Getting out on the water in Lakes Entrance

Nature & Parks

Explore the magnificent Gippsland Lakes from BIG4 Whiters

Lakes Entrance is famous for sitting right on the Gippsland Lakes system - Australia's largest inland waterway. Staying at BIG4 Whiters Holiday Village puts you right in the heart of the action, giving you the perfect base to explore the water activities this beautiful East Gippsland region has to offer.

Cruises, fishing, and watersports

Whether you're looking for a relaxing cruise, an adventurous fishing trip, or to get active with watersports, you have endless options on your doorstep.


Explore by boat and cruise

Why not take the day to explore the natural beauty of the lakes and coastline?

  • Peel's Cruises offers iconic tours that showcase the local seal colony and coastal views.
  • Lonsdale Eco Cruises provides a more intimate experience, focusing on local wildlife like dolphins and sea birds.


Get active on the water

If you prefer a hands-on adventure, you can hire your own equipment:

  • Rent a stand-up paddleboard (SUP) or kayak from Venture Out Hire and Tours to explore the calm, secluded coves of the lake system.
  • Hire a fishing boat, or simply cast a line from the shore - Lakes Entrance is renowned for catches like Bream, Flathead, and King George Whiting.


Tips for your water adventure

Ask the friendly BIG4 Whiters team at reception for local tips on the best fishing spots, directions to the nearest boat ramp, or contact details for local hire companies.
