A great day out for big and little kids alike each Boat Tour includes expert commentary about the history and operations of Australia’s largest capital city container and cargo port fun children’s activities such as face painting and activity packs and the chance to sit in the captain’s chair.

“I’ve hosted thousands of boat tours over the years and love sharing the Port’s remarkable story - what it does and what it means for each of us. It’s one of Melbourne’s best-kept secrets!” says Don Forsdyke tour MC and veteran of the shipping industry who is also known as “the Don”.

From sending Australian-grown grain to China to bringing our much-loved coffee in from Colombia –Port of Melbourne generates thousands of jobs and supports millions of local and global businesses which in turn impact the daily lives of Aussies everywhere.
