About Around the Bay Sightseeing & Bay Cruise
Operated by Explore Australia · 10 Hours · Melbourne, VIC
Set out on a full-day journey around Port Phillip Bay and see Melbourne’s coastline from a whole new angle. You’ll roll through the Bellarine and Mornington Peninsulas, stopping for salty sea air, sweeping clifftop views, and some of the most photogenic spots on the bay. From Geelong’s waterfront to Point Lonsdale’s rugged headland, every stretch of the day gives you a fresh take on this gorgeous part of Victoria.
Along the way, you’ll connect with Country at Narana Aboriginal Cultural Centre, pause for a scenic ferry crossing with lunch on board, and keep an eye out for dolphins as the coastline slips past. There’s time for iconic sights too, including London Bridge in Portsea, the colourful Peninsula bathing boxes, and Murrays Lookout at Arthurs Seat, where the views really open up. If you’re visiting between November and April, Rocky Creek Strawberry Farm adds a sweet finish to the day. It’s a relaxed, scenic way to experience the bay — just bring your camera and a sense of curiosity.
Know before you go: - Please check your booking confirmation for the exact meeting point and departure time. - Wear comfortable walking shoes, as several stops include short strolls and lookout walks. - Bring a jacket or windbreaker — bay conditions can feel breezy, even on a sunny day. - Don’t forget your camera or phone, especially for the lighthouses, lookouts, and bathing boxes. - If you’re travelling between November and April, strawberry picking at Rocky Creek depends on seasonal availability. - Keep some cash or a card handy for personal purchases, snacks, or extras not included in the tour.
