The local take of Port Stephens

Come “do” Port Stephens — not just “see” it.

We build tours the way locals actually spend their days here: less checklist, more Birubi sunsets, hidden coffee shops, and the beach walk and activities nobody puts on a brochure.

If you only have time for three things

01  Sunset at Birubi Beach

02  Walk, swim, snorkel, surf, fish — do them all

03  Vibey coffee shops, bay views, quiet walks

Where we roam

A quick lay of the land — from Newcastle up through Port Stephens and Tea Gardens, all within a short drive of each other.

Our philosophy

The charcuterie board of touring

We've travelled enough of the world to know the best days aren't built from a fixed itinerary — they're built from a range of the best local knowledge, where you choose what you want, and how much of it.

01

Built around your group

Kids or adults, all-in activity or slow and easy, foodies or cocktail people, big group or small — often both. We mix a board to match, whatever your tour size.

02

Flexed to the day

Tides, weather, and sunset times shift constantly here — so our tours adapt on the day to get you the best of it.

03

Fully looked after

Chairs, water, food and nibbles, and clean-up, sorted. Food planned around what you're doing and where — beach, distillery, or on the run.

How it works

Tell us five things. We'll do the rest.

01

Pick-up and drop-off

Sydney, Newcastle, anywhere in Port Stephens, or anywhere else — just ask.

02

Group size

Solo traveller through to a group of 20.

03

How long you've got

Half day up to multi-day trips.

04

Areas you want to see

Port Stephens, Newcastle, Hunter Valley, and beyond.

05

What you want to do

Adrenaline, food, drinks, nature, or all of it.

About us

We travel like locals, everywhere we go

We've travelled all over the world, and one thing we've learned is that the best trips aren't built around the "normal" touristy checklist — they're built around what locals actually do, eat, and love. So we do the classics too — sandboarding, whale watching, ATV, camel rides — but that's just the start of what Port Stephens has to offer.

Every group is different, so we don't hand out a fixed script. We build you a board, and you choose what you want, and how much of it.

"You'll go home tired, relaxed, and content — knowing you've done Port Stephens, not just seen it."
