Top-Rated Melbourne Shore Excursions

Ships berth at Station Pier in Port Melbourne, and a tram from the foot of the pier reaches the city center in about twenty minutes. The laneways, galleries and gardens are easy to explore independently, while guided trips run to Yarra Valley wineries, the Mornington Peninsula and the start of the Great Ocean Road.
