Our take

Sandboarding is the half of a Port Stephens day that travellers talk about most, and you do not need a cruise or a coach tour to do it. This trip runs from Anna Bay: a custom off-road vehicle takes you on a short, bouncy ride into the Stockton dunes in the Worimi Conservation Lands, you get a board and a quick lesson, and then you slide as often as your legs allow. National park fees are included.

All three travellers we watched on the dunes said the same thing: the ride down is fast and the climb back up is the hard part. One called it an absolute nightmare. It suits older children who can manage the climb themselves. Check your voucher for the meeting point, as the listing gives both Gan Gan Road and the lower car park on James Paterson Street in Anna Bay. One reviewer had a refund refused after flooding, and the Worimi lands can close in bad weather, so check the forecast. Read more in things to do in Port Stephens.

Good for

  • A cheap, short adventure if you have a car in Port Stephens
  • Teenagers and fit families

Think twice if

  • Anyone with back problems or poor fitness. The climb is steep
  • A wet or stormy day
