Byron Bay is notorious for its gorgeous beaches and vibrant surroundings (oh, and a few celebrities like Chris Hemsworth, too). However, that pesky weather loves to throw a spanner in the works, especially during the winter months. If your bucks weekend plans get rained out and you find yourself stuck inside, don’t despair. Byron Bay offers a host of indoor activities which are just as fun, thrilling and adventurous as exploring the outdoor scenery.
Here are some of our top picks for indoor activities in Byron Bay that will ensure your weekend is a memorable one, even without the sunshine.
1. Rock Climbing
If your groom is looking to celebrate his last weekend of freedom with a thrill, indoor rock climbing is a great activity to get your adrenaline pumping. Regardless of your group’s skill level, Byron Bay offers accessible climbing gyms that cater to both beginners and experts. The physical challenge makes the sense of achievement upon reaching the top unbeatable and definitely earns you and the boys a celebratory pint afterwards.
Circus Arts is a great option, with 20 climbs of varying difficulty, and perhaps even a cheeky trapeze afterwards to keep the adventure going. All in all, indoor rock climbing is the ideal activity to bond with your mates, test your limits, and foster some friendly competition – the perfect concoction for an epic bucks party.
2. Comedy or Magic Show
Byron Bay’s lively arts scene offers a host of evening performances, with many magic and comedy shows sure to keep you and your best mates entertained all night. Whether you opt for a stand-up comedy act, an improv show, or a magic show, this is a great way to kick back, relax, and enjoy a good time with friends; the shared memories and laughs created are well worth it. Time it right and you might be lucky enough to explore Byron’s comedy festival, which runs in the first week of June every year, and provides side-splitting laughs. The festival describes itself as: “Saving the world, one joke at a time.”
3. Spa Day
Spa days are not just for the hens! Treating you and your bucks is a fantastic option for a luxurious and laid-back bucks party. Whether you need reviving from a big night before, or perhaps are simply after a relaxing celebration, Byron Bay is renowned for its wellness culture, with a plethora of spas to accommodate your Bucks.
Treat yourself to a massage at Osprey, a facial at Eléme or a soak in the sauna at Gaia. It’s a great way to unwind, giving the groom a much-needed break from the stress of wedding planning. After all, everyone deserves to be pampered every now and then, revitalising the group for the rest of the celebrations.
4. Distillery tours
If you’re looking to crank up the sophistication (or to just drink the rain away), why not book in for a brewery and distillery tour? Byron Bay’s craft beer and spirits scene is thriving, with a number of excellent distilleries ready to host your group. Sample some fine whiskeys and beers in a private tasting session, exploring new flavours and discovering new favourites, all while getting an insight into the production processes.
Stone & Wood Brewery and Cape Byron Distillery are local favourites, complementing your tastings with gourmet food and elevating the experience into an indulgent one. Regardless of the weather, distillery tours are a great activity for your bucks, bringing on the booze with a touch of class.
5. Private Poker Party
