Port Stephens incloent creuer amb dofins, koales i surf de sorra

Em va agradar que fóssim un grup petit de 7 persones a l'excursió i el ritme va ser l'adequat. El temps de viatge de Sydney a Port Stephens és de 3-4 hores. Estigueu preparats per passar la major part del temps a la carretera. El conductor/guia era bo, i també teníem un guia japonès. L'aigua i el dinar ja estan inclosos. En general, va ser una experiència divertida.

Hi havia molts dofins per veure, però depenia de la nostra sort aquell dia, tal com va mencionar el personal del creuer. Ens vam divertir amb totes les activitats proporcionades, i el guia era super amable i parlava amb fluïdesa tant anglès com xinès. No obstant això, van canviar el programa per visitar el santuari de coales en lloc del celler, però tot i així va ser agradable i fantàstic veure els coales allà.

Vaig utilitzar l'Australia Pass per a dues activitats i em va sortir un 30% més barat que comprar-les per separat. És fàcil d'utilitzar. L'itinerari és molt complet: al santuari de koales vaig veure uns óssos koala adorables, incloïa un dinar de peix i patates fregides, i al passeig en vaixell vaig veure dofins. Molt satisfet! Anna Bay té un paisatge preciós i el sandboarding és emocionant i divertit. Recomanat!

We opted for the All-inclusive Day Trip and went for the tour in May 2023. We received an email and sms on the pickup details the day before our tour. The tour started off early at around 7am, and was conducted in dual language (English/Chinese) due to the diversity of the tour members. Our first stop was to Murray's Brewery, where we tried 3 types of wine. Then we went for 4WD and sandboarding at Stockton Beach, followed by Lunch, and finally the Dolphin Cruise at Nelson Bay (around 1.5hrs). The journey back to Sydney was almost 3hrs, and we finally reached around 6 plus. We had fun trying the sandboarding, which can look a bit intimidating, and were really happy to see the dolphins! We do felt that the tour was a little too fast paced. The time allocated at each stop, especially at Murray's Brewery which we were only given 20mins, could be longer. Although the guide and driver did explain the need for the rush (to avoid crowd and to be punctual for the cruise), it does take out a bit of the enjoyment and affect our experience a little.

1.司機兼導遊Alan很認真講解，當天行程因車上皆亞裔（台灣、香港、韓國、日本、中國），所以Alan語速很慢，低低悠悠的訴說，不過對英文不好的人，加上澳洲腔，理解上還是一知半解，導致錯過許多有趣的新知。 2.當天一早6點45分在中央車站的長程巴士停車場搭接駁車（建議早點去找定位點，因為對方表示無法久停等候）出發，行程約略為休息站、賞豚（海豚比黃金海的鯨魚還更容易看到，海豚們直接在船邊悠遊）、午餐（漁港餐廳自理）、滑沙（高度不高，但作為體驗已足，往返會換乘沙漠四驅車）、酒莊品酒，回程約晚上6、7點且會放大家在亞洲美食聚集的皮特街下車解散。 3.本產品套裝價格為最終價格，行程當天不會需要再繳交其他費用。不像有些相似行程，就其他旅客回饋，還有另收導遊費現金等之情形。

Vaig utilitzar l'Australia Pass per participar en dues activitats, la qual cosa va ser un 30% més barat que comprar-les per separat. És molt còmode d'utilitzar. L'itinerari és ric; vaig veure adorables coales al Koala Sanctuary, vaig gaudir d'un dinar de peix i patates fregides, i vaig veure dofins a l'excursió en vaixell, la qual cosa va ser molt satisfactòria. Anna Bay té un paisatge impressionant, i fer sandboard va ser emocionant i divertit. Molt recomanable!

Vam veure un petit grup de dofins i vam provar el sandboard, així que els objectius es van complir. L'Alan va ser un guia amable i servicial, donant-nos temps suficient a cada lloc per gaudir de l'experiència completa. Vam tenir la sort de tenir un grup petit (8 persones en total) i membres cooperatius, així que no hi va haver cap retard i va ser una excursió d'un dia molt agradable :)

We had an amazing day with Gordon and Tom of Brighton Tours! I highly recommend to take this tour: Day Tour to Port Stephens (Dolphin Watching, Visit Koala Sanctuary and Sand Boarding) and avail their services. Gordon and Tom were easy to approach with, attended to our inquiries, great time management, knowlegeable about Australia and shared fun facts about our activities/destination. Plus, we arrived safely. a. Dolphin watching and lunch at Moonshadow - We got to see them gracefully swimming around. Then, I'm satisfied with the fish and chips with Salad on the side. b. Visit the Koala Sanctuary - We got to see those Koalas rescued and can't go back to the wild due to their current state (Blinky, Ms Sunset, Tilly to name a few). Got to see a Tawney Frogmouth and bees. c. Sand Boarding and Sand Dunes - We transferred to a 4WD and hit the sand. It's our 1st time sand boarding. Plus, we made a quick detour to the beach for a photo.

行程相當豐富，喺Koala sanctuary見到可愛樹熊，遊Moin shadow船景色優美，包fish and chips lunch，遊船見到海豚，好滿足。 Anna Bay風景超靚，滑沙刺激好玩。樂而忘返！

saw the dolphins swimming very near to our boat! good experience! the kids fish and chips lunch served on board actually tastes much better than the adults one. visit to koala sanctuary that houses injured koalas was great. saw them at close distance. samdboarding was an interesting experience for us first timers but it actually gets really tiring after the third round haha..
