Your next vacation doesn’t require packing the suitcase, taking leave, or possibly getting left stranded. All you really need…. is a day... a daycation.
Stay close to home while getting the fix you have long been craving and do so in just 1 day. Traditionally a day trip worthwhile meant a whole lot of driving and just one experience, but by sailing to your next daycation you can spend less time driving and more time doing.
Let us take the wheel and keep you moving while you stop and unload, visit wonderful world-class wineries, quiet quaint villages, or beautiful bays and beaches. Sailing the bay is the missing link in being able to see everything this beautiful state has to offer all in the space of a day.
An experience in and of itself, catching the ferry allows you to engage with the picturesque Port Phillip Bay. Watch the native wildlife play with whimsy or simply relax with friends on a unique 40 minute experience.
So, your next holiday requires a quick drive from home, a bay sail, and just one day. Sail to your next daycation!
Less time driving, more time doing!
What is a daycation? It is probably the most precise term to articulate how Victorians will be holidaying in 2021. Day trip, micro holiday, a day out, road trip, quick getaway, whatever you like to call it, it will be the new trend in Victorian tourism. Gone are the days of planning for months the dream vacation or the yearly holiday, for a daily press conference, can throw everything into...
Time is arguably the most valuable commodity on any good holiday, making sure you maximise every last second fitting in all things you wish to see and do. When it comes to day trips its no different, time can be as much on your side as it is against you. You have all the time in the world to plan as many daycations as you wish, but you have a finite time, a day, for each individual...
You know that feeling after a long holiday of longing to be in your own bed? It's as if the mattress wraps its arms around you and says, "welcome home buddy, I missed you". Well, we have found the perfect accommodation for you on your next Victorian vacation and, best of all, it’s completely FREE*. This local accommodation is custom suited to your every desire.
One of the key ingredients in a good food & wine daycation is tasting as many wines as possible. Do you know what the greatest thing about the bellarine peninsula is? Some of the top wineries are located within a stones throw from each other, meaning more time tasting & less time driving. The Northern Bellarine wine region is surrounded by amazing views of rolling hills colliding...
One of the worst kept secrets is how good the craft breweries and distilleries are on the Mornington Peninsula, however, one of the best-kept secrets is how to do the best of them in a day! A ferry ride across the bay will allow you to start the sampling of local brews. Head on down to Tar Barrel in Mornington, the original home of Mornington Peninsula Brewery, where you can...
Wine tasting is a fun days outing -traipsing from cellar door to cellar door, tasting the best of a region, sometimes sampling from the barrel, touring behind the scenes or chatting at the wine pour directly with the winemaker. It’s an experience that never quiet translated over a ‘zoom’ tasting. Staying close to home and taking a day trip does not have to mean...
It’s pretty simple. Hanging out with our dogs makes us feel good. They are part of the family and we include them in most things, especially getting out and about. The Mornington Peninsula is a very dog-friendly place. Many businesses have embraced the connections we have with our pets offering water bowls, tie-up stations, and doggie treats whilst some cafes even...
The suggestion of a family day out can sometimes be met with a collective sigh followed by a “how much is this going to cost me”. But memorable experiences with your loved ones don’t always have to be a bank breaker. The joy in scaling back our experiences can open the door to shared opportunities you may never have had. So here is an overseas Family Daycation under...
Very good trip today with our caravan, we saw some dolphins 🐬 🐬🐬

I have been dreaming of this trip for 15 years since I arrived in Melbourne. Finally my dream came true and it was more than expected. It is the closest Melbourne's day trip adventure. Highly recommend!

Excellent!! Ferry very clean including restrooms. Cafe on board with adequate choices. Very, very enjoyable sitting on deck cruising across the bay. Queenscliff Terminal a pleasant place to wait to board. Must see the video showing in the little side room - it's awesome.

Embarking on a family trip with Searoad Ferries from Queenscliffe to Sorrento was a life-enriching experience that left a lasting impression. The journey was incredibly smooth, with breathtaking views of the bay and coastline that inspired a sense of wonder. The ferry's impeccable cleanliness and comfort, combined with its cozy cafe and warm hospitality, made for a truly uplifting experience. Savoring the delicious coffee and taking in the majestic scenery was the perfect way to unwind while exploring the region's natural beauty.
