving a curated selection of craft beers and natural wines alongside locally inspired cuisine. Its family-friendly atmosphere with a children’s play area ensures the experience appeals to groups and families alike. Accessibility is a priority here, with ramps and facilities accommodating mobility needs, making this train ride inclusive and welcoming.

Whether you come as part of a corporate group, a family gathering, or simply a curious traveler, the Byron Solar Train offers a rare combination of sustainability, comfort, and a distinctly Byron Bay perspective. The Ride In Style experience is more than just a ride; it's a chance to connect with nature through quiet travel, support local hospitality, and enjoy a slice of Australian outdoor culture off the beaten path.
