Witness the wonders the Bellarine coastline has to offer from a different point of view this summer and jump on one of Port Phillip Ferries brand new one-hour summer discovery cruises from Portarlington and Geelong – Kids under 17 go free (T&Cs apply).
To entertain the whole family and for a memorable experience these school holidays how does a sightseeing cruise on board a 35 metre catamaran sound?
If a salty breeze in your hair and beautiful outlook interests you then these short out and back cruises are the perfect way to spend an afternoon.
Operating throughout school holidays from Wednesday to Sunday in Portarlington, and Saturday and Sunday in Geelong, they’re a great way to take a different look at the coastline and maybe even see some friendly sea creatures along the way.
There’s a licensed cafe onboard so you can enjoy the view with a drink in hand and adding to the fun there’s happy hour drink and food specials available too.
The modern state-of-the-art ferries have both indoor and outdoor seating areas, accessible onboard facilities with boarding ramps that easily accommodate wheelchairs, motorised mobility scooters and prams.
The ferries also have Wi-Fi available and charging stations, just in case you’re running low aboard, also with onboard audio and video commentary and music while you travel.
