Day 3

Travelling is about living for the moment and seizing the day. Nothing says that like SUNRISE! We’ve got the best spot for you to see the daybreak.

Following that you’ll be saying goodbye to the mountain landscape and this part of the world, it’s time to head to the incredible Port Stephens.

Once there you can relax in the hostel pool or at the beach. Don’t forget to take a bodyboard from the hostel, they’re free!

Day 4

This place is a hidden gem that’s not so well known by your every day backpacker. It has world class beaches, friendly locals and great vibes.

You can top up the tan or try something new with sea kayaking, paddleboarding and sandboarding all being options.

When your friends see your Instagram they’ll be asking how come they hadn’t heard of this amazing place!

This can be as relaxed as you want it to be. You might fit in some activities you missed out the day before or do some beach hopping on the way back.

Then it’s time to drive back to Sydney to reminisce about the best two weeks ever. You and your crew might even want to join the bar crawl again and meet this week’s Welcome to Sydney group for one last big Sydney night as a family.
