Robert Irwin is making the most of his time off over the holidays as he hit the road for a coastal family vacation.
The zookeeper, 21, took to Instagram on Saturday to give an insight into how he had spent the festive season with his mother Terri, 60, and sister Bindi, 26.
They were also joined by Bindi’s husband Chandler Powell, 28, and their daughter Grace Warrior, three, as the family visited Byron Bay over Christmas.
Robert appeared to be in good spirits as he enjoyed a beachside vacation just weeks before the new season of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! Australia kicks off next month.
In one snap, Robert flashed a huge smile as he took a selfie with his family while they explored the sights at the Crystal Castle and Shambhala Gardens, a tranquil and meditative attraction located in the Byron Bay hinterland.
Robert also shared a selfie from inside a stunning amethyst cave at the meditative sanctuary, while he also snapped a picture of the ‘Buddha Walk’.

The group also headed to Cape Bryon Lighthouse and another photo showed Robert, Chandler, and Grace enjoying a tranquil walk through a tree-lined nature trail.
A final photograph showed Robert looking every inch the doting uncle as he played with Grace down at the beach.
Robert has been enjoying some much-needed time off with his family before his busy duties as the co-host of I’m A Celebrity kick off in the new year.
The conservationist is returning as co-host of the Channel 10 reality TV series alongside Julia Morris for the second year running.
His debut on the primetime TV program was met by rave reviews from viewers last year, and he is hoping to keep up the positive praise during his second run as host.
In recent days, Robert has not shied away from showing off how he has spent the Christmas period ahead of his busy work schedule kicking off again.
And he received quite the shocking Christmas surprise on Boxing Day as he shared a TikTok video showing a scene that would have most jumping for the rafters.
In the video, Robert said: ‘Tell me you live in Australia without telling me you live in Australia.’

He then panned his phone around to reveal shoe rack lined with an array of footwear.
‘Have a look at the shoe rack,’ Robert exclaimed as it became evident that a large snake had perched itself across the top row of shoes.
‘What’s the plan here, mate? What are you doing? Those are mine!’ Robert said to the sly serpent, referring to a pair of boots the snake was eyeing off.
The snake, which was a non-venomous carpet python, then began to coil its long body inside one of Robert’s boots, much to his amazement.
‘I don’t know what the plan is there, buddy. You’re not going to fit in there,’ Robert added, however his words went unheeded with the snake embedding itself further into his boot.
‘Get out of my shoe!’ he exclaimed before admitting he was unclear how he would extricate the snake from his footwear.
Placing his phone down, Robert knelt in front of the boot and effortlessly pulled the snake from its would-be new home.

‘What are you doing on a shoe rack?’ Robert asked his slithering shoe squatter. ‘You don’t even have any feet!’
The post was met with a flurry of comments from followers, with many suggesting that the snake could not have chosen a better house to wander into.
‘Well that little guy wandered into the best house possible,’ one fan wrote.
Another said: ‘He’s like I found Robert Irwin’s house and I’m staying. I will be well looked after.’
