What to know
Port Stephens is a stretch of coast around Nelson Bay, not a gated attraction, so there is no admission fee and the beaches, headlands and Stockton dunes cost nothing to visit. What you actually pay for is the activities. Moonshadow-TQC, the main operator at d'Albora Marina in Nelson Bay, charges A$46 per adult and A$28 per child aged 4 to 14 for its 1.5-hour Dolphin Discovery cruise, with a family of four at A$120 and infants under 4 at A$8; its 2.5-hour whale-watching season cruise is A$85 per adult. On the dunes, Sand Dune Adventures at Williamtown charges from A$119 for a one-hour quad bike tour. Budget roughly A$50 to A$120 a head for one headline activity.
