Private Port Stephens Day Trip from Sydney incl Dolphin Cruise
Description
Cross over the famous Sydney Harbour Bridge before heading a few hours north out of Sydney to visit the spectacular Port Stephens. The Bay is home to over 160 resident bottle nosed dolphins, ensuring a high success rate in sightings! Hop abroad a triple-deck catamaran with expansive open decks, as well as all-weather indoor viewing. Bring your swim suit and pile into the boom-net, which sits off the side of the catamaran and dip in and out of the waves on the ride of your life! Discover the white sandy beaches, the largest sand dunes in the Southern Hemisphere and the lovely seaside town of Nelson Bay. If you're feeling adventurous, opt for an optional 4WD tour sand boarding adventure on the sand dunes of Stockton Beach (own expense). Enjoy the sights from Gan Gan Lookout, and commanding views of the whole of Port Stephens, right through to Newcastle in the south and the Myall Lakes to the north. After your big day out, sit back and relax on your drive back to Sydney.

We hope you have a great time out with Andrew on your private Blue Mountains tour today. Safe travels Steve Arnerich Owner, Runaway Tours, Sydney
Chris, our guide is wonderful. He is very knowledgeable and attentive. Sandboarding is the best part. Kids had so much fun. The trip is private and tailored to our needs. so we don’t have to travel with large groups. thank you
