Fantastic 5.0
This is a review of the tour with our guide, Moses! We started very early in the morning, so I was quite tired, but after a brief tour preview, Moses drove safely, and I was able to comfortably sleep all the way to our destination. At the first zoo, since we were a group, we could pet the koalas for free. We also received one portion of food per person, and there was so much that I couldn't even give half of it away. It was wonderful to be able to freely pet and feed the kangaroos, as they were in an open-range enclosure. During the winery tour, we got to taste delicious wines. For adults, they provided chicken burgers, and for the children, they arranged a customized meal of pizza and juice. Since the weather was excellent, the dolphin tour was also very satisfying. We were lucky enough to see dolphins swimming alongside our yacht for about 10 minutes, right next to us. For the final activity, sandboarding, I was quite tired and only managed to go down four times, but it was still very enjoyable. Before each tour, Moses explained the precautions and provided helpful tips. During the remaining travel time, he also shared information about Sydney tours, history, gift shops for independent travelers, and recommended restaurants. If I were to take another tour on a different day, I would love to do it with Moses again. Thanks to this trip, I was very happy! I took many photos, but it's a shame there's a limit to how many I can attach.

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.

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

Clear instructions given for you to locate their pick-up point. It is easy, fun and safe to sandboard. You can play as many times as long you have the energy to climb up the sand slope. The sand is very fine and doesn't hurt your skin.

What to know before visiting Port Stephens

Port Stephens at a glance

Port Stephens is a coastal destination with bookings dominated by Tours and Outdoor & sports activities, with steady interest year-round and clear seasonal peaks. Klook data shows the busiest period arrives in May while demand eases into October, reflecting a year that favours outdoor experiences and wildlife-minded activities.

Best months to visit and price trends

Klook booking data indicates demand peaks in May and hits a trough in October. Prices move unevenly through the year: past Klook pricing was highest in February and lowest in January, and several months around late summer and early autumn show lower-than-average rates. If you want smaller crowds and generally lower prices, consider travelling in October or the quieter late-winter months; if you prefer the peak-season atmosphere and the busiest activity options, aim for May. Note that price and demand don’t always move together here—the priciest month by bookings is not the same as the priciest month by price, so check both when planning.

Tips for travellers from Malaysia

Most travellers book activities for Port Stephens only a few days ahead: typical bookings were made about three days in advance, with many last-minute options available a day before. If your trip is short and flexible, you can comfortably plan on short notice; if you travel in May or other busy months, consider booking key Tours and outdoor activities up to a couple of weeks earlier to secure preferred times. Use Klook to compare available options and lock in experiences that suit your schedule.
