Planners looking for a teambuilding location will find Port Macquarie has a great range of team building activities on offer to keep delegates on their toes. Choose from teamwork scenarios such as cooking classes, kayaking races and bowling challenges, or character building activities such as hiking, Whale-watching and learn-to-surf sessions.

As a popular tourist destination, Port Macquarie has a wide range of leisure activities to suit your needs. With a combination of beach, river and hinterland attractions coupled with a warm climate year round, delegates can do as much or as little as they like.

• Brewery Tours – Sample boutique beer and tour the award winning microbrewery for a day out with a difference. (Max. 20 people to a tour)
• Cooking Classes – Small classes with top guest chefs inspire and teach your delegates the art of cooking your favourite cuisine using local fresh produce.

• Pat a Koala – Take your group on an educational tour of Billabong Koala and Wildlife Park to learn all about the Koala Breeding program.
