Started well with a 3 hours journey reaching Anna Bay. Good we have a stop at 1 and half mark. Sand boarding is fun for young people and the 4WD is probably very or too tame! No excitement Bus broke down and we had to eat our lunch at Anna Bay instead of Nelson Bay. The dolphin cruise was … honestly bland and boring. The journey back to Sydney was a horrid ride. The replacement bus was Hot and super bumpy. Every bump on the road is felt thoroughly throughout the whole 3hours home. Our back and backside was in pain….. not a fun day

The guide was rude, we left late due to a fellow passenger arriving late. This tour is for families and people who are less active. We spent 30 minutes at a dirty service station. The guide argued with two of us who booked the hike over the Dolphin cruise. It appeared he did not care to take us to the hike. The tour is not a good representation of the area of Australia, is very touristy and overall not worth it. Worst tour I’ve taken via Viator

Our guide was amazing on this tour. Aurelio gave us plenty of time and great tips for each portion of the tour. I highly recommend this itinerary for anyone that wants to try something unique outside of the Sydney metro area.
