Experience Melbourne’s beautiful Port Phillip Bay! In just 40 minutes, you and your car can cruise effortlessly across Port Phillip Bay. It’s the fastest, most relaxing and scenic way to link Victoria’s Great Ocean Road with the Mornington Peninsula. And it reveals the most spectacular Bay views, from historic Sorrento on the Mornington Peninsula to quaint Queenscliff on the Bellarine Peninsula.

Operated by Searoad Ferries, two ships provide hourly departures from each charming village between 7am and 6pm, seven days a week.

This drive-on-drive-off experience is a very smooth and easy way to continue your road trip rather than driving the 200 kilometre/3 hours around through city traffic and on toll roads.
