What to Expect

Travel in the world's first, custom-built, amphibious boat designed for cruising waters in comfort and safety. On this tour of Wilson's Prom, witness iconic South Point, the southernmost tip of mainland Australia and cruise into the waters of Bass Strait and Victoria's first marine national park.

On this tour, you'll discover a rugged and raw coast like no other to explore The Glennies, Anderson Islets, and Anser Island. Marvel at the prehistoric boulders of Mount Oberon situated behind the white quartz sands of Norman Beach before uncovering the iconic granite monolith that is Skull Rock. Sculpted by waves and surrounded by crystal blue waters, Skull Rock's eerie facade becomes even more mysterious as more and more skull shapes reveal themselves the closer you get.

The waters of Wilsons Promontory Marine National Park are teeming with life above and below the surface. The nutrient-rich waters create a smorgasbord for the unique coastal wildlife that lives in and around its waters. Get close to an Australian Fur Seal colony, observe the unique birdlife (including the nesting areas of the majestic White Bellied Sea Eagle), and keep watch for bottlenose dolphins and migrating whales (September to December and May to July).

Make the most of your Wilson's Promontory journey! This tour's boats are designed with minimum environmental impact and maximum adventure and safety in mind. The tour drives straight from the sand and into the water so you can discover a seascape as unique as the vessels that take you there.
