Venture into Byron Bay’s verdant hinterland to discover Crystal Castle, home to some of the world’s largest and most stunning natural crystals. Crystal Castle offers exceptional interactive activities as well, with regular daily guided experiences and hands-on workshops. The Enchanted Cave is a definite highlight, comprised entirely of a single geode totalling over 20,000 kilograms.
The Peace Experience includes a sound healing bath, meditation and sacred Kora Walk around The World Peace Stupa, while the daily Statue Puja Ritual honours various deities within the Shambhala Gardens. Don’t miss seeing the iconic Crystal Guardians, two of the world’s tallest geodes at 5.5 metres.
During your visit, stroll through the Shambhala Gardens to admire stone statues and ancient crystals dating back as far as 500 million years. You’ll also encounter the labyrinth, an amethyst rock wall, rare crystals and ancient fossils. Before leaving, spend 30 minutes having your tarot cards read by one of the trained team members.
