What to Expect

Every year between June and October, close to 10,000 humpback and minke whales migrate along the East Coast of Australia. Witness the greatness of these extraordinary creatures on a whale-watching cruise in Port Stephens, and spot some of the dolphins that call this beautiful region home. Not only will you go in search of wildlife, but you will also get to explore this fantastic coastline via 4WD and give sandboarding a go! 

 

Join your awesome guide as they pick you up early morning from Sydney to head over the Sydney Harbour Bridge towards the mid-north coast of New South Wales. After a brief refreshment stop on the way, you will head towards the amazing Stockton Beach for a little sandboarding adventure on the dunes.

 

Jump in a big 4WD and cruise over the huge Anna Bay dunes to find the biggest drops possible to board down. Embrace the challenge, take a deep breath and whizz down the enormous sand dunes on boards specially designed to fly down sand! Take a moment to soak in the views over the stunning coastline while the adrenaline rushes through you.

 

When you arrive at Port Stephens, take a break for lunch (own expense) at Nelson Bay, the main town of Port Stephens. You will find some cute little souvenir shops around so feel free to have a browse and take in the local atmosphere before joining your amazing whale-watching cruise for the afternoon.

 

Nelson Bay is the ideal spot to see plenty of whales playfully showing off some acrobatics as they make their way along the coast for their annual migration. The region is also home to a diverse array of other wildlife including dolphins, turtles and seabirds. Complete your day with a stop at a lookout offering majestic views over the pristine coast and hinterland before returning to Sydney.
