The beach and dune tour is designed to give customers a taste of Australia’s amazing beaches, walking along and feeling the sand between your toes. This backdrop allows for amazing photos and your guides will give a brief commentary about the beach, and show you the local Pipis, and how to wiggle and find them.

After the beach component, drive up into the dunes for an unlimited Sandboarding Adventure on the largest moving coastal sand mass in the Southern Hemisphere.

From dunes to deep blue, discover Port Stephens like never before.
With our Dolphin + Sandboarding package, you will combine two of the region’s greatest draws, wildlife cruises and epic dune adventures, into one unforgettable day.

Glide across the calm blue waters of Port Stephens aboard our dolphin-watching cruise, guided by expert commentary and immersive viewing. You’ll likely see the region’s resident bottlenose dolphins in their natural habitat — and in warmer months, even hop into the boom net for a closer splash moment.

After your marine adventure, the land call beckons. We head inland via 4WD into the towering Stockton Bight Sand Dunes in the Worimi Conservation Lands. Our guides walk you through safe techniques and help you sandboard down slopes that shift and change with the wind. Expect multiple runs, plenty of laughs, and epic views across the dunes meeting the sea. This journey marries wildlife and wilderness. It’s ideal for families, couples or solo travellers seeking a relaxed yet active experience.

Experience two of Port Stephens’ most memorable activities in one easy package. Start with a 4WD journey across the Worimi Sand Dunes, where you can take in the vast coastal landscape and enjoy sandboarding at your own pace. It is a fun and accessible way to experience one of the area’s most unique natural settings.

Then head out on the water with Moonshadow-TQC Cruises for a whale watching adventure, where you may see migrating humpback whales along with dolphins and other marine life during the season. With informative commentary and spectacular ocean views, this package offers a relaxed mix of land and sea experiences, making it ideal for couples, families, and visitors wanting to make the most of their time in Port Stephens.
