✨ CRYSTAL CASTLE & BYRON BAY LADIES DAY OUT

Saturday 3 October 2026 | Mermaid Waters Departure | Only 10 Places

Picture this…

You climb aboard in Mermaid Waters with a small group of women, leave the Gold Coast behind and head into the beautiful Byron Bay hinterland for a morning somewhere just a little bit magical.

You’ll wander amongst giant crystals and lush subtropical gardens, enjoy a private guided tour of one of the region’s most unique destinations and then experience the beautiful sounds and vibrations of crystal singing bowls during a Crystal Sound Bath.

And that's only the first half of the day.

From there, we're off to Byron Bay for a couple of hours to have lunch, wander the shops, stroll along the beach, grab a drink or simply sit back and watch Byron go by.

No driving. No organising. No wondering who to go with.

Just a fabulous day out with other women.

Welcome to our Flourish Gold Coast Crystal Castle & Byron Bay Ladies Day Out. 💗

💎 OUR MORNING AT CRYSTAL CASTLE

We'll depart Mermaid Waters at 8:30am aboard our private transport and make our way through the beautiful hinterland to Crystal Castle & Shambhala Gardens.

Our 2½-hour Discovery Journey begins at 10am and includes much more than simply walking through the gates.

Our Flourish group will enjoy:

✨ General admission to Crystal Castle & Shambhala Gardens

✨ Our own private 40-minute Guided Highlights Tour, taking us through some of the most fascinating and beautiful parts of Crystal Castle

✨ A Crystal Sound Bath, where we'll experience the sounds and vibrations of crystal singing bowls

✨ Time to wander the beautiful gardens and explore at your own pace

At approximately 12:30pm, we'll climb back aboard and make the short journey into Byron Bay.

🌴 AN AFTERNOON IN BYRON BAY

We'll arrive in Byron at approximately 1pm, where you'll have around two hours to enjoy Byron your way. Have lunch at one of the many cafés, pubs or restaurants, grab some takeaway and head to the beach, browse the boutiques and shops, enjoy a coffee or a cheeky afternoon drink — the choice is completely yours.

Hang out with your new Flourish friends or head off and do your own thing for a while.

We'll meet back at approximately 245pm for our return journey to the Gold Coast, arriving back at Mermaid Waters at around 4:00pm.

💗 TICKETS — $169 PER PERSON - JUST 10 PLACES AVAILABLE

There are only 10 guest tickets available, so you'll be travelling as a small group rather than heading off on a big coach tour.

Come with a friend or come completely on your own — either way, we'll be there to welcome you.

Please refer to our terms and conditions when you book your ticket. Due to the nature of our events, no refunds are offered but tickets are transferrable. A reasonable level of fitness is required for this experience and you must be able to get on and off a bus unassisted. A minimum number of participants is required for this event to go ahead.

💎 ABOUT CRYSTAL CASTLE & SHAMBHALA GARDENS

Tucked away amongst the lush subtropical hinterland near Byron Bay, Crystal Castle & Shambhala Gardens is one of the region's most extraordinary destinations. Part garden sanctuary, part crystal wonderland, it's a place filled with enormous crystals, beautiful gardens, sacred statues, peaceful spaces and some seriously impressive things to discover.

Wander amongst towering crystal formations, giant amethyst geodes and beautiful subtropical gardens. Discover the incredible Crystal Guardians, explore the labyrinth and take some time to simply slow down and enjoy the surroundings.

And here's the important bit — you absolutely don't have to be a “crystal person” to love it.

Crystal Castle is beautiful, fascinating and unlike anywhere else in the region. Whether you're fascinated by crystals or simply keen to experience somewhere completely different, there's plenty to discover. Our guided tour will help bring the story of Crystal Castle to life, while our Crystal Sound Bath gives us the opportunity to experience one of the property's most unique offerings (this part is optional so if you don't want to partake you don't have to). It's a pretty special way to spend a Saturday morning.

💕 ABOUT FLOURISH EXPERIENCES GOLD COAST

Ever found something you'd love to do and thought:

“That looks amazing… but who would I go with?” That's exactly why Flourish exists.

Flourish Experiences brings women together through fabulous events, days out, trips and experiences — and you never need to know anyone before you come.

There's no membership. No cliques. No expectation that you arrive with a friend. Some women come with friends, but many women come to their very first Flourish experience completely on their own. We make that first step easier by taking care of the organising and creating warm, welcoming, hosted experiences where women can have fun, try something new and naturally meet other women along the way.

Flourish Experiences began in Tasmania and has grown into a wonderful community of women enjoying everything from walks and lunches to theatre weekends, interstate adventures and once-in-a-lifetime trips.

And now we're growing our Flourish Gold Coast community too. 💗

So if you've been watching Flourish from the sidelines thinking you'd love to come along one day… maybe this is your day.

Come on your own. Bring a friend. Meet someone new.

All you have to do is book your ticket and we'll take care of the rest.
