Overview

Embark on an unforgettable small-group day tour to Port Stephens, blending adventure, relaxation, and local flavour.

Start your morning with a scenic guided hike up Mount Tomaree (2.2km return) for panoramic views of the coastline and offshore islands. Prefer a slower pace? A flat coastal walk is available too.

Next, board a 1.5-hour dolphin-watching cruise through the bay, home to over 160 resident bottlenose dolphins.

After your marine adventure, enjoy a relaxing lunch at a popular local eatery (at your own cost) with fresh fish and seafood options available. Then unwind on the golden sands of one of Port Stephens’ pristine beaches—swim, sunbathe or simply take in the view.

Cap off the day with a visit to B Farm for a craft beer tasting and a glimpse into the region’s local brewing scene. Throughout the day, our expert guides share fascinating stories about the area’s wildlife, culture and history.

Let us handle the details while you discover the very best of Port Stephens.
