Leave the city behind on this full-day sightseeing tour from Melbourne, which circles Port Phillip Bay by coach and ferry and takes in the highlights of the Bellarine and Mornington Peninsulas. After pick-up in central Melbourne, your English-speaking guide heads to the Geelong Waterfront for a stroll by the bay, then on to the historic Point Lonsdale Lighthouse. At Queenscliff you board Searoad Ferries to cross Port Phillip Bay to Sorrento, with wide ocean views, and lunch is included during the day. On the Mornington Peninsula you can admire the London Bridge rock formation at Portsea Beach, take in the panoramic clifftop views from Murrays Lookout at Arthurs Seat and stop for photos at the colourful bathing boxes. Depending on the season, the day also includes strawberry picking at a local strawberry farm from November to April, or a chocolate tasting from May to October. The tour takes about 10 hours before returning to Melbourne, making it an easy way to see two peninsulas and the bay in a single day without driving yourself.
