The tour group is owned by the Bellarine - Mornington ferry, and our tour involves this stretch. Even so, this tour is full of sightseeing experiences, and is good for those who want to cover grounds.

Review for: Around the Bay Sightseeing Tour

On this first day of Lunar New Year, I joined a relaxing amd enjoyable tour guided by Gary. Gary told many stories about the peninsulas and the bay. We were allowed enough time to walk around each stop to see different monuments and geological features. The lunch at the pier was good, much better than I had expected. We also visited a strawberry farm and handpicked a few boxes and delicious strawberries. The last spot was a beach with colourful bathing house which is not located at Brighton so it was not crowded and we were able to take photo with ease. Gary drove at moderate speed on the Mornington Peninsula and told us some development of the area. Overall, it is an excellent tour.

Perfect service and very friendly driver! Brand new minibus was great and super comfortable. The route itself is an unparallelled experience and lunch on the ferry is superb!

The tour was a relatively small group for us just the 3 of us. The tour guide was really humorous and such a knowledgeable storyteller which was an upgrade! Matthew also took great care of the tour bus’s window to ensure everyone gets a great view! There was also ample time to chill and take photos. The beer brewery was also very nice, we had a relaxing time tasting 4 different beers. The food on cruise was amazing and a big portion — had some leftover dessert for dinner as well. Overall, it was a great experience!

i am glad we have Matthew as our guide. He is so wonderful and humerous. He told us which direction to walk to capture beautiful sceneries. The water at Cunningham pier is so clear that we could see the corals and star fish. The sceneries at Mornington pennisula, Murray lookout, lighthouse and beach boxes were awesome. Lunch and cruise was lovely experience too. I will recommend those coming to Melbounet to take this package.

Review for: Around the Bay Sightseeing Tour

It’s very popular. It would be great if the boat time can be longer. It’s a pity that I didn’t go to the cultural center this time. The special flavored beer I tasted was very special. It may be too much for those who don’t drink beer often. There are 4 glasses of about 350ml

What a great way to see both sides of the bay in a day. Included a ferry ride and lunch as well. Loved the St. Andrews brewery visit and Arthurs seat. The tour was on a mini bus seating about 10 and included a knowledgeable and very friendly guide, Matt. All the stops provided enough time to look around. Cheers Kim and Steve
