About this experience
Port Stephens: Day Tour from Sydney + Dolphin Watching Cruise is a 12-hour guided day trip departing Central Station and travelling north to Port Stephens, a sheltered bay around two and a half hours from Sydney. The coach passes the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House before continuing through the Hawkesbury River region, with a brief stop for coffee en route. The tour is led by a driver-guide throughout and includes express coach transfers in both directions. On arrival in Nelson Bay, guests board the Moonshadow TQC Cruise for a 90-minute dolphin-watching eco cruise with live commentary; a boom net swim is available weather permitting. Lunch is an Aussie fish and chips meal served on board after the cruise. The afternoon moves to Stockton Bight, home to the largest moving sand dunes in the Southern Hemisphere, where a 4WD vehicle takes visitors onto the beach for sandboarding with instruction and unlimited runs. The day closes with a guided visit to a local farm where a tasting of wines produced on site is served by the host before the return to Sydney. Tickets cover the coach, driver-guide, snacks and water, the cruise, on-board lunch, 4WD beach access, and sandboarding. Personal food purchases, travel insurance, and items not listed are at the visitor's own cost. Departure is from Coach Bay 8, upper level, 486 Pitt Street. The tour is not wheelchair accessible. Alcohol is not sold through this listing. Any tasting is served on site by the operator to guests of legal drinking age.
