Travel from Sydney to Port Stephens for a 90-minute dolphin cruise, koala sanctuary visit, Aussie-style lunch, 4WD beach ride, and sandboarding on Stockton’s huge dunes. Guides such as Alfie, Yan, Gordon, Chen, and Tom are noted for friendly help, but expect up to six hours on the road.
“We had a great time with Alfie on our tour up to Port Stephens! Got to see a bunch of dolphins and the koalas were the best. Sun came out and it was perfect at the dunes! This was my second time booking Viator for a tour up to Port Stephens and would definitely go again”
Leave Sydney Central early for Anna Bay’s 4WD sand safari and sandboarding, then enjoy lunch in Nelson Bay. Choose a dolphin cruise with marine commentary or hike Mount Tomaree for harbour views. Guides including James, Mac, Maikel, and Stefan are known for friendly help and group photos.
“The guide was very kind he was able to adapt to his clientele! I recommend it because it will remain one of my favourite excursions! We could see a lot of dolphins and the atmosphere was incredible despite the age difference of the group! Our guide is called Mac”
Travel from Sydney to Port Stephens with a private driver-guide, stopping at Gan Gan Lookout, Little Beach, Nelson Bay, and Stockton Sand Dunes. Add a dolphin or whale cruise, sandboarding, or camel ride at your own cost. Guide James is named in one review.
“Love this experience! Saw many dolphins and they are spectacular. Sandboarding was fun. Unfortunately no camel rides available. The guide, James is really nice. The only thing that viator could improve is to let us know we could swim in the cruise (the guides may not know since they are not allowed on the cruise) so we could make preparations.”
Pick a wharf, a lookout or a cellar door.
