Wilsons Promontory, known as the ‘Prom’ is the southernmost point on the Australian mainland - that doesn’t include Tasmania of course. The Prom is a truly special place, with its soaring granite cliffs and rocky lookouts jutting out into the vast Southern Ocean. Covering around 50,000 square hectares, Wilsons Promontory National Park is the largest coastal wilderness area in Victoria.
The Prom is a place for nature lovers, photographers, and adventurers with an abundance of natural beauty, and some fascinating wildlife, birdlife, and sea life! There are over 80 kilometres of walking trails so you’re unlikely to bump into many people as you trek through rainforests, along pristine coastlines with white quartz ‘squeaky’ beaches, through bushland, and past many ancient indigenous landmarks.
Wilsons Promontory tours take visitors to all the special spots in the national park. It’s the ideal way to get up close to some of the amazing wildlife and see them in their natural habitat. The area has been so well preserved, that you’re bound to see a whole array of fascinating creatures on a Wilsons Promontory day trip.
Some of the charming animals that call The Prom home are kangaroos, wallabies, long-nosed potoroos, emus, wombats, echidnas, white-footed dunnarts, and feather-tailed gliders.
In the waters, you’ll see southern right whales, humpbacks, and killer whales (depending on when you visit) sharks, rays, dolphins, and octopus. The small islands off Wilsons Promontory are home to colonies of penguins, fur seals, seabirds, and sea lions.
Birds to keep an eye out for at The Prom are cormorants, godwits, yellow-tailed black cockatoos, flycatchers, scarlet robins, wandering albatross, and the majestic sea eagles.
Wilsons Promontory boat tours are the best way to explore this incredible place as you cruise past the beautiful granite coastline and unique wilderness reaches of Wilsons Promontory National Park. A two-and-a-half-hour Wilsons Promontory Cruise takes you from the beach on an amphibious boat into the waters of Bass Strait.
Depending on which cruise you choose, you can visit mesmerising Skull Rock, the white quartz sands of Norman Beach, The Glennies, Anderson Islets, Anser Island, and the massive boulders of Mount Oberon. Stop at South Point, the southernmost tip of Australia's mainland, and certainly one to tick off the bucket list!
Kanowna Island, a marine wildlife hub and key breeding site for seabirds has a vibrant seal colony. The boat drifts close enough to experience the seals in their natural environment, fishing, and diving from the rocks, feeding their young or lazing in the sun.
From Melbourne to Wilsons Promontory is a three-hour drive, made even more interesting if you make a few stops along the way. Pop into the quaint towns of Loch, Meeniyan, and Fish Creek for a cuppa and to stretch your legs.
Yanakie is a small settlement, known as the gateway to Wilsons Promontory National Park. It’s the closest town to the park gate.
The area has been a national park in one form or another since 1898. It was accessible only by boat until the 1930s when the road was completed. The site was closed to the public during World War II and used as a commando training ground.
After disappearing due to illegal hunting, the Southern Right Whales have returned to Wilsons Promontory. You can also see Humpback whales and occasionally, Killer whales.
