Crystal Castle & Shambhala Gardens

About

Crystal Castle is located in the Byron Bay Hinterland and features the world’s largest collection of giant crystals. See the Crystal Guardians, smoky quartz geodes standing 5.5 m tall. Sit inside the Dragon Egg, a 120-million-year-old amethyst crystal cave. Visit the 20-tonne Enchanted Cave and walk through 5 hectares of 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, blessed by the Dalai Lama. Your day pass includes a crystal singing bowls session (12:00 and 15:00), a crystal meditation session (13:30), and a guided tour (11:00). Enjoy vegetarian meals at the Lotus Café (not included) and browse the Castle Jewels store for crystal items and jewellery.
