Nelson Bay Dolphin Watching Cruise

Experience the best Port Stephens has to offer on this 1.5 hour dolphin sailing cruise with an exciting boom netting experience in Nelson Bay. The region is home to a population of over 100 local bottlenose dolphins and on this sailing cruise you’ll enjoy 360 degree views aboard the spacious 52 foot sailing catamaran, ‘Imagine’.
