Port of Melbourne boat tours
Description
Port of Melbourne boat tours are fun, family-friendly events and the best way to see Australia’s busiest port right on the city’s doorstep. Featuring guided commentary from port staff, you’ll see the port from a whole new angle. The Port of Melbourne is Australia’s largest container and general cargo port and a vital trade gateway, whether sending Australian grain to Guangzhou or bringing us coffee from Colombia. It handles around 35 percent of the nation’s container trade, with around 3,000 ships calling at the port each year.
What's On
Come see the port in operation. The tour will run for approximately 90 minutes with commentary and will take you up close to our main terminals, including Appleton Dock, Victoria Dock, Swanson Dock (swing basin only due to wharf works) and Webb Dock East and West.
Children's Activities
