Newcastle, Australia

Newcastle’s Coastline by RIB

Thrilling Cruise to Scenic Lookouts Revel in stunning views of Newcastle’s picturesque coastline from a rigid inflatable boat, or RIB. Meet your knowledgeable guide and after a short safety briefing, depart from Harbour Square along the Honeysuckle Foreshore. Your ride will begin around Australia’s third-largest port, then continue along the spectacular Hunter coastline. Along the way, your experienced helmsman will explain the maritime history of Newcastle; it has been an operational port for more than 2,000 years. Keep your eyes peeled for local marine life and learn more about the region’s geology. You will also discover more about the Aboriginal heritage of Newcastle’s residents. On the way back to the shore, view some of the city’s landmarks and admire the ships in port, before disembarking and returning to your awaiting ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines. Total time walking or standing normally ranges from 1.5 to 3 hours.
