Their comfortable cruise boats take locals and tourists whale watching, dolphin watching, on sunset dinner cruises, to local islands and more.

3/ Quad Bike King is a popular tourist attraction in the region as they offer thrilling quad bike tours through the Stockton Sand Dunes and Worimi Conservation Lands. They offer gift vouchers for all of their tours, with prices starting from $99 for fun in The Sandpit. If you plan on buying a gift voucher for a whole family, please check the age restrictions on the tours first, as minimum ages and heights apply. See

5/ Holiday Accommodation Gift Vouchers are another good idea, to shout someone you love a weekend away to relax. Even if the person you are buying for lives in the region, it still feels like a holiday when they're sleeping in crisp hotel sheets and sipping cocktails by the pool! Two popular accommodation options that offer gift vouchers are
Amarna Luxury Beach Resort at Dutchmans Beach and
Bannisters Port Stephens at Soldiers Point.
For more experience gift ideas around the region, why not buy a gift voucher for a massage at
Bay Beauty, a dinner for two at
Little Beach Boathouse, a sand boarding adventure with
4WD Tours R Us or a snorkelling tour with
Imagine Cruises.
I hope this list has helped you find an experience gift voucher for that person who is hard to buy for, or who loves to get out and about and enjoy life in the Port Stephens region. When it looks this good, below, it makes you want to buy one for yourself!
