Located just 2.5 hours north of Sydney, you'll embark on a marine discovery and sailing tour with snorkelling in Port Stephens, NSW. Enjoy the calm water of the bay and meet with the local resident Bottlenose Dolphins before cruising to one of the many offshore islands. Do some snorkelling at incredible spots including Lighthouse Cove on Fingal island and the Western side of Cabbage Tree Island. You'll anchor in the lea of the island, sheltered from the prevailing summer breeze, then the dive master will introduce you to a rich and ever-changing underwater world. There are a great many species of fish, sea urchins and soft corals and (occasionally) sea turtles to see. Then, the sail will be hoisted as you journey to witness some of the most scenic landscape along the NSW Coast. The volcanic islands and the headlands of Yaccaba and Tomaree are awesome sights from the water before sailing back to port to complete a fabulous experience.
