Join an exhilarating dolphin watching cruiseBoard a boat in Nelson Bay and venture out to the Pacific Ocean for some dolphin watching! The marine-life-rich waters around the NSW coastline are the perfect playground for bottlenose dolphins, and you'll get to observe these adorable creatures up close as they glide through the waves. Sip on a complimentary tea or coffee as you hang out on the spacious decks and admire the marine life. In the winter months you may even spot whales as they migrate along the East Coast! You can also get in the water for an up-close experience as there is a boom net attached to the boat. |

Sandboarding on the Stockton Sand DunesAfter your boat trip, head back to land and jump in a hefty 4WD truck. The vehicle will transport you over to the Stockton Sand Dunes which are the largest moving coastal dunes in the Southern Hemisphere! Upon arriving at Stockton Beach in Anna Bay, your guides will teach you how to sandboard on the mountainous golden dunes. Spend some time admiring the vast rippling sand dunes and have a blast as you speed down them on a sandboard! |
