During the Rip Tour, a very experienced navigator provides expert commentary on when and how to transit. You can read a book, diagrams, and marine charts, but seeing it from the water with expert guidance is different.

"I highly recommend this tour to anyone that goes even close to Port Phillip Heads and especially to anyone that wants to venture into Bass Strait and return safely." Tony Christmas Commodore Vic Australian Volunteer Coast Guard
 
Please remember that this is an on-water, outdoor activity that is subject to weather conditions and sometimes postponements, so your co-operation and understanding is very much appreciated.

‘The Rip’ is the narrow entrance to Port Phillip Bay and the only access for shipping to the ports of both Melbourne and Geelong. More than 4,000 commercial vessels transit this gateway annually, where underwater reefs limit the navigable entrance to just 0.6 of a nautical mile.
