Large Group Tours from Newcastle
Guided group tours in Newcastle Australia.
Looking to organise a memorable day out for a large group? We can help.
We are specialists in large private group tours for domestic and international travellers, working with companies, conference organisers, travel agents and inbound tour operators. Every itinerary is built around your brief, your time window and your budget.
Where we go. Newcastle, the Hunter Valley, Port Stephens and Country NSW, from wine tours showcasing world-renowned Semillon to the beaches and dolphin-rich waters of Port Stephens.
What we handle. Private charters, coordinated pick ups across Newcastle and surrounds, timed arrivals, dietary-friendly catering and smooth venue handovers.
Vehicles. Everything from luxury 8-seaters through to full-size coaches, so group size is rarely the limiting factor.
Popular add ons. Premium tastings, wildlife experiences, scenic photo stops, guided coastal walks and curated dining at trusted local venues.
What you get back. Send us your group size, date window and must-do list, and we will come back with a draft itinerary and a transparent quote within two business days.

End-of-year and corporate functions
A large share of our group work is Newcastle businesses booking a day out for the team. The two we run most often are the Newcastle Food & Street Art walking tour, which fits inside an afternoon, and the Hunter Valley wine tour, which is the full day version.
Both run privately for your group only, and both can be adjusted: start or finish at your office, shift the timing so it suits the working day rather than eating into it, and run lighter or completely alcohol-free for some or all of the group at no extra cost. Dietary requirements are briefed to every venue in advance.
For the full rundown, including which of the two suits which kind of team, read our guide to work Christmas party ideas for Newcastle businesses.
