Full Day Tour - Ex Melbourne
What to expect:
Your day begins with a comfortable coach departure from Melbourne (4 CBD locations), heading south through the Mornington Peninsula to the historic Sorrento Pier — a scenic 90-minute journey that sets the tone for the adventure ahead.
Once you arrive at Sorrento Pier you collect your snorkelling equipment and step aboard, you'll be welcomed onto a purpose-built luxury vessel equipped to make every moment on the water as comfortable as it is memorable. Find your spot on the open sun deck, settle into the lounge, or grab a coffee from the onboard café as the coastline unfolds around you.
Your experienced guide will brief you before you enter the water, ensuring you feel confident and well-prepared. Then it's time for the main event: snorkelling with wild fur seals in their natural environment. These curious, energetic creatures are known to interact with swimmers, making every encounter genuinely thrilling. Keep your eyes open too for the remarkable weedy sea dragons — one of the ocean's most mesmerising animals, found only in southern Australian waters.
After your swim, change into dry clothes, and enjoy a relaxed lunch on the water before heading back to Sorrento Pier for the return coach journey to Melbourne, via the Rocky Creek strawberry farm where you can choose to purchase strawberries from the u-pick cafe, take a scenic photo with the famous bathing boxes and view Port Phillip Bay from the elevation of Murray's Lookout, before joining the freeway back to Melbourne.
