If you thought that Cape Wilson was just a swath of endless coastline, you were totally wrong! This time I chose the "Wilsons Promontory Cruises" to take you out to sea to play around the Antarctic coast, although encountered rain, but along the magnificent scenery, cute dolphin sea lions (and quite cool Skull Rock) did not miss, even the rain becomes a healing experience.
⛵ Trip highlights inventory
This time I signed up for Wilsons Promontory Cruises, the sea speedboat is exciting and safe. The most amazing things along the way were the groups of jumping dolphins and lazily sunbathing sea lions, which were shocking to see up close! Even if it rains, the trip is not in vain, especially to Skull Rock, which looks like a giant skull and is very spectacular!
🏝️ Attraction recommendation
Wilsons Promontory Cruises
Address: Tidal River Cinema, Tidal River VIC 3960, Australia
Opening hours: 09:00 - 17:00 year-round
This trip will take you around the headland waters, photographing different angles of the cliffs and clear blue waters. The speedboat will stop at several key locations, which is super convenient for taking photos and checking in.
· Biggest selling point: chance to see wild sea lions, dolphins, and when lucky, penguins.
· Must-see scene: Skull Rock, as spectacular as an alien ruins, great for photography.
⛈️ Tips & Real Perceptions
Even if you encounter cloudy and rainy days, the speedboat activity will not be bad. It is recommended that you remember to bring your own waterproof jacket or raincoat. Speedboats are faster and some sections will be bumpy, so if you are prone to seasickness remember to take dizziness medicine (the shipping company may also provide it). And the employees are attentive and down-to-earth, taking the initiative to help us take pictures, introduce the ecology, full of interaction, is the small pleasure of travel.
🍴Food & Practical Info
Tidal River Campground has a vending stand where you can buy some snacks and hot drinks (hot chocolate or coffee is especially recommended, just warm after the speedboat!). After your tour, you can take a walk on the adjacent beach, surrounded by pristine ecology.
· Tidal River General Store, a dining spot nearby
Address: Tidal River VIC 3960, Australia

🚗Transportation guide
It takes about 2.5-3 hours to drive directly to the Tidal River from Melbourne. It is recommended to leave early to avoid the crowds and be sure to book your speedboat trip early during peak hours. The parking lot is near the visitor center, about a few minutes walk to the pier.
