Port Phillip Bay

There are world class beaches that are perfect for swimmers and marvellous coastal parks to explore. Scuba diving and fishing are two more popular recreational pastimes that people flock to Port Phillip for.

Port Phillip Bay is a wise choice for a minibus tour and day out, as there are so many things to do and see in a wonderful environment. Most of the best activities are outdoor as the scenery is staggering and the local habitat perfect for exploring.
Fish For Salmon or Snapper
At the start of the year, Port Phillip Bay is simply teeming with salmon and snapper, and in January you can actually see the fish jumping out of the water. Other fish are also plentiful such as whiting, leatherjacket and squid.
Swim with Dolphins
One of many people’s bucket list, to swim with dolphins. Leaving from Sorrento’s car ferry terminal you can go and snorkel with fur seals and at nearby Chinaman’s Hat Marine Park, you will find shoals of wild bottlenose dolphins that will be happy to come and swim with you..
