Review of the Port Stephens day trip from Sydney, with sandboarding, 4WD dunes, dolphin cruise or Mount Tomaree hike, and practical tips.

“We had a very enjoyable day, pick up was prompt, drive was comfortable and driver and tour guide James was second to none. He was professional, attentive and a pleasure to be around and a real credit to the company. He deserves a special mention as he was superb. We did the quad biking which was fantastic but were not told this had to be pre booked so this is a must. Port Stephens walk, led by james was spectacular.”

4.Blue Mountains Small-Group Tour Picnic & Hike

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 26 reviews · 9 hours · from $224

Review the Blue Mountains small-group tour from Sydney, with Calmsley Hill animals, scenic lookouts, picnic lunch, hike, and Botanic Gardens.

“Der deutsche Audio Guide war eine Zumutung. MP3 Player 1 Titel für die ganze Tour. Mann konnte aber nie was abspielen da der Fahrer und Englische Guide immer zu hören war. 1x falsch gedrückt andere Tour oder andere Sprache. Frühstück ein Keks und Kaffe. Picknick ein Sandwich, Apfel und Rührkucken. Jeder hat das Picknick da gemacht wo er Lust hatte. Nach der Wanderung keine Zeit zum Fotografieren. Botanischer Garten wegen Regen ausgefallen. Kaffee musste ich selbst bezahlen. Ein kleines Glas Sekt gab es untern Regenschauer zum Abschluss. Preis /Leistung stimmt überhaupt nicht.”
