Start the day with a convenient pickup from your nominated address in Sydney. You'll then head up the coast to start the 3-hour journey. En route to Port Stephens, you'll stop at the Walkabout Wildlife Park, where you can get up close and personal with Aussie wildlife.  Upon arrival in Port Stephens, your guide will recommend great places to eat, scenic viewpoints, and shopping options depending on your preference with your free time. Get a feel for what makes this location so special to the locals.  After your free time, you'll get the chance to experience Port Stephens from a whole different angle. Board a dolphin-watching cruise, where you'll get the chance to see them up close and personal, sometimes even playing with the boat. The region is home to over 150 playful bottlenose dolphins, so chances of seeing these marine friends are high. You will have the opportunity to swim in the boom net attached to the boat, so make sure to bring your swimsuit and a towel.  Next, continue to Stockton Beach, home to massive sand dunes that you can drive over. Jump in the 4WD vehicle and cruise over the dunes. You'll even have the chance to get out and surf down the dunes using sandboards. You'll then head back to Sydney after a memorable day at the coast.
