Things to do in Nelson Bay

had the best time going on this cruise, it was such an experience, saw so many dolphins. I would totally do it again 🥰

It was a wonderful experience sitting by the beach and gazing at the stars in Jervis Bay. Our guides made sure we were kept nice and warm and provided blankets and mats for us to lie on and watch the stars. Dimitri has a PhD in Astronomy and definitely knows his stuff. He not only pointed out planets and constellations to us, he explained how stars are born, how to tell the ages of the stars, and even about the various cultural interpretations of the night sky. I learned alot during the session and would highly recommend it! There is a telescope set up and also binoculars so we can view objects in the night sky in greater detail. We saw Jupiter and the moon and some other clusters of stars, and even the milky way (although it was rather faint)! If the moon wasn't out, it would have been better for stars. But still thoroughly enjoyed every single moment of it.

I liked that we were a small group of 7 in the tour and pacing was just about right. Travel time from Sydney to Port Stephens is 3-4hrs. Be prepared to to spend most of your time on the road. The driver/guide was good. and we also had a Japanese guide. Water and lunch are already included. Overall, was fun experience

I was debating which Port Stephens tour to take, but I ended up booking the "Healing" tour with Daehan Travel Agency, and it was such a wonderful experience. It was my first time seeing a desert, and it felt so mystical. I even went sandboarding six times! It was incredibly fun. Our guide was fantastic, explaining various stories in great detail and providing excellent guidance, which made the trip go smoothly. They also took some amazing photos for me, so I got some great shots for my life album, haha. I highly recommend this tour to anyone considering a Port Stephens trip. If you're coming to the desert, I suggest wearing sandals; the sand just falls right off without you having to brush it away.

Our tour guide and driver, Gordon, was incredibly professional. Along the way, he introduced us to the architecture of the cities we passed through and provided fascinating geographical and historical explanations about the areas we visited. His driving was very smooth, and he was always punctual. The tour itself was also very enjoyable. I brought my family along to experience dolphin watching (we succeeded!), and we all had a blast sandboarding. Everyone loved it, highly recommended! ✌️

We are having a wonderful tour with Eric the guide!! We joined as a family trip with two elementary school boys, and the guide ran the tour very thoughtfully, shared lots of entertaining stories, and greeted us brightly throughout, making our trip such a pleasant experience. Perhaps because of that, the weather, which was supposed to rain, turned out to be great. The brunch at Nelson Bay was wonderful, and the sandboarding that the kids were eagerly waiting for was also fantastic. The zoo will probably be great too haha. My older son went sandboarding 10 times, that's amazing~~ It's my first time seeing someone guide while driving, it's impressive, thank you!! Leaving with such a great first experience in Sydney~~!

The Port Stephens 1-day tour with Guide Moses was incredibly fun! The weather was great, and the time management was perfect, making for a very fulfilling tour experience. 😁😁 We entered Oakvale Wildlife Park right at opening, which allowed us to interact more closely with the animals. The kids absolutely loved being able to touch and feed the free-roaming animals up close. 👍👍 The wine tasting, along with the burger and pizza lunch, was delicious and the atmosphere was lovely. 🤩🤩 The dolphin watching cruise was also fantastic. Just when we thought we might not see any, we encountered a large pod of dolphins, and I took many videos. Our guide recommended the best spot for viewing, which was amazing. 😃😃 And finally, sandboarding at Port Stephens was truly, truly fun. 😎😎 Throughout the trip, our guide shared a lot of useful information and Sydney travel tips. Guide Moses also ensured a relaxed and uncrowded tour experience by selecting the perfect itinerary and managing time effectively according to the weather. We made lasting memories. I highly recommend the Port Stephens tour!
