★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 64 reviews · 12 hours · from $90Our pick

Leave Sydney Central early for a 4WD ride and sandboarding at Anna Bay, lunch time in Nelson Bay, then choose a dolphin cruise or guided Mount Tomaree hike. Guides including James, Mac, Aurelio, Carol, Maikel, and Stefan have been praised for friendly help, photos, and flexible support.

“We had a very enjoyable day, pick up was prompt, drive was comfortable and driver and tour guide James was second to none. He was professional, attentive and a pleasure to be around and a real credit to the company. He deserves a special mention as he was superb. We did the quad biking which was fantastic but were not told this had to be pre booked so this is a must. Port Stephens walk, led by james was spectacular.”
