Fantastic 5.0
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

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! ✌️

I went on the Unlimited Australia Tour and the Nelson Bay Port Stephens Oakvale Wildlife Park Tour~ I really liked the relaxing atmosphere and local feel of Nelson Bay, and above all, the breathtaking natural scenery and fine sand of Port Stephens, and they took great pictures, so it was really fun. The animals at the zoo were so cute that I lost track of time! Take a look at the koala photos, I could even touch them.
