3.From Sydney: Port Stephens Dolphin, Koalas, Lunch & Sandboarding

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 211 reviews · from $142Top rated

Travel from Sydney to Port Stephens with guides such as Alfie, Yan, Gordon, or Chen, then cruise for dolphins, visit a koala sanctuary, eat lunch, and ride a 4WD to Stockton sand dunes for sandboarding. Expect a long day, about six hours on the road, with plenty of variety.

“Initially I had booked this tour as a solo traveller, however one of my friends decided to join me and that was the best decision ever. The tour was clearly organised but not very social. Sandboarding was fun but not very memorable. The dolphin cruise however, was amazing! We saw so many dolphins! The wine tasting was delicious but felt a bit rushed. Of course this will differ with each group. The bus was alright, nothing special.”
