A scenic coach trip takes you to the charming and quaint fishing village of Port Fairy, an historic town dating back to the early 1800’s.
Here you will have free time to explore this charming town as you go for a leisurely walk to admire the lovely cottages and gardens. Known as a town in love with the arts, you can browse through the diverse array of boutiques, antique stores and art & craft shops scattered throughout the town. Or you can relax and enjoy the fine food and wine on offer at one of the many great pubs, cafes and restaurants.
With many fine examples of 1800's architecture and more than 50 buildings classified by the National Trust, Port Fairy is also a perfect spot for history buffs. Follow one of the historic walking trails and discover charming, fully restored white-washed cottages built by whalers and seamen beside Georgian-style merchants' homes and grand public buildings. You may also wish to wander along the Port Fairy Maritime and Shipwreck Heritage Walk to learn about the local maritime history, before you re-board your coach for the return drive to Portland.
