Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:
Port Stephens is approximately three hours away from Sydney, but it's well worth the drive, particularly if you're interested in swimming or kayaking with dolphins. Home to approximately 150 bottle nose dolphins, the area is informally known as Australia's "dolphin capital", but visitors who love animals can also take a whale watching tour, scuba dive with a grey shark nurse colony, or see a koala in the wild at the Tilligerry Habitat State Reserve. Other popular activities in the area include hiking up Mount Tomaree, sandboarding down the Stockton Bight Sand Dunes, and surfing at One Mile Beach. Port Stephens
