Victoria is lucky enough to have Australia’s largest and most beautiful inland waterways, here in the Gippsland Lakes. These are a network of lakes, marshes and lagoons covering over 600 square kilometres. The Lakes are separated from the ocean by coastal dunes known as Ninety Mile Beach.

On this tour you will head into Lake Victoria to Aurora Channel winding past the coastal park passing the Pelican and Little Tern breeding areas to Steamer Landing.

On route, you may see the resident Burrunan Dolphins, Sea Eagles and abundant birdlife. You will stop at Steamer Landing where you will have the opportunity to enjoy a walk over the sand dunes to explore the Ninety Mile Beach.

They suggest you bring your own food and drinks for a picnic lunch so you can sit and take in the amazing views of the ocean or the lake.
