Cruise Itinerary:

Around the Bay Sightseeing & Bay Cruise

The best sights from around the Bay. Spend the day with us as we journey around the bay throughout the Bellarine and Mornington Peninsulas where we will take a stroll along the coastline, pick fresh produce and enjoy some freshly brewed craft beer.

Geelong Waterfront: The day can’t start off any better than with a walk along Geelong’s spectacular waterfront. A daily tradition for local residents, we’ll take the opportunity to breathe in the fresh sea air as we walk along the esplanade before getting the day underway.

Narana Aboriginal Cultural Centre: Gaze upon some of Australia’s most authentic and oldest living culture at Narana Aboriginal Cultural Centre. Greet the local Emus and Wallabies in their habitat nestled amongst native flora and fauna.

Point Lonsdale Lighthouse: Our next stop along the Bellarine Peninsula will be a stroll around the Point Lonsdale Lighthouse for a divine photo opportunity that is truly Instagram-worthy. No filter needed!

Queenscliff to Sorrento Ferry: Savour the moment as we sail upon the bay, enjoy a regional produce hamper lunch on-board the ferry and observe some of the most serene bay views that the coastline has to offer.

London Bridge Portsea: Set upon the pristine Portsea Beach, you’ll find ‘The’ London Bridge. This impressive wonder of nature has no chance of falling down anytime soon and is definitely a unique rock formation.

St. Andrews Brewery: This craft brewery set amongst the beauty of the Mornington Peninsulas was once a world-class horse training facility. Here we’ll join the locals for a beer paddle tasting and the opportunity to watch the brewers crafting and pouring great brews right from their stable doors.

Arthurs Seat Eagle: A state-of-the-art gondola set over the state forest at the highest point of the beautiful Mornington Peninsula. Surrounded by breathtaking view from the bay to the city and have the opportunity to spot wildlife as we soar high above the trees.

Yarra Valley Gourmet Tour

While the Yarra Valley is a world-renowned wine growing region, wine is only half the story of this gourmet wonderland and our tour provides a fine blend of the very best of the region's wines and other gourmet produce.

We start the day with an exclusive farm gate visit at Yarra Farm Fresh, for a palate-cleansing fruit experience. At this boutique third-generation orchard we'll sample a range of seasonal fruits and other local produce. We will also learn a little about the wide range of farm-fresh apples grown on the property.

Next we travel to one of the valley's true icons, De Bortoli Wines where we'll enjoy a tasting from their extensive range of quality wines. We'll learn how to swirl, sniff and slurp like true connoisseurs, while tasting some of the very finest cool climate wines.

The amazing produce at the Yarra Valley Dairy will truly melt in your mouth. The cheeses here are truly stunning and will have your tastebuds working overtime!

Our lunch is at the fabulous Rochford Wines where our guests can choose from four different main meals, with a glass of wine & tea/coffee. Take some time to explore the gift shop, or perhaps climb the spiral staircase to enjoy the panoramic views from Rochford's famous lookout tower.

After lunch we make our way to one of Australia's great wineries and member of the Australian Tourism Hall of Fame, Yering Station. Home of Victoria's oldest vineyards, first planted in 1838, the wines here are of exceptional quality and a tasting here is not to be missed.

Before returning to Melbourne, we'll visit the Yarra Valley Chocolaterie where you're welcomed with an exclusive chocolate tasting, displays of thousands of premium chocolates and European chocolatiers at work handcrafting their chocolate creations.

You will commence the journey home knowing that they have enjoyed the very best that the Yarra Valley has to offer.
