Detailed itinerary

Begin your adventure in Australia’s cultural capital before heading into wild coastal beauty.

Start your journey in vibrant Melbourne, where city charm meets sophisticated style.

As you leave behind the buzzing laneways and towering skyscrapers, you’ll head south on a scenic 3 hour coach ride toward the pristine wilderness of Wilsons Promontory, Victoria’s beloved national treasure.

Walk among native wildlife in their natural playground at the Prom.

Step onto sands that sing with every stride at Squeaky Beach.

Famous for its fine quartz sand that "squeaks" as you walk, Squeaky Beach is a picture perfect slice of paradise.

Framed by granite boulders and turquoise waves, it’s ideal for a scenic walk, coastal photos, or simply soaking in the beauty of Wilsons Prom’s iconic shoreline.

Tidal River is the heart of the Prom, calm, scenic, and soul soothing.

Its tranquil waters and surrounding bushland offer a peaceful moment to relax or explore before continuing your journey deeper into the Prom.

Find your peaceful escape at the secluded Refuge Cove.

Accessible only by trail or boat, Refuge Cove is a hidden gem along the coast.

Surrounded by bushland and calm waters, this serene spot is perfect for a restful break, a walk along the shore, or just enjoying the untouched wilderness and possible wildlife sightings at sunset.

Breathe in the salty air and stunning views at Norman Beach.
Paragraph:
Norman Beach’s wide sandy shore and gentle waves make it a favorite for both relaxation and exploration.

With golden hour views, this bay offers a perfect photo opportunity, a refreshing walk, or a quiet moment to watch the sun melt into the horizon.

Climb to panoramic glory at the summit of Mount Oberon.

Cap off your tour with a scenic walk up Mount Oberon, where sweeping 360° views of the Prom’s coastline await.
