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

Quick snapshot of Port Stephens

Port Stephens is a coastal destination where Tours, Outdoor & sports activities and Indoor games dominate bookings, with Zoos & aquariums and Cruises also popular. Demand rises and falls through the year, hitting a clear busy period in May and much quieter months around October.

When to visit and what to expect on prices

Klook booking data shows May is the peak month for demand while October is the quietest. Prices generally drift through the year and Klook data indicates May is typically the priciest month while November is typically the cheapest; overall prices can be much higher in the peak. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds, consider travelling in October–November when demand and prices are reduced; for the peak-season atmosphere and the busiest activity options, aim for May when both interest and prices climb.

Tips for travellers from the Philippines

Most travellers book a few days ahead: Klook’s data suggests typical bookings are made about 3 days before activities, with last-minute options still available around 1 day out and early-booking available roughly 16 days ahead. For short Philippine trips you can be flexible and book popular tours or outdoor activities a few days before arrival, but lock in key experiences early in May if you plan to travel then.
