About this guide

PortStephensTours.com is an independent guide to visiting Port Stephens on the New South Wales coast: the dolphin and whale cruises from Nelson Bay, the sandboarding, 4WD and quad bike tours on the Stockton dunes, the Koala Sanctuary, and the day trips from Sydney. We are not a tour operator, a cruise company, a tourism office or GetYourGuide. The site name describes what we write about; it is not the name of any tour or company, including the operators that sell "Port Stephens tours" under similar names.

Facts here are checked against primary sources (NSW National Parks, the Port Stephens Koala Sanctuary, Port Stephens Coaches, the cruise operators' own websites, the Australian Bureau of Statistics) and against the tour listings on GetYourGuide, including recent guest reviews. Prices, timetables and ratings change; when a listing and this page disagree, the listing at checkout wins.

The site is funded by affiliate commissions: when you book through a GetYourGuide link here, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Our editors pick the tours on what suits which visitor, and every page says where a tour starts and how long you really spend in Port Stephens. Details on the affiliate disclosure page.
