East Gippsland acknowledges the Gunaikurnai, Monero and the Bidawel people as the Traditional Custodians of the land that encompasses East Gippsland Shire. We pay our respects to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people living in East Gippsland, their Elders past and present.

Sit back and enjoy

Let the locals show you around their backyard on a tour or cruise. Let it be a sailing adventure or fishing charter, a trail ride on horseback or cycling trip. The area has an abundance of organised options from wildlife spotting and exploring eco-systems to guiding through the Buchan Caves or pedalling along the East Gippsland Rail Trail. Perhaps you fancy a helicopter ride in the sky or a heli-SUP. What will you do first?
