Join this sand surfing 4WD safari from Port Stephens for unlimited sand surfing down the largest moving sand dunes in the Southern Hemisphere! Begin the adventure with a 4WD transfer from Anna Bay to the dunes with regular shuttles running all day giving you unlimited time to zoom up and down the dunes as much as you like. Pack a picnic and take a break from your sand surfing adventure with shaded picnic areas available for your enjoyment. This is the only sand safari that allows guests to stand up and experience surfing down the large dunes and friendly instructors will be available to provide assistance as required. When you have had enough, simply rejoin the 4WD transfer shuttle to return back to Anna Bay.
The Port Stephens Sand Surfing Safari is available daily between 10am to 4pm. Sandboarding is suitable for all ages- young children and toddlers may ride down the dunes with adults or ride solo if they are feeling confident.
