Activity Code: GWAS101
Overview
Our adventure starts when we depart Newcastle, picking up various Port Stephens accommodation
It's a day of adventure starting with the area's newest attraction, an interactive aquarium where we get to hand feed sharks and rays. If that's not enough to get the heart pumping, then why not try a swim/snorkel with them or put on a pair of water-proof waders. (optional extra- $15 on the day).
Next it's off to the Stockton Sand Dunes, the largest coastal moving sand mass in the southern hemisphere (think Sahara by the Sea). A truly awesome sight. We enter the amazing moonscape terrain by 4 wheel drive bus and have the opportunity to sand surf down the huge sand hills. What a rush....so cool!
After all the excitement, it's time for a lunch break with a stop at one of the local cafe's where we can purchase some lunch. Now that we've wound down a little, we continue in the chill mode with a cruise around the blue water paradise to look for the resident bottle nose dolphins. Once we find them, it's time to get wet in the boom net and see how close they will come to us. A licenced bar is also on board.
Lunch is not included in the price. We do, however, have a lunch break for around 1 hour , where you have the opportunity to purchase some of the local goodness or consume your own .
