You'll get to experience the port from a whole new angle and get access to areas you normally wouldn't see.
It's also the ONLY way to go under the iconic Westgate Bridge!!
Port of Melbourne is the country's largest container and general cargo port, a vital trade gateway and significant contributor to Australia's economy – whether sending Australian grain to Guangzhou or bringing us coffee from Colombia.
Getting to see these large ships and containers so close, provides an insight into the sheer scale of the operation, the number of people who work at the port and the huge amount of products being shipped in and out every day.
