Ballina to Byron Bay Transfers
Private, fixed-price transfers between Ballina Byron Gateway Airport (BNK), Ballina town and Byron Bay. 32km, around 35 minutes, flight-tracked.
Ballina Byron Gateway (BNK) is Byron Bay’s local airport — 32 kilometres and about 35 minutes door to door — and a pre-booked BYRO transfer is the fastest way through it. Private vehicle, local driver, fixed fare from $120 one-way. The terminal is small enough that from touchdown to driving off with your driver is routinely under fifteen minutes.
How the service works
Book online, add your flight number, and the rest is handled: we track the flight, your driver waits at the arrivals exit with a name sign, and a late landing simply shifts the pickup. Departing from Byron, allow about 90 minutes before a domestic flight — your driver confirms the exact time the day before, with live SMS/WhatsApp updates.
We cover all of Ballina Shire, not just the airport — Ballina town, Lennox Head, Skennars Head and the coast road — to Byron Bay, the hinterland, or straight through to Gold Coast and Brisbane airports.

Frequently asked questions
How much is a transfer from Ballina Airport to Byron Bay?
From $120 one-way in a sedan, fixed at booking — the form quotes every vehicle tier for your exact flight. Vans for groups of up to 7 quote on the same page, and a booked return saves against two one-ways.
How long does Ballina to Byron Bay take?
Around 35 minutes for the 32km run up the coast road or motorway depending on the time of day. BNK is Byron’s true local airport — you can be at your accommodation before a Gold Coast arrival has cleared the airport car park.
Where does the driver meet me at BNK?
Ballina Byron Gateway is a small, easy terminal — your driver waits at the arrivals exit with a name sign, a short walk from the baggage belt. Flights are tracked, so a late landing just moves the pickup; there is no waiting fee for normal delays.
Do you service Ballina town and Lennox Head too, not just the airport?
Yes — anywhere in Ballina Shire. Ballina town, West Ballina, Lennox Head, Skennars Head and the coast road villages are all regular pickups, to Byron Bay or onward to either Gold Coast or Brisbane airports.
Can I book a late-night arrival into BNK?
Yes. Bookings are pre-arranged and the vehicle is held for your flight regardless of hour. Add the flight number when booking; if the last flight of the night runs late, we are tracking it and the driver adjusts.
