Your Experience

The Wonderful Wilderness of Oz

Welcome to Australia's first National Park, Wilsons Promontory, established in 1898. Get an early start in Melbourne, and cruise through the Gippsland region, a gateway to the magical Prom. Taken care of by experienced guides, you can relax and focus on the rural alpine-coastal vistas – an unforgettable journey with an intimate group.

Find untouched white beaches, coastal forests, and unique temperate rainforests interspersed by well-maintained walking tracks on 50,000 hectares of protected wilderness. The park is home to many marsupial species, from kangaroos to wombats, not to mention the emus and numerous bird species native to this region.

A Footprint in the Sands & Hills of the Prom

Walk from camp Tidal River to Squeaky Beach and be serenaded by a melody, courtesy of the white quartz 'singing sands', a naturally occurring spectacle! Choose between a gentle stroll through the Lilly Pilly Rainforest or conquering the summit of Mount Bishop for an unparalleled panorama. Don't miss a photo-op at Waterloo Point's scenic lookout, a less-visited gem. Despite its expanse and diverse inhabitants, Wilson's Promontory remains one of the world's least polluted and ecologically intact regions, a testament to Australia's conservation efforts!
