Sand Dune Adventures - Quad Bike Tours


Live the adventure that promises you a Quad Riding experience like no other with Sand Dune Adventures. Experience the magnificence of the Worimi Sand Dunes on

Stockton Beach, riding safely from bush to beach with our expert guides.  30 minute quad bike ride, 30 minutes sand boarding to take in the wonders of the highest sand dunes in the southern hemisphere, the glorious views of the sweeping coastline and learn about history of the land.

NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY

We provide 1 Guide per 5 people so most groups have two guides, one out the front leading you around and one as a tail end to make sure no one gets left behind.   You leave our staging area and ride over our maintained tracks through coastal grassland and scrub to get to the dunes. The guide will then take you over more and more challenging sand dunes, up and down. The large sand dunes can be from 40-100 feet high.

All of the Sand Dune Adventures Quad Bike tours are tailored to meet the needs and experience of the customers. So if it is flat out or cruising we have the adventure for you. . No licence is required. We are the only tour company that has access to the highest sand dunes on Stockton Beach.

All quad bike tours are conducted in a tag-a-long (single file) format, with each rider instructed to leave a safe distance (5-10m) between themselves and the bike in front.

Clients are instructed to stay in the riding line (tracks) of the person in front of them and not to veer off on their own track or ride erratically (no overtaking and no side by side riding).

Clear and simple hand signals are demonstrated and provided by the lead guide. Clients are provided with a riding helmet and hi-Vis safety vest.

Child policy: Children 4 to 17 years may participate on any tour with written parental consent. Children under the age of 12 years (4-11) may travel as a pillion passenger on the guide’s bike or 7-11 years may ride a 90cc Quad bike.

Open every day except Xmas & New Year’s day

Booking

We encourage people to book on their preferred day so you know exactly what day and time you have to be here.  If you would like to book on one of our tours please contact us by phone or email,  secure your booking via credit card over the phone or you can also book via our website www.sandduneadventures.com.au


What to Wear & Bring

SDA recommends our customers come prepared for their tour in:
  • Closed in shoes (no thongs or sandals) – as we traverse through a bush track then onto the sand dune we would not like a stick or something else coming up and accidentally cutting your foot or leg
  • Long pants – the motor can get very hot and would protect your leg from getting burnt
  • Sunglasses – Stockton beach has white sand and can get very glary on your eyes as you are riding along.
  • Sunscreen – We would not like you to get sunburnt.
  • Camera – Great shots on the sand dunes the tour guides will stop onto of one of the highest dunes and take your picture for you
  • A spirit for fun and adventure
  • Dress warmer for winter months.
  • We still go in the rain so please bring wet weather gear or change of clothes if there is a possibility of it raining.


Cancellation Policy

Sand Dune Adventures reserve the right to reschedule bookings due to unsuitable weather conditions or any other unforeseen situation that may arise. If quad biking is cancelled due to unsuitable weather, the customer ticket can be changed to an open dated ticket valid for 12 months. SDA are happy to try and change your tour time if your
running late. A FULL 24 hours notice that you cannot make it.... BUT, there's not much we can do for people who simply change their mind at the last minute, sorry.... NO REFUND for a NO SHOW!


Dolphin Swim Australia  – Dolphin Swim & Cruise


DSA’s swims take place just 2.5 hours north of Sydney in the beautiful district of Port Stephens. DSA specialises in creating unforgettable interactions between its swimmers and the playful Short-Beaked Common or Oceanic Bottlenose Dolphins of the Port Stephens-Great Lakes Marine Park. This is the only permitted wild dolphin swim in NSW and the first and only wild dolphin swim of its kind in the world.

DSA will take you offshore into the open ocean aboard a beautiful 52ft oceanic catamaran. From there, you will witness a spectacular sunrise and enjoy a light breakfast while being surrounded by the diverse wildlife of the Port Stephens-Great Lakes Marine Park.

DSA’s expert team will provide you with detailed training and appropriate safety gear while remaining on the lookout for our dolphin friends. The staff of Dolphin Swim Australia are all extremely passionate about the protection and conservation of dolphins. Lucky for us, the dolphins of Port Stephens love to play!

Once a dolphin pod approaches the vessel, our swimmers enter the water and are slowly pulled along while being attached to a rope at the bow of the boat. The dolphins, who are extremely curious, crisscross at the bow of the boat and approach quite closely so they can people-watch! What is really unique about this experience is how up close and personal it is - the swimmers really become a part of the pod!



What to Wear & Bring

The price includes a light breakfast (for both Swimmers and Observers) and mask, snorkel, marine vest and wetsuit hire (for Swimmers), plus a 4 hour cruise.

ClothingWear or bring 2 or 3 layers of clothing, including a warm jacket (regardless of the weather), as it can become quite cold while travelling on the ocean. Please be wearing your swimsuit under your clothes when you arrive at the boat, ready to be fitted for your wetsuit.

Wetsuits: The swim price also includes hire of a 3mm wetsuit, mask, snorkel and a marine vest. All wetsuits are provided and fitted once you arrive at the vessel.

Seasickness: This is an open water experience with wind and waves playing a part in vessel movement.  Operators cannot be held accountable for seasickness! Travacalm is supplied on the vessel free of charge however, if you suffer from motion sickness, please consider taking such medication before bed for a couple of days prior to your swim, as well as when you arrive on board. This can often produce a better result.
