THIS RUNS ONLY TILL 8TH NOVEMBER. BE QUICK!

Your adventure begins with a scenic 2.5-hour drive from Melbourne through the rolling countryside of South Gippsland to Wilsons Promontory, Australia’s oldest national park and one of Victoria’s most spectacular natural treasures. Along the way, enjoy ever-changing landscapes as farmland gives way to dramatic coastal scenery before arriving at the departure point for your unforgettable whale watching cruise.

Board a purpose-built vessel and set sail along the breathtaking east coast of Wilsons Promontory, where towering granite mountains meet the crystal-clear waters of Bass Strait. This pristine marine environment provides the perfect setting to witness one of nature’s greatest spectacles as humpback whales migrate along the Victorian coastline. Watching these magnificent creatures breach, tail slap, and surface alongside the vessel is an awe-inspiring experience that few destinations can match.

Your knowledgeable skipper and crew provide fascinating commentary throughout the cruise, sharing insights into the whales’ annual migration, the unique marine ecosystem, and the remarkable history of Wilsons Promontory. In addition to whales, you’ll have excellent opportunities to encounter playful dolphins riding the bow wave, Australian fur seals relaxing on remote rocky outcrops, and an abundance of seabirds soaring above the rugged coastline.

The scenery is equally captivating. Cruise past dramatic granite cliffs, secluded white sand beaches, hidden coves, and pristine offshore islands that are inaccessible by land. Every turn reveals another postcard-perfect view, making this one of Victoria’s most photogenic coastal experiences.

With spacious viewing decks and comfortable onboard facilities, you’ll enjoy exceptional opportunities to observe and photograph the incredible wildlife from every angle.

Wir hatten unglaublich fantastische drei Tage mit Paul, der uns alles gezeigt, viel erklärt und im Vorfeld die ganze Tour perfekt organisiert hat. Alles angepasst an unsere Wünsche und Vorstellungen. Als am letzten Tag auf dem Weg zum Flughafen spontan unser Flug verlegt wurde, baute er noch einen extra Programmpunkt ein, um unsere Wartezeit zu verkürzen. Uneingeschränkt empfehlenswert.

Had two great days with Paul from Melbourne Elite Tours. First was visiting Phillip Island and the Penguin Parade and the second was touring the Yarra Valley. Paul was easy to work with and we were able to tailor each tour to our specific timing and needs. As our driver/guide Paul was timely, professional and very personable. His passion for the work and knowledge of the area were first rate. I would highly recommend using Melbourne Elite Tours!

Paul and his team are definitely a cut above. We loved the attentive service and many thoughtful touches not to mention superb restaurant choices. Views weren't bad either. Can highly recommend the helicopter ride over the Apostles.
