5.00Enjoyable ferry trip, Libbie was waiting for us with our bikes when we got off the ferry Bikes were good and perfect for the conditions. Nice coastal ride there and back, took us about 4 hours at gentle pace and a break for lunch. Take your swimmers, we forgot but there were multiple opportunities for a swim and plenty of time to do so.
Great Cycling Experience

5.00We had a great day out on the Bellarine Costal Path! Libbie met us off the ferry from Melbourne and provided us with everything we could possibly need. Great Trek bikes in top condition. The route provided was easy to follow and good suggestions for places to stop. There were lots of wild birds including Pelicans. Highly recommended if you want to escape the city for a day
