Marvel at the annual whale migration at one of the East Coast’s best spots for whale watching, then try sandboarding at Stockton Sand Dunes!
Between June and October each year, this Port Stephens whale watching tour leaves Sydney and heads up the coast to Port Stephens to see whales as they pass by close to the coast.
You’ll take in some of the iconic sites of Sydney on the road trip to Port Stephens (including driving over the famous Sydney Harbour Bridge), and stop for lunch (at your own expense) at Nelson Bay. Then it’s onto the main event – seeing majestic humpback whales in their natural habitat.
After your whale watching cruise, you’ll jump in a big 4WD for more excitement – sandboarding! Take a deep breath and fly down huge sand dunes on a specially designed board.
Whale watching in Port Stephens is easily one of our favourite day trips from Sydney – if you’re there at the right time of year, this is one you won’t want to miss!
