A Day Out on Newcastle Harbour
The Newcastle coast is full of natural beauty which provides the perfect opportunity to explore and dine out across an entire day of activities. Whether it be shared with a loved one or a group of friends, get together with those people important to you and enjoy the pleasures Newcastle harbour has to offer!
But first, coffee…
Before the day truly begins, fuel up with a quality barista-made coffee from Union St. Pastry or Brew Tales Wickham. Baked Uprising is another great option!
Union St, Pastry, Brew Tales and Baked Uprising make a terrific coffee, located close to Newcastle Cruising Yacht Club where CoastXP tours depart.
Start your day around 8:30 am, with a coffee in hand, you’re now ready to head down to the waterfront to board CoastXP’s custom-built boat, Atmos.

Welcome aboard!
Year-round CoastXP tours depart at 9 am from Dock C – Newcastle Cruising Yacht Club, located at 95 Hanell Street, Wickham. Cruise through Newcastle Harbour by boat before heading offshore on an action-packed adventure boat ride.
Throughout the warmer months of the year, CoastXP’s Adventure Tour takes guests on an exhilarating ride down the coastline to Caves Beach and Catherine Hill Bay covering some 30 kilometres of pristine, rugged coastline!
In the cooler months of the year, in particular winter, CoastXP’s Whale Encounter Tour is an iconic Newcastle Whale Watching experience. Depart the harbour to meet giant marine mammals off the coast of Newcastle in the form of Humpback Whales.
Lunch is served.

Following your tour, you will have built up an appetite. The most difficult decision you’ll have to make all day is..
“what should I choose for lunch?”
Luckily, Wickham has plenty of great dining options along the waterfront. Enjoy dining at some of Newcastle’s best restaurants. As the closest restaurant to the dock, we can recommend Newcastle Cruising Yacht Club for a delicious meal overlooking the dock, Wickham Boatshed for cafe vibes or Chiefley West for a more casual sandwich style lunch
