What to expect
You'll board a catamaran in Western Port Bay and spend the next hour and three-quarters drifting past several islands as the sun descends. The crew provides live commentary about the landscape and wildlife you're passing. A musician plays throughout, creating a relaxed atmosphere. You'll have access to a grazing box of nibbles and can purchase drinks from the bar. Local fur seals often appear near the islands, and you may spot various bird species. The bay gradually fills with warm colours as sunset arrives—the main event, though timing varies seasonally. Dress for wind and cool evening temperatures, as conditions on the water differ from shore.
