Arrived around 4pm in afternoon after 4 hour coach journey from Coffs Harbour. It was a quick visit we were leaving early in 2days so only really 1 day to jam things in!! We booked a Dolphin tour for $15 for the morning. We arrived at the Port around 10am and there was around a group of 10 of us onboard. He first gave us a little guided tour of the new houses being built on the river which we both agreed were stunning!! We then stopped for some snacks at the Oyster House we're obviously they were processing Oysters.....just as were about to leave 2 Dolphins appeared near us it was so cool. We followed them for a while and then they decided to have some fun and swim alongside the boat and jump in and out of the water as if showing off...I was sanpping away like David Bailey but they were to quick for me!! They beat the hell out of Flipper tho!! It was a brilliant tour and we had eventually found Dolphins!! In the afternoon we walked fromthe river out to the beaches and sea and lucky for us as we walked alongside the river 3 more dolphins appeared so we follow them they were playing on there way out to sea. After checking out the beaches which were stunning he headed for the Koala hospital as they have a free tour of the hospital at 3pm daily. We walked around and learned all about why these animals get injured and hurt so often and got up close to alot of the Koala's that were permanent residents due to injury. It was sad it someways but nice to see people making a difference. We gave a little donation as the tour is free and heading back towards the our hostel 'Ozzie Pozzie' which was a small friendly hostel. We headed out to Sydney at 5.30am the next morning wishing wishing we had a few more days in Port Macquaire as its a beautiful place with great beaches and plenty of cheap tours to see the wildlife!!
