Byron Solar Train
With a rich history spanning back to 1949, our two-carriage heritage train is every bit as charming as it is environmentally friendly.
Immaculately restored and efficiently fueled by the sun, this world-first in train technology runs along a three kilometre coastal track linking the Byron Town Centre with the North Beach precinct and Byron Arts Estate. Our passengers relax on vintage lounge seats while taking in the natural beauty of rainforests and coastal wetlands. With a 96 seated passenger capacity, plus generous space for standing, luggage, bikes, prams and surfboards — this train has truly accommodated for the Byron Bay lifestyle.
