WHAT TO EXPECT

Get Ready for an Epic Adventure! 

The Big Drift at Wilsons Promontory is a must-visit for its stunning, ever-changing landscape of vast, shifting sand dunes set against rugged coastal and bushland scenery. The relatively short hike to the dunes offers both a physical challenge and a sensory escape, with sweeping views of pristine beaches, wild nature, and nearby islands. It’s a peaceful, less-crowded spot perfect for adventurers, photographers, and nature lovers, providing an unforgettable opportunity to disconnect, explore, and enjoy the park’s unique beauty in solitude.

But wait... There's MORE!!

Mount Bishop is one of Wilsons Promontory's hidden gems, offering incredible views and a rewarding hike that showcases the park’s diverse landscapes. The summit provides panoramic vistas of the surrounding wilderness, including the coastline, neighboring islands, and the rugged hills that stretch inland. The hike itself is a thrilling mix of challenging terrain, beautiful forests, and open rocky outcrops, making it perfect for those who enjoy a bit of adventure. What makes Mount Bishop truly awesome is the sense of accomplishment when you reach the top—you're rewarded with one of the best views in the Prom, all while feeling like you've discovered a secluded corner of nature. It’s a perfect spot for both keen hikers and anyone wanting to experience the Prom’s wild beauty from a higher perspective!
