Crystal Castle and Shambhala Gardens Byron Bay Hinterland

Nestled in the Byron Bay hinterland, Crystal Castle is a magical, nature-filled sanctuary that's home to the world's largest collection of giant crystals. Stand between the towering Crystal Guardians - the tallest smoky quartz geodes ever found at 5.5 metres tall. Sit inside the Dragon Egg, a 120-million-year-old amethyst crystal cave. Marvel at the 20-tonne Enchanted Cave, filled with millions of sparkling amethyst crystals, and explore 5 hectares of subtropical botanical gardens, including a regenerated rainforest with 10,000 native trees. Walk the Crystal Labyrinth, inspired by the 800-year-old Chartres Cathedral, and touch the Kalachakra World Peace Stupa, personally blessed by His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Your Day Pass includes a Crystal Singing Bowls session (12 pm and 3 pm), a Crystal Meditation session (1:30 pm), and a Guided Tour (11 am). Enjoy wholesome vegetarian meals at the Lotus Café, then browse the Castle Jewels store for unique crystal keepsakes and artisan jewellery. A truly unforgettable experience awaits!
