Overview

With a maximum of 24 travellers, enjoy a carbon neutral, personalised day tour to the blue water paradise of Port Stephens. With crystal clear waters, Port Stephens boasts over 26 pristine beaches, National Parks and diverse marine life. The action starts with a visit to Birubi Point with the majestic 30km long Stockton Beach and the Southern Hemisphere's biggest sand dunes! Take a 4WD over the dunes to sandboard down the huge slopes – lots of laughs and hard work walking back up! Walk along the beach and in the warmer months (conditions permitting) you can swim. At Nelson Bay we have free time for lunch (own expense) with plenty of venues and shops to wander and find what you like. It’s then onto a fun dolphin watching cruise to get up close to the local population of bottle nose dolphins that call this paradise home. Jump in the boom net (warmer months) or stay dry on deck seeing these wonderful animals in the wild. Grab an ice cream or drink before our return to Sydney

Great experience

Published on Jan, 2024

Enough time to play the sand slide and the tour guide - Peter is so nice and give clear instructions. Nice to see the dolphins at a short distance.

The best Port Stephens day tour by far

Published on Jun, 2023

The best Port Stephens tour we have ever done (and we've done a few)! Dolphins, sand dunes, beautiful bays and lookouts - the perfect balance between lots of things to see and do and a relaxed pace to enjoy them. And Peter is an amazing guide!
