What to expect

Head out on a sailing adventure on the pristine waters of Port Stephens where there's lots of fun adventures and some serious relaxation to be had! The 'Imagine' is a 54ft sailing catamaran, designed as a model for eco-tourism. With a spacious, covered foredeck and a comfortable downstairs cabin, you can enjoy 360 degree viewing and plenty of space for the family to relax and have fun. As you sail through the bay, soak in the rays of the sun in the dry bow-net positioned close to the water, or go for a ride in the boom-net where you'll get wet.

Make sure to keep your eyes out for dolphins - you're sure to see some throughout the day! If you're feeling more adventurous, enjoy some snorkelling in a protected cove at the stunning Cabbage Tree or Fingal Island, where a qualified dive master or snorkel guide will introduce you to the rich and ever-changing underwater world. You'll find an incredible array of marine life and vegetation - fish, sea urchins, soft corals and rays, all waiting to be discovered.

Don't forget to take the time to relax, unwind and enjoy a drink from the licensed bar on board, whilst you take in some of the most scenic landscape along the NSW Coast.

This experience is part of the Responsible range because they are ECO certified by Ecotourism Australia.
