Arvos on the Bay

Golden Hour Ferry Cruise Across Port Stephens

Departing Nelson Bay at 3:30 PM, this sneaky little ferry ride starts off all calm and cruisy. But by the time you’re heading back at 4.30PM, the bay transforms — golden light glints off the water, dolphins may tag along, and the whole scene feels like Mother Nature showing off. Bring your favourite beverage and a snack or two, settle in for some seriously good vibes.
