8.5Hr Wilsons Promontory Full Day Cruise

Just a 2.5hr drive southeast of Melbourne, lies Wilsons Promontory, a coastline that is mostly unreachable by road. This 8.5-hour Wilsons Prom cruise onboard the catamaran Brianna Lee sets you up to explore that outer edge from the water, starting from Port Welshpool and following a route that covers the park’s cliffs, islands and rock formations.

As the vessel moves along the shoreline, you can see the Wilsons Promontory Lighthouse come into view high above the granite ridge. A little further on, the boat eases beneath Skull Rock. Its scale is best appreciated from sea level, where the vessel drifts directly below the opening. The cruise continues to Kanowna Island, where you can see a well-populated Australian Fur Seal colony. Dolphins are also frequently sighted in these waters and often swim alongside the boat.

Refuge Cove is your longest stop of the day. This sheltered, forest-lined inlet is accessible only by foot or by sea, and while the boat is anchored, you can swim, snorkel (BYO gear), paddleboard, explore the beach or follow the path uphill for views across the bay. Lunch is served on board the boat during this halt, while morning and afternoon tea is served during the cruise. 

In a nutshell, this Wilsons Prom full day cruise focuses on open coastal scenery and marine wildlife encounters that are difficult to experience any other way—giving you the chance to see Wilsons Prom from its most remote side.
