Come and experience the majestic views of Port Stephens from the summit of Tomaree Mountain. Enjoy watching from above our incredible marine life including whales, dolphins and schools of fish. Migaloo, the famous white whale, has been sighted from here in the whale migrating season. You may even sight our native goannas, echidnas and vast array of birdlife that inhabit the mountain.
Our sunrise/set tours explore the mountain in under an hour and fifty minutes with insights and commentaries to the historical artifacts that lay in ruin. We travel during lowlight hours to ensure you capture the best light conditions as the sun rises or sets.
Our Fort Tomaree tours are guided historical tours of military wartime relics that lay in ruin around the mountain from the 1942 wartime site. Our guides explain the happenings during the crisis year of 1942 when the threat of an Australian invasion by Japan was at its height.
