Fantastic 5.0
It’s a very beautiful journey! My boyfriend and I were from Taiwan. We can understand about English, but not that fluent. Our tour guide, Drew, really took good care of us. Other people were nice to us too! I love the chocolate so much. That’s too bad we can’t buy the chocolate away. Anyway! Find Drew is your best choice~ From Taiwan. 看到Klook上的評論,超級幸運!遇到很棒的導遊Drew, 很照顧我們!我們去了四站,紅酒白酒試喝、pizza+Gin、cheese和wine、巧克力和酒,一整路Drew照顧所有人,最後把我們載回Sydney~儘管大塞車,我們還是有平安抵達!非常推薦!

We had an absolutely fantastic day on the Hunter Valley wine tour with Newy Tour Co. Despite being the only two guests booked, Nathan made the experience feel personal, relaxed and incredibly enjoyable. He was friendly, knowledgeable and a great host throughout the day. The tour offered a perfect mix of wine tastings, spirits, food and wine pairings, finishing with a wonderful cheese and wine experience. The venues were thoughtfully selected, and every staff member we met was welcoming, knowledgeable and passionate about what they do. From start to finish, the day exceeded our expectations and was one of the highlights of our visit. We highly recommend Newy Tour Co and will definitely book again the next time we’re in Newcastle. Thanks, Nathan, for an exceptional day!

The original tour was supposed to go to Newcastle, but we were only informed at 6:15 AM on the day of the tour that it was canceled. We were then offered to go to Wollongong for a skydive experience instead. The overall experience was quite good, but the original return time was 11:30 AM. However, we had to wait for everyone to finish their jumps, including those who joined later, so we didn't depart for Sydney until around 2:00 PM, arriving back in Sydney at approximately 4:00 PM. You should set aside a full day for this. You can also walk along the beach nearby, and the weather was nice, so it felt like visiting an extra place.

So fun!!! The dune came with many difficulties of slopes and we were lucky that they gave us water as it was hot but windy.

What to know before visiting Newcastle

Newcastle at a glance

Newcastle’s Klook bookings are led by tours, with indoor games and outdoor & sports activities also popular — the city’s calendar shows steady demand rather than a single short peak. That mix means you’ll find a blend of guided experiences and active outdoor options through much of the year.

Best times to visit and what to expect

Demand data shows clear high and low periods through the year: the busiest months are concentrated in the peak season, while demand tapers off in the trough months. Prices move through the year as well, with Klook booking data showing the priciest month typically being the peakmonth and the cheapest month usually being the cheapestmonth; overall, prices tend to drift down through the spring. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds, aim for the quieter months; for the liveliest atmosphere and the fullest programme of tours and activities, travel during the peak months.

Tips for travellers

Most experiences in Newcastle can be booked close to travel time: Klook’s platform data suggests travellers typically book about 1 day in advance, with early planners around 4 days ahead. If you’re flexible, many activities remain available at short notice, but during the peak months mentioned above it’s wise to lock in popular tours a few days earlier to secure your spot.
