Things to do in Nelson Bay

This is a review of my Port Stephens tour with guide Moses. During my week-long trip, I considered taking a day tour and chose Port Stephens over the Blue Mountains, mainly because I was looking forward to the desert. It was wonderful to not only experience the thrilling sandboarding in the desert but also to see, touch, and interact closely with koalas, kangaroos, wombats, and other animals at Oakvale Wildlife Park. I also enjoyed tasting three different wines at the winery and even bought a bottle as a souvenir, which I'm sure will bring back memories of my trip when I drink it back in Korea. Additionally, I had some free time in Nelson Bay, and even though it rained, meeting such kind people made me feel a renewed sense of humanity, leaving me with pleasant memories. And Moses, above all, is a photography master! He took some amazing photos of me in the desert that will likely be my KakaoTalk profile picture for a while. I highly recommend this Port Stephens tour for its great value, and Moses also shared a lot of useful information about Australia, which made the experience even more enriching. I paid for this myself and highly recommend it!

I was worried because I booked last minute, but it was a very satisfying package! Guide Young! Your explanations for each tour made it more informative, and I was truly touched by your passion for taking photos of each and every one of us in the desert. I'll be sure to recommend you to all my friends! We came for our honeymoon and are leaving with wonderful memories. 🩷

I took the Port Stephens tour with Zigzag Moses as my guide. We did an open run at Oakvale Wildlife Park in the morning, and it was great that they let us touch the cute koalas for free and took great photos. I actually took the same tour once when I was a student, and back then, you had to pay to touch the koalas. It was especially nice to be able to spend more time with the cute koalas for free. The Murray Winery tasting wine and lunch were also delicious. I went with my child, and I was grateful that the guide took care of my child's lunch separately with pizza and drinks. I had a very fulfilling free time in Nelson Bay, and at the last Port Stephens tour, he took amazing photos like a pro. It was a 100% satisfying trip.

Thanks to Jay's enthusiastic guidance, I had a really fun tour! The stories about Australia were interesting, and I was so grateful for the great recommendations from a local's perspective, such as souvenirs and must-eat foods. The animals were so cute, and the free time was great too! Highly recommend! 🫶🏻

Jay, it was amazing. The many tips and great explanations made my trip to Australia even richer. I really appreciate you planning the route to avoid overlapping with other tourists as much as possible, so I was able to travel in peace and quiet. And your sense of taking pictures was fantastic.

Departing from the Furama Hotel in Sydney city center is convenient for people who haven't rented a car and want to go to places further away. The koalas are cute and the sandboarding is fun.

Our tour guide, Alfie, was great that day. He spoke Chinese and English, creating a harmonious atmosphere for the group. The itinerary was pretty good, it's just a bit of a shame we didn't see many dolphins.
