The spring school holidays are fast approaching, so it’s time to start preparing for some pirate-inspired fun! Searoad Ferries has a great schedule of FREE school holiday activities aboard its ferries across the Bay between Queenscliff and Sorrento.
Onboard each vessel there is a children’s playground, and for sunny days, head out onto the rooftop deck to scan for dolphins or seals at Pope’s Eye, or grab a snack at the onboard café.
For foot passengers, spend some extra time at the newly opened Queenscliff Ferry terminal and explore the gift store, or relax in the passenger lounge and admire the spectacular coastline.
