Spend a full day in Port Stephens on this guided coach tour from Sydney. Your day starts in a luxury air-conditioned coach that passes the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House before heading north through the Hawkesbury River region, with a brief stop for coffee along the way. In Nelson Bay you board the Moonshadow-TQC cruise for a 90-minute dolphin-watching trip on the waters of Port Stephens, with commentary on board and the option to swim in the boom net, weather permitting. After the cruise there is time to have lunch at a waterfront café at your own cost or to take a seaside walk. In the afternoon the tour visits the Stockton Bight sand dunes, the largest moving sand dunes in the Southern Hemisphere, where you take a 4WD ride across the sand and try unlimited sandboarding. An English-speaking driver-guide looks after the group all day, and snacks and water are provided. The tour lasts about 12 hours and returns to Sydney by 19:00, with drop-off at Central Station or Furama Darling Harbour.
