Drivers & CrewDrivers and Crew

Tour Planners

Our highly skilled drivers and crew are second to none. With a true passion for adventure and safari tours, their desire to share the story’s and history of the places they have come to love means the their knowledge is delivered in a fun enjoyable way, sometimes with the odd ‘Dad Joke’ .

“Hi, Recently I took 90 students and eight other staff on a school camp to Central Australia. One of the buses was from your company. I just wanted to let you know how highly regarded your drivers were by our group. Jeremy and Adam were professional, courteous, entertaining and understanding. They assisted us when we needed it and made the trip even more memorable. The students thought they were both great guys, as did the staff. Personally, without the advice from these experienced drivers my job would have been significantly harder. They helped immensely. I would recommend your company to anyone who asked based on my experience with Jeremy and Adam. Thank you, Liam.”

Every small detail is important when organising a school tour especially when travelling to remote destinations. Port Stephens Coaches expertise and experience in all forms of school travel means we understand the needs of staff, students and parents alike.

Accommodation Accommodation

Flexible travel options are available for all our adventure tours. Our tours travel in highly maintained five-star coaches with seatbelts, air conditioning, DVD players and most importantly an onboard rest room, no shovel required.

Our option to either fly in or fly out, gives you the opportunity to custom plan the tour package to suit your timing and budget needs. Transport travel options means that we can plan your tour to include travel only by coach, travel one way by coach and fly back, or to fly to Alice Springs or Darwin and travel back by coach.

Accommodation on our tours can be varied so check with our tour planners for which options suit your needs and budget. Staying in campgrounds experienced in providing facilities for school aged children, the easy set-up of our purpose made safari tents allows the students to experience a true outback safari adventure. There is also the opportunity to sleep underground when in Coober Pedy, and some campgrounds provide options for cabin or dorm style accommodation.
