ps2This beautiful natural harbour, which covers an area more than four times that of Sydney Harbour, comprises the drowned valleys of the Karuah and Myall Rivers which enter the port on its northern shores. Steeped in history which we’ll relate to you, you’ll marvel at the scenic beauty surrounding you at Gan Gan Lookout, within Tomaree National Park, where on a clear day you can see forever.
Bottle-nose dolphins inhabit the Port and you’ll take a 1 1/2 hour dolphin watch aboard one of the many vessels that operate tours daily. Dolphin sightings are guaranteed and morning tea is included. Whale watch tours are optional in season at minimal extra cost.
Following a quality lunch, we’ll take you on a guided tour of the Tomaree Peninsula. As time permits, we’ll visit Shoal Bay and Fingal Bay, the Port Stephens Native Flora Garden, Nelson Head Inner Lighthouse (maritime history and scenery), or, you may care to take a swim at one of the quiet beaches inside the Port, or at one of the picturesque surf beaches of the ps1Pacific Ocean. On our way home we’ll detour to Lemon Tree Passage and take a short walk along the foreshore where we almost always find koalas in their natural habitat. We’ll also take a look at the quaint stone cottage known as Tanilba House.
