Departing Melbourne at 8.00am, we’ll journey southwards from Melbourne through the Gippsland region until we come to the southernmost part of the Australian mainland – Wilson’s Promontory. Covering 50.512 hectares, “The Prom” as it is widely known, was the first National Park established in Australia in 1898 & remains one of Victoria’s most loved and cherished natural attractions. This pristine slice of natural wilderness will inspire and intrigue even the most discerning traveller, with its panoramic views, pristine white beaches, coastal forests, cool climate rainforests and well-preserved walking tracks. The Prom is home to many marsupials, such as kangaroos & wombats, native birds and other native animals such as emus, which with a bit of luck you are able to see up-close. The best way to explore the Prom is on foot, so you will no doubt enjoy your stroll along some spectacular tracks & be entertained by the pure white quartz ‘singing sands’ of Squeaky Beach. An opportunity is available to enjoy either a gentle rainforest walk at Lilly Pilly Rainforest or amazing panoramic views from the summit of Mount Bishop which we climb via an easy to medium graded walking track. With your group size guaranteed to be no larger than 24 guests, we ensure there is plenty of opportunity to get out and explore nature at its very best. Our friendly & engaging guides will help you create some travel memories to last a lifetime.

Highlights Of Our Wilsons Promontory tours

With so much area to cover, seeking out the best bits on your own is no mean feat. At Melbourne tours , we take the guessing out of the game and ensure you don’t miss anything. There is a lot to love about The Prom, but here are some of our personal favourites.

Nature, Nature, and More Nature!

A trip to the coastal bushlands with our Wilsons Promontory day tours from Melbourne is a sure-fire way to immerse yourself in the iconic Aussie nature and meet some of our most famous furry friends. As a wildlife refuge, Wilsons Prom is home to a host of native species, including wombats, emus, echidnas, and of course, kangaroos. The array of bold and beautiful bird species is also impressive, so look out for streaks of colour in the trees.

As our adventure unfolds, keep an eye out and see how many you can cross off the list. The wombats are extra nosy and love to come and say hello- or try to steal some snacks- so look out for them poking around!

The Australian wildflowers are also something to behold, particularly if you join us in the spring months when orchids are in full bloom. Additionally, the colours are breathtaking, and native shrubbery such as mangroves and other tropical rainforest fixtures breathe life into the rocky granite coast.

What other tours do you offer?

In addition to our Wilsons Promontory tour, we also do a range of other tours from Melbourne including Great Ocean Road Small Group Day Tours , Great Ocean Road sunset tours , Yarra Valley wine tours , Phillip Island penguin parade tours , Grampians Day Tours and Half-Day tours . You’ll find the perfect tour for you with our team at Melbourne Tours.

• Chevron down Mountain Hikes And Incredible Views

Part of the dramatic beauty of Wilsons Prom is the rugged, mountainous terrain that juts out against the ocean. Trails are suitable for all ages and abilities, so you don’t need to be a triathlete to enjoy the breathtaking views from the Mount Oberon lookout point.

The way the hiking trails weave through the rainforest, rocky slopes, open beaches, and sheltered tidal rivers lined with boulders. Immerse yourself in the uniquely diverse landscape and leave the real world behind.

Melbourne Tours makes sure you don’t miss any of the hiking highlights and get to fully experience all the area has to offer.

• Chevron down Musical Beaches And Secret Coves

Potentially the most famous Wilsons Prom highlight is Squeaky beach. 700 kilometres of stunning snow-white quartz sand that disappears under the turquoise waves, it is no wonder every visitor to this part of the country heads straight for this particular bay.

The postcard-worthy views are not what makes this beach so famous; it is the high-pitched, squeaky noise that comes with every step. Children love hopping around making music with their feet, and the big kids among us find it just as entertaining. The condensing dry quartz creates the squeaky sound under your feet, but you can tell the kids it’s simply magic!

Not to be outdone by its celebrity neighbour, the nearby bay by the name of Normans Beach is a wonder in its own right. The sprawling, entirely flat sandy plain looks decidedly extra-terrestrial at first glance. Stretching over a kilometre and a half, Normans beach makes you feel free.

Sitting at the foot of the rugged Mount Oberon slopes, the contrasting landscapes are breathtaking. Walk, run, cycle, or simply sit and enjoy your surroundings: it is completely up to you.

On the way to the coastline, stroll alongside the Tidal River. It snakes through hidden coves shielded by huge boulders and scattered shrubs. The sun-warmed shallow water is perfect for playing in, and the whole area feels like a perfectly designed natural playground. With campsites and pic-nick spots dotted along the way, this is one of the most visited sights in the park.

• Chevron down Unforgettable Sunsets

At the end of a day well-spent, join us as we watch one of the most incredible sunsets Australia has to offer. As the sun disappears behind the horizon, beyond the mountainous skyline and beach-lined tropical coast, thank your lucky stars that you find yourself in the Wilsons Promontory National Park.

• Chevron down Accessibility

Despite the seemingly hard-to-navigate terrain, Wilsons Prom has won awards for excellence in accessibility for all. Walking trails have been specially set up to accommodate a wide range of abilities, and the park offers free-to-use equipment to enhance the experience.

The all-terrain TrailRider chair and fully adapted beach wheelchair that can even go into the sea are two of the ways Wilsons Prom is opening itself up to everybody because everyone should have the opportunity to see this beautiful Australian gem.

If you are joining Melbourne Tours and have any special requirements, please let us know. That way, we can ensure the best possible experience.

• Chevron down Summary

Australia is one of the most incredible and unique countries in the world, and Victoria has some of the best sights of all. Wilsons Promontory National Park is one of the lesser-known attractions but is not to be missed.

Every generation is sure to fall in love with the beauty and mystery of the area, especially since it is perfectly accessible for all ages. From the mountains to the musical sand, from wildflowers to wombats, this national park is a true highlight of Australian nature.

Melbourne Tours is the best choice for a trip to The Prom. We know every nook and cranny of the area and can guide you with expert information and passion for the area. Check out our tour options, details, and prices to find the best one for you!

WHAT YOU’LL EXPERIENCE

Wilsons Promontory Tour Itinerary

Day 1 – 

– Depart Melbourne CBD and leave for Wilsons Promontory. We’ll make 2 stops along the way for coffee & toilet breaks.

– Once at the park we’ll do an easy 5km return walk out to the awesome Big Drift sand dunes which provide 360 degree views over an expansive dune network and surrounding coast and mountains.

– At approx. 1pm we’ll drive 25 minutes to Tidal River where guests can visit the general store for lunch whilst we setup camp. Once camp is setup we’ll head off on an easy 2.5 walk to the famous Squeaky Beach where guests can relax, play frisbee or go for a walk along the squeaky white sands.

– When we depart Squeaky Beach we’ll walk to Pillar Point lookout which provides incredible views over both Squeaky Beach and Norman Bay. Guests will enjoy one of the best photo opportunities at the Prom whilst standing on giant granite boulders.

– Once back at camp guests can go for a hot shower, then we’ll cook a BBQ for dinner and relax in the camp chairs, throw the frisbee, enjoy a drink and some music. For those guests that love stargazing we can go for a short walk out to Norman Bay beach to see the night sky and hopefully the milky way.

Day 2 – 

– We wake up early and have cereal/fruit for breakfast. Guests can grab a coffee from the general store and then we go and enjoy the Mt Oberon summit walk. It’s a 3.5km walk up to the summit however the view is one of the best in Victoria. The walk whilst uphill is achievable for all guests with a moderate fitness level. Once at the top we relax and soak in the amazing 360 degree views.

– Next its time for guests to enjoy lunch in Tidal River and then you have the option of relaxing at the beach in Norman Bay, exploring Picnic Bay or walking the 6km loop at Lilly Pilly Gully.  At 4pm we depart for Melbourne.
