Highlights / General details Today you’re visiting the picturesque coastal town of Port Stephens. Heading out over the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge, your local Australian Driver/Guide will provide expert commentary as you travel through the beautiful Hawkesbury Ranges. A haven for nature and history lovers, the Hawkesbury region is situated among Wollemi and Blue Mountains National Parks. Pass through magnificent natural sandstone, waterway and Eucalypt forests. Often referred to as Australia’s blue water paradise, Port Stephens’ quiet golden beaches are surrounded by crystal clear water and never-ending blue skies. The abundance of marine life here makes it the ideal location to spend some time on the water in search of dolphins and other amazing aquatic creatures. Now you’ll hop on your boat and head out on the water in search of dolphins. The beautiful and gentle bottlenose dolphins have several pods in the area so there is always a very good chance of seeing one, if not many. While enjoying the dolphins and the view from one of the three viewing decks, your hosts will be on hand to ensure a great day for everyone. The Stockton Bight Sand Dunes is the largest sand dune system in Australia. Stretching for 32 kilometres, this surreal landscape is barren of vegetation and has dunes that climb up to 40 metres high. You’ll travel in a purpose-built 4WD to Stockton Bight where you can sand-board at your own pace or experience the thrill of high speed down the enormous dunes. After we finish our adventure on the Dunes, it’s back onto the coach for our return to Sydney.
