Itinerary

Meet your guide at Fly Point Dive Site in Nelson Bay, where you'll get fitted with your snorkelling gear and 3 or 5mm wetsuit before a quick safety briefing and introduction to the marine sanctuary. Then it’s time to get in! Fly Point has an easy shore entry, making it a great place for first-time snorkellers and those wanting a relaxed way to explore the underwater world. You'll spend around an hour in the water with your guide, exploring the sanctuary's sponge gardens and kelp-covered reef while searching for the marine life that calls Port Stephens home. Every tour is different — you might encounter giant blue gropers, rays, octopus, wobbegong sharks, schools of colourful fish, turtles or even a seahorse hiding amongst the reef. Your guide will point out interesting creatures along the way and share more about the sanctuary, its ecosystem and why this special part of Port Stephens is protected. Groups are kept small so there’s no need to rush. Whether you're new to snorkelling or already comfortable in the water, we'll explore at a pace that works for the group.
