A fantastic boat ride down to Catherine Hill Bay from Newcastle. Great commentary too. I highly recommend this tour.

The boat tour was one of the highlights of our visit to Newcastle. Our skipper and guide Dominic was extremely friendly and informative and the boat ride itself was exhilarating. Unfortunately the trip had to be cut short as we hit a wall of rain and had to turn round early but we still managed to see a good stretch of the coastline and during the brief time we were being showered with rain, the rain coat we were issued with kept us nice and dry.

Friendly, informative, scenic and fun. See our Newcastle coast from another angle. Get up close to the entrance to huge caves. Learn some history. Surrounded by dolphins off Bar Beach. A great trip.
