Top Port Stephens Day Trips

Combine three exhilarating activities into one tour on this full-day adventure from Sydney to Port Stephens. First, set sail across Nelson Bay to spot bottlenose dolphins or whales (depending on the season) swimming and playing in their natural environment. Then, head to Stockton Beach where you can choose to upgrade on a thrilling 4WD tour around the Stockton Dunes (payable direct), followed by the chance to zoom down the dunes on a sandboard. Finally, enjoy free time to swim, sunbathe and stroll along the sands, or saddle up for a camel ride along the beach (extra cost).

Travel over the Sydney Harbour Bridge along the North Coast 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. 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 whale watching cruise to cruise out to sea to witness the annual mass migration of humpback whales. See them leap and breach as they swim close to the coastline. Then off to a 30km long beach and the largest sand dunes in the southern hemisphere to take a 4WD over the dunes to sandboard don the huge slopes – lots of laughs and hard work walking back up! Walk along the beach and in the warmer months you can swim. Today is a coastal adventure for great memories and photos.
