Marvelous Seascapes & Rugged Coastlines

Enjoy a ride on one of the first custom-built amphibious boats in the world with a focus on comfort and safety while cruising waters. A host of pristine beaches and granite rock formations await you on this cruise. Admire the raw, rugged beauty of the coastline as you discover The Glennies, Anderson Islets, and Anser Island. Some stars of the cruise are the prehistoric boulders of Mount Oberon and the stunning yet eerie granite monolith of Skull Rock. As you get closer to the rock sculpted by the waves, you will understand just why it is named so.

Venture Into the Wild

You will also see the beautiful South Point, the southernmost tip of mainland Australia, cruise in the waters of the Bass Strait, and get a glimpse of Victoria’s first marine national park. Take the chance to spot unique wildlife above and below the waters of the Wilsons Promontory Marine National Park, including seals, dolphins, migrating whales, and the nesting areas of the White Bellied Sea Eagle.
