4.4/5

Port Stephens, located in the north of Sydney, South Wales, Australia, is known as the "Blue Water Paradise", integrating fishing, whale watching, rowing, sandboarding, flying, and outdoor barbecues. It is about two and a half hours' drive from Sydney, and it is very convenient to come by car. 1. Dolphin and whale watching Dolphins and whales are the biggest highlights of Port Stephens. There are more than 90-120 bottlenose dolphins living here all year round. You can take a dolphin-watching cruise, dolphins will jump out of the water to greet you, and you can lean on the rails and play with them. Port Stephens is also a suitable home for thousands of whales. Every year from the end of May to the beginning of November, swarms of humpback whales will come and go here. They are huge, some weighing more than 40 tons. Take a seasonal whale watching cruise to see their adorable naivety! Fisherman's Bay and Anna Bay in the south are good whale and dolphin watching spots. 2. Port Attractions There are many viewing points in the port, and you can climb up and overlook any one of them, and have a panoramic view of the coastal scenery. The lighthouse in Nelson Point at the entrance of Port Stephens is still in play. The lighthouse is currently open to the public. There is a renovated small museum under the tower, as well as restaurants and canteens. Just a few minutes walk to the Flying Point Marine Conservation Area, overlooking the stretch of coastline. 3. Port Stephens Port Stephens has a vast sandy land with soft sand, making it a famous sandboarding paradise in the southern hemisphere! As far as the eye can see, the west of Anna Bay is a few kilometers of sand dunes, which are larger in the southern hemisphere. You can sign up for sandboarding, or you can take a quad bike or four-wheel drive to explore the Stockton Dunes.Campvale · 22.9 km from Anna Bay

Anna Bay is a scenic spot with half sea and half beach, so you can play sandboarding here. It is to take a skateboard and control it by hand to slide down the sloping sand slope. It is controlled by hand, which is definitely a handbrake! It is a bit scary, but it is actually very fun and not dangerous at all. It is just that you have to climb to the top of the sand slope every time you slide, which is a bit tiring. The main problem is that the beach is not covered at all. If you encounter very hot weather, you will feel like you will be sunburned.

I came here for the second time. Every experience is great. My two-year-old baby also likes it very much. He can ride a tractor and feed the lambs. The animals are very interactive. The staff are also very friendly. I took my baby to stay from opening to closing and was reluctant to leave.

Awesome place. My kids enjoyed it so much and learned so much about sharks, rays and stingrays. The staff were very friendly and passionate. Thank you for the great experience!

Port Stephen has unscrupulous blue sea and blue sky, and a fresh environment. Come to Port Stephen, intoxicated with the relaxing outdoor environment, feel comfortable and comfortable leisurely holiday, and return to the embrace of nature.

Poor overall experience. My mother ended up in the hospital with torn ligaments that she still has not recovered from. Staff was rude to my children. Left injured and let down. Dangerous and poorly staffed.
