Explore the full itinerary for Port Stephens Day Trip from Sydney in Sydney, Australia. This full-day tours experience includes 3 stops over 1 day. Duration: 12 hours. Activity level: Moderate.

Welcome to the largest moving sand dunes in the Southern Hemisphere! Feel the thrill of a 4WD sand safari followed by the heart-acing fun of sandboarding down golden slopes. An adventure you won’t forget! Prefer to keep it chill? Soak in the otherworldly beauty of the dunes and capture some incredible photos.

Next, we visit Nelson Bay, the heart of Port Stephens. This picturesque coastal town is perfect for lunch, offering a variety of dining options from fast food to local cafes (at your own expense).

After lunch, it’s time to lace up for a guided hike up Mount Tomaree (25 - 30 minutes walk each way). The panoramic views from the top are nothing short of spectacular, think sweeping ocean vistas, rugged headlands, and maybe even a pod of dolphins playing in the distance. Don’t forget your camera!
