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

Quick snapshot of Newcastle and what to expect

Newcastle is a compact destination where tours, indoor games and outdoor & sports activities dominate bookings, so visitors often split time between guided experiences and active pursuits. Demand rises and falls through the year, with clear months where the city feels busiest and quieter according to Klook booking patterns.

Best times to visit for price and crowds

Klook data show the busiest months are July and August, while demand dips in January and February. Prices trend up toward the peak season and drift lower through the quieter months; overall, higher demand generally coincides with higher prices on months present in the data. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds, consider travelling in January or February; for a lively, peak-season atmosphere, aim for July or August.

Tips for travellers from Hong Kong

Most travellers from Hong Kong typically finalise bookings about one day before travel, with many securing plans a few days earlier, so Newcastle suits spontaneous trips but benefits from a little advance planning. For travel in the peak months named above, locking in popular tours a few days ahead can help guarantee availability; for quieter months you can often book closer to departure. Use Klook to compare available tours and activities and pick options that match your flexibility and schedule.
