Cross the picturesque Hawkesbury River, famous for Sydney rock oysters, before arriving in Port Stephens. As you arrive in Port Stephens, the “Dolphin Capital” of Australia and home to around 150 bottlenose dolphins, hop aboard the amazing Moonshadow Catamaran and search for pods of bottlenose dolphins, famous in this area. Watch as they play on the bow waves, or why not ride the Boom Net and get up close and personal to these playful creatures! Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant or buffet on the ship. Your private Port Stephens dolphin watching tour would not be complete without discovering the immense Stockton Beach, home to some of the largest sand dunes in the Southern Hemisphere. Why not try sand-boarding; a unique opportunity you won’t forget! Enjoy a relaxed drive back to Sydney after a beautiful day by the sea. N.B. Port Stephens is a 3 hour drive each way from Sydney.
