What to Expect
Day 1
We’ll hit the road and make our way to Port Macquarie, arriving at Beachside Holiday Apartments and settling into our accommodation. Once we’re settled in, there’ll be time to relax, enjoy the pool and explore the local area before heading out for a sunset cruise. Keep your eyes peeled for dolphins as we cruise along the coastline and enjoy the beautiful scenery as the sun goes down.
Day 2
Today is all about wildlife and exploring the coast. We’ll visit Billabong Zoo and spend time discovering the incredible animals, including the chance to see a snow leopard. Afterwards, we’ll head out for a coastal walk and take in the beautiful scenery and fresh ocean air. Later, we’ll return to our accommodation to relax, enjoy the pool and make the most of our evening in Port Macquarie.
Day 3
We’ll start our final morning with a peaceful rainforest boardwalk, surrounded by lush greenery and native wildlife. Keep an eye out for birds and other local animals as we explore the natural surrounds. After our morning adventure, we’ll pack up and begin our journey home, bringing our Port Macquarie getaway to an end.
A memorable Port Macquarie getaway combining wildlife encounters, coastal scenery, nature adventures and opportunities to build confidence and independence through shared experiences in a relaxed and welcoming setting.
