Our Favourites

Your Port Stephens adventure begins at Birubi Point, located at the northern end of the 30km-long Stockton Beach. Ride in a powerful 4WD vehicle across the famous Anna Bay sand dunes, then enjoy the thrill of sandboarding down some of the highest dunes in the region.

After a lunch break (own expense), you’ll join a relaxing dolphin-watching cruise. Port Stephens is home to over 150 bottlenose dolphins, often seen swimming and jumping beside the boat.

Later, explore the charming coastal town of Nelson Bay. Enjoy free time to walk along the waterfront, browse local shops, or try some ice cream. With stunning beaches, friendly locals, and a peaceful seaside atmosphere, this day tour offers the perfect escape from Sydney.
