Metung’s many waterways create a boater’s dream, with the city nearly surrounded by water and lined with boat ramps, outfitters, and chartered boats, all ready to help you best enjoy your time on Bancroft Bay, whose breezes invite sailors and whose bluefish and black bream entice fishing fanatics.

A network of Indigenous trails that takes visitors through 30,000 years of Gunaikurnai history, the Bataluk Cultural Trail passes through Metung, drawing visitors to Legend Rock on the shore of Bancroft Bay.
