Tips

If you have extra time, extend your stay by adding a day trip to the nearby Angourie Blue Pool for relaxed swimming, or replace the marine park snorkelling with a coastal hike on the Garrigan River Walk. To shorten the itinerary, combine the Jetty walk with the Big Banana visit on Day 1 and skip the Dorrigo National Park day, focusing instead on the town’s beaches and local markets.
