What To Expect

1

Take a short but exhilarating walk to the summit of Mount Tomaree, towering 161m above the entrance of Port Stephens. Be prepared to be mesmerized by unparalleled views of the stunning coastline. From the summit, feast your eyes on the vistas of Yacaaba Head, Cabbage Tree, Boondelbah, and Broughton Islands from the north platform. As you absorb scenery, marvel at the fact that these nature reserves are the exclusive nesting grounds for the endangered Gould's petrel. Switching to the south platform, be astounded by the majestic views of Zenith, Wreck, and Box Beaches, along with the iconic Fingal Island and Point Stephens Lighthouse. These sights are sure to leave a lasting impression on your journey. The Tomaree Head Summit walk not only offers a rewarding and challenging hike, but also presents you with picturesque ocean views that stretch across Port Stephens and beyond. Please note this hike can be a little challenging, there is an alternate flatter option available.

    Keira was an amazing and professional host on our tour from Newcastle to Port Stephens! Her passion and genuine enthusiasm for sharing her knowledge made our journey truly memorable. Keira's wealth of information about the area and personal touch added so much to the tour. The day trip was well-organized, covering all the spots on the itinerary, and we had plenty of time to enjoy each location. I highly recommend this tour.

    I highly recommend Keira and Newy Tours. I did a day tour to Port Stephens with my Jake watching. Everything was very well organised. Picked up and dropped off on time. Great company and good friendly chats. Keira loads of great ideas for new tours and I would totally book in again. Very keen to find out about the new projects. Best of luck Keira.
