20130106 to Port Stephens

I've been in Sydney for 4 months long and finally decided to visit port stephens at this sunny Sunday. We booked the seats of the bus to port stephens from Dragon Tour and it costs only 20AUD/person and you  have four activities to choose 1. Reptile Zoo 25AUD, 2. Winte Taste (Murray's Brewery, nice one, with restaurant) 5AUD for servicing 3. Sandboarding 26AUD one hour 4. Dolphin Watch+lunch 45AUD. We chose to only go for the Dolphin boat cuz the total cost is expensive to us 126AU/person and it's a better option because we spend only 20AUD/person for return bus, although the drive/tour guide must profit from the activities you participate, you still have free will to choose from. The disadvantage of the tour is that you don't really have much time to look around the port, beaches and the places around it and our choice do give us more time than the rest tour member to enjoy the surroundings. We even have time to make fun of the camels when the rest go to ride the sand. As for dolphins, we saw them from a very far distance from boat, a shame, but I learned that the dolphins are actually a social mammals in nature, it's not rare for dolphins to choose to swim close to boats. In all, port stephen is definitely a worth going place in north Sydney and I'd like to visit Central Coast if any chance.
