Port Stephens is renowned for its diverse range of tours and activities available on or off the water. On the water there are many cruising and tour options to take advantage of the year round dolphin watching and the seasonal migration of the humpback whales. Charter boat operators such as the award winning Moonshadow Cruises and Imagine offer a range of options from daily dolphin watching to dinner or sunset sail cruises. Access to the three local Soldiers Point, Peppers Anchorage and d'Albora Nelson Bay marinas is only minutes from the hotel for easy access by the boating or fishing enthusiast.

Off the water, Stockton Beach is the largest moving sand mass in the southern hemisphere running from Anna Bay to Newcastle Harbour. One of the few remaining 4WD access beaches left in Australia, there are many activities and tours available from beach fishing to 4WD sand safaris, sand boarding, digging for pippies or simply relaxing with a day at the beach.
