Travel north over the Sydney Harbour Bridge 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. Seeing these wonderful animals in the wild is wonderful memory for life.
On our return to Sydney we have a brief refreshment stop.

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 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!

It was terrible from the beginning of the trip. We have been to other trips but this is first time to experience this. We were not allowed to have even coffee in the bus in the morning. We had to throw what we bought. We were excited to have camel ride but he said it was before covid however it was in the details of the trip. We were said to be taken swimming after sand-boarding but it was cancelled. We had to come home itching everywhere. Not at all happy with the experience.

Loved the Tour guide!
The experience was really nice I especially liked the sand boarding. The only thing I would have liked is if we had a bit more time in Nelson Bay to explore☺️

We had gone on the tour on October 9th, but we had a terrible experience with the cruise. The 1 hour 30 minutes dolphin cruise was supposed to start at 1:30 PM but started 20 minutes late and the ship started to make way back to the port at 2:45 PM.
We could not spot any dolphins in the sea and the captain gave up after 10 minutes with the ship just roaming the middle of the sea aimlessly. The locals informed us that there were bunch of dolphins near the coast but the captain did not make any attempt to even look for them but was simply steering it aimlessly. Terrible experience of dolphin watching.
We have shared the experience with colourful trips but have not received any revert back from them so far.
I would definitely rate it 0 stars.
