Nature walks and hiking
Discover the natural beauty of Port Stephens
Bushwalking (or hiking) in Port Stephens is a year round pastime. Port Stephens is a 'safe' region for backpackers and hikers and although there may be a few snakes or spiders that don't take too kindly to human company, there is nothing in the bush that will eat you!
