Post Cruise Port Stephens Dolphin Watching and Scenic Drive from Sydney

Escape the bustling city of Sydney for a refreshing day trip to the enchanted Port Stephens, just a few hours away. Dive into a picture-perfect slice of Australian paradise, showcasing 26 pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and rich national parks!

This Port Stephens tour is a perfect haven for water enthusiasts out there. Hopping off your cruise ship at Sydney port, you'll be transported to a world of tranquility, where you can watch playful dolphins frolicking in the azure waves. Be part of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to board an exhilarating dolphin-spotting boat, keeping a watchful eye for the 150 bottle-nose dolphins that call these clear waters home. Even better, during the summer months, you can get unrivaled close-ups of these magnificent creatures from the boom net attached to the boat’s rear.

Traveling between May and November? Unlock the chance to witness the regal spectacle of thousands of Humpback and Minke Whales undertaking their annual migration, onboard a thrilling whale watching cruise.

After your sea-based escapades, dock at the Marina and opt for a sumptuous sit-down lunch at a restaurant boasting elevated water views (not included in the tour price). A sightseeing drive takes you around the picturesque sights of Port Stephens, culminating at a mountain lookout offering a sweeping 240-degree waterways view, which, believe it or not, is double the size of Sydney Harbour!

As your action-packed day draws to a close, we'll journey back to Sydney, the city's sparkling lights guiding our way. After a day-long Port Stephens tour filled with excitement and tranquillity, we'll safely drop you off at your accommodation, ready for your next adventure.
