Day Trips from Melbourne to Wilsons Promontory National Park

Let a pro handle the 3-hour drive from Melbourne to the Wilsons Promontory National Park, situated on the southernmost tip of mainland Australia—that way, you’ll arrive ready and recharged to explore and take on the trails. These trips trade the urban sprawl for the white quartz sands of Squeaky Beach and the massive granite boulders that define the Gippsland coast. You can also spend the afternoon spotting wombats and emus in the wild or hiking to the summit of Mt. Oberon for a panoramic view of the offshore islands. Traveling this way ensures you hit the best hidden coves and forest tracks without the logistical exhaustion of the long-distance trek.
