Searoad ferries have long had a route between Queenscliff and Sorrento, encouraging visitors and locals alike to take the scenic route across the bay.
Whilst on a Searoad ferry, you’ll find an onboard cafe, as well as plenty of comfy seating, both inside the cabin and out on the deck for those nicer days (or braver travelers!) There’s mounted binoculars to help you catch a better view of Pope’s Eye or the Black Lighthouse, and keen eyed visitors may even spot dolphins riding in the wake of the ferry.
Not only is the ferry a great transport option, it can be part of the experience, with events often held on the ferry itself. Sundays see High Tea on the High Seas, and throughout the year they have shows and entertainment for both young and old, with plenty of experiences for the kids over the school holidays.
The ferry docks in Sorrento, a beautiful seaside town with a historic feel. It has everything you could ask for in a port town, from a perfect pub to fresh seafood, as well as a strip of boutique local shops, boasting wares you won’t find anywhere else.
Then after a day in Sorrento, catch the sunset on the way back, with special 7pm services running throughout the summer and over Easter. Finish the night at one of the many beautiful restaurants and bars in Queenscliff.
With a ferry leaving Queenscliff and Sorrento every hour between 7am - 7pm, there’s plenty of time to make the day amazing.
