Awesome experience at Port Stephens, Steve and Jonathan were awesome guide and kept us engaged throughout the tour

Chris is wonderful

Jing_M, Dec 2022

Chris, our guide is wonderful. He is very knowledgeable and attentive. Sandboarding is the best part. Kids had so much fun. The trip is private and tailored to our needs. so we don’t have to travel with large groups. thank you

Response from Host, Dec 2022

Hi Jing Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review about your private Port Stephens dolphin watching and sandboarding experience. Chris is certainly a great guide and he loved showing you a great time at Port Stephens! We hope you enjoy the rest of your stay in Australia! Cheers, Steve Arnerich Owner, Runaway Tours
