Wonderful Port Stephens Guide

Our guide James is friendly and approachable. He's patient and managed to bring us to our attractions despite tight deadlines because of unforeseen delays. We had fun with the camel and watching the dolphins is truly mesmerizing. We even went to Newcastle which is impressive. Kudos to Mike and James for the great arrangements.☺️

Port stephens complete experience!

We had the most beautiful experience at Port stephens. The camel ride was such an incredible experience with the sand dunes,cool breeze and the ocean. Totally a phenomenal experience of acing all three elements that make it absolutey incredible!! The sandboarding was really amazing and we had all big smiles our face. Mike,the owner of Gobeyondtours is an amazing person to know and to have as a tour guide. We were short of time from the camel ride to the port stephens dolphin cruise. He spot on drove quickly and carefully and we made it just on time. The dolphin cruise is a super thumbs up and is a sure guarantee to see dolphins out of your ying yang!

A lovey day with a great great guide.

This was a wonderful day trip. Mike, the owner-driver was extremely warm and helpful. He managed to get close to out hotel to pick us up, despite the street’s being closed for the Marathon. We wee pleasantly surprised to have a private tour, even though it was not advertised as such. We spent the day at our pace. We chose to do the Reptile Park and had a great visit, which included a chance to pet a koala. In Port Stephens, we chose not to do the whale watch as my wife gets very seasick, so we spent the afternoon going from one gorgeous site to another.

Whale watching and dolphins cruise and beautiful view points

This was a fantastic day at Port Stephens. The long hour drive was worth it. Lu was our driver cum guide who picked us up from our hotel and took us to some of the beautiful viewpoints. The first part of the day was a bit rainy and windy due to which we could not go on sand boarding but were able to savor nice views of the sand dunes and the beach. The second half of the day was pretty sunny when we boarded our cruise to see the whales. Being the migration season we were lucky to see quite a number of whales jump out of the water and swim along with our ship. It was an awesome experience. We were also able to spot some seals on the rocky islands. Many dolphins accompanied us on our way back during sunset. Overall this was such a fulfilling experience.

Dolphin Cruise and Sand Boarding

We had a great experience. The dolphin cruise did not disappoint, and sand boarding was even better than expected. Mike is a very nice and knowledgeable tour guide.
