For those who like the faster side of
life why not hire a jet ski for a few hours. Alternatively
take the relaxing, but still fun, option of hiring a water
bike. Nelson Bay offers everything for every age and taste
of visitor to the area.

Bay from farmstay and villa accommodation to bed and breakfasts, hotels and apartments.
Well known for the many Bottlenose dolphins that live around the Port, Dolphin Spotting is an extremely popular passtime for visitors. Then there are Whales. Approximately 3000 Humpback Whales pass close to the coast of Port Stephens whilst migrating to the warm tropical waters from late May to July each year.
September to November offers even more excitement when the Whales can be viewed returning to the Antarctic with their calves.
