Port Stephens Beach & Dune with Sandboarding Tour

Begin your adventure by boarding a custom-designed air-conditioned 4WD vehicle and meeting your expert local tour guide. The journey kicks off with an exhilarating 5km round-trip drive along the shoreline of beautiful Birubi Beach. As you feel the cool ocean breeze and take in the panoramic coastal views, your driver provides fascinating live commentary about the local marine life, history, and ecosystem of the region.

The Famous Birubi Beach Pipi Wiggle Experience

Stop right at the water’s edge where the waves meet the firm wet sand. Here, you will take part in a unique local tradition—looking and wiggling for pipis in the sand. Learn the classic "pipi wiggle" technique from your guide, gently unearth these little shellfish to hold them in your hands for a quick photo opportunity, and then safely release them back into their natural habitat. It's a fun, interactive moment that visitors of all ages adore.

Sandboarding Down the Southern Hemisphere’s Largest Moving Dunes

Leave the beach behind as your 4WD vehicle climbs directly into the heart of the massive Stockton Sand Dunes within the Worimi Conservation Lands. These are the largest moving coastal sand dunes in the entire Southern Hemisphere. Once you reach the dedicated sandboarding zone, you'll receive a full safety briefing and specialized sandboards. Slide down pristine white dunes standing up to 30 meters high as many times as you like for an action-packed 45 to 50 minutes (or enjoy extended sliding time depending on your selected tour slot).
