Just Wow! - Spending time for two and a half hours on the Hunter Coastal Adventure Tour by boat is one of my best decisions for the Newcastle tour. Everything was perfect and the journey was memorable.

Adventure Experience gift for Xmas, Birthday, Anniversary or big day out - Do yourself a favour and check out our amazing coastline from Nobby’s to Catho (that’s what surfers call it - Catherine Hill Bay) and back. You can observe the war time tunnels between King Edward Park and Bar Beach, Burwood beach rail coal history, caves at Pinnies and the Catherine Hill Bay wharf. Back in the 70’s some surfers jumped off the wharf to surf the reefs around CHB, Our teenage grandkids enjoyed the experience as part of their Xmas present. I plan on doing the whale watching experience in 2024.

Knowledgeable team, great experience - The CoastXP team are fantastic! They did everything to ensure my Mum and I had the most fantastic day. Dom and Troy were knowledgeable of the local area and friendly. The boat is comfortable and incredibly clean. A great experience. I would recommend it as a great day out to others.

Awesome job!!! - The captain helped my handicapped sister who walks with a walker onto the boat with no problem. I must say I was very impressed how easy he made it for her and it really was easy for her to get on the boat. Highly recommend this adventure!! Thank you so much for making us some memories here. We loved seeing the dolphins and all the information you gave us on the tour!!

Good way to see the beautiful lake in the morning - The trip was good, we had lovely guides & saw some dolphins the way there & back. I think it was a little too long, could've been sufficient with 2 hours however, enjoyed it regardless as it was a lovely morning! Take some snacks with you seeing it is 3 hours but not too much as you don't get off the boat. Also extra warm clothes if you do a crisp morning tour.
