5 Tours in Williamtown That You Shouldn't Miss

Take off for an epic 40-45 minute scenic helicopter flight and check out the beautiful coastline from Newcastle over Stockton Beach to Port Stephens. You’ll be able to cover a lot of ground during your extensive flight time, so prepare to be amazed by the iconic Australian coastal landscape. Head over the eastern boundaries of the bay and soak up views of Anna Bay, Fingal Lighthouse, Mount Tomaree National Park, Hawks Nest and more. Your helicopter flight will sweep right over Stockton Beach at about 500 feet, so you can scope out the sand dunes, tin city, and the remains of a giant shipwreck that crashed ashore decades ago. Stockton Beach is home to the largest mobile sand dunes in the southern hemisphere and was the location used for several scenes in the 1979 movie Mad Max, so it’s definitely a sight to see. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to see the Newcastle, Stockton Beach and Port Stephens coastline and enjoy an unforgettable adventure.
