Things to do in Nelson Bay

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.

Super small group, driver Mike only served our family of three and another family of four, a small group of seven people, which was great. Sandboarding, whale chasing, saw whales and dolphins, it was worth the trip.

This was the itinerary I was most looking forward to during the first day of our trip to Australia, and it exceeded my expectations. The entire trip was so much fun, and Chris the guide's witty and fun humor and simple stories about Australia's history were all great. In the middle of the trip, whenever we were moving on the bus, he went to restaurants himself and recommended them to us, just in case we got bored during the long travel time. He recommended great restaurants that had good reviews, which was a huge help to us since we hadn't really decided on a restaurant. Thank you. If any of my close friends are going to travel to Australia in the future, I think I'll definitely recommend this tour.

I traveled alone without a companion, but the time I spent with fellow Koreans and petted kangaroos and koalas that I had only seen on the internet was truly precious.

The Port Stephens tour was very informative and great! I was especially lucky to meet Director Gu Jeong-yeol and even the weather helped, so it was a very happy tour🩵 I was also able to see dolphins, which I was very thankful for. If you wait outside, you can spot them multiple times! The bibimbap for lunch was also really good. Koreans love rice! We were able to go sandboarding earlier than the other teams thanks to Director Gu Jeong-yeol's thorough planning, so we were able to ride comfortably when there were no people ㅎㅎ He also took great pictures, so I think it will be a great memory~~ He also provided water and snacks here and there... The best.. Lastly, we had a lot of time at the zoo and healed! Thank you~~~❤️🇦🇺

I did the tour with Director Gu Jeong-yeol, and first of all, the transportation bus was very large, new, and clean. I think the vehicle condition was important because the travel time was long ㅋㅋㅋ It rained a little bit, so I thought I wouldn't be able to see dolphins on the dolphin cruise, but I saw them really close up! The bibimbap we had for lunch was also good ^.^ It was the perfect menu to eat when you're feeling a little shaky after getting on the boat.. The timing for the sandboarding was perfect, so we were able to go when there weren't many people, and we had a lot of fun. They even brought raincoats in case it might rain ㅎㅎ Thank you for your thoughtful preparations for the itinerary.

perfect time with dolphin. we thought no dolphin at that date but finally we found them around the boat. so lovely they are🥳

I recently had the pleasure of taking this dolphin cruise at Port Stephens, and it was an unforgettable experience! The cruise started right on time, and getting there was a breeze thanks to convenient public transport options. The sunny day was perfectly balanced by a refreshing cold breeze, making the experience even more enjoyable. We were thrilled to spot a few dolphins during the cruise, and the highlight of the trip was undoubtedly the boom net. It was truly awesome! I would highly recommend this cruise to anyone looking for a fun and memorable experience. The staff were efficient, and the whole experience was well-organized. Don't miss out on this opportunity to get up close and personal with these incredible creatures!" 5/5 stars.
