Additional Information

Hop on the road with our intimate group (maximum of 8 guests) en route to the charming Mornington Peninsula. Our inaugural stop is atop Arthur’s Seat, offering stunning panoramic seascapes and a quick morning tea. This merely scratches the surface of what’s to come.

Next, we venture to Bushrangers Bay for a 5km roundtrip hike, boasting incredible coastal views, craggy bays, raging seas, and a photogenic lighthouse. Keep your eyes open for local kangaroos and your ears tuned to the melodies of indigenous birds as we trail along the rolling path. Post-hike, we journey to Cape Schanck for a brief walk around the lighthouse sector.

To replenish our energy, we pause at one of Mornington Peninsula’s top-ranked cafes (and it’s easy to understand why!)

Lastly, we wind down at Peninsula Hot Springs, a lauded natural hot springs and daytime spa retreat. It’s the ideal conclusion to a remarkable outing in nature! (Soaking time: 2h)

Great hike and hot springs! - The guide was engaging and fun! We met the tour guide in the morning and she greeted us with a morning coffee or tea, and a light snack of protein ball or banana. Before we hop on to the car for an hour drive to the mornington peninsula. We had about a 7 click hike along the coast. Took many breaks in between. The guide would check on us frequently to see if we are fine. Safety is their top priority. We had a nice walk. Note that there are quite a flight of stairs to climb up and down to get to the coastal beach. After which, we head over for lunch. Lunch was at a cafe. Food was good. They provide breakfast sets and brunches, coffee, tea and alcohol too. After lunch, we head directly to the Hot springs. It was pretty packed as it is a weekend. Overall, it was a really good experience! Would go for the hot springs again!

Great day on the ninch - A really great day trip! The combo hike and spa is perfect as you can relax after the morning’s exercise. It was a perfect group size - small enough to get to know each other. Talaska was our amazing guide, she was super knowledgable about the local area and animals. We saw some kangaroos and a couple of blue tongue lizards! Overall an amazing day and really convenient to be picked up from Melbourne.

Cozy and Fun Mornington Peninsula Tour! - The tour was a good pace and thanks to the small group we had ample time at each spot to enjoy the sights. Our guide, Marcus shared with us little historical facts at each stop which really enhanced the experience and ensured we had snacks and engaging conversations throughout the day. Will highly recommend this tour for solo travellers like myself who want to explore outside of Melbourne and be able to make friends!

A must do! - Fabulous taster of the Mornington Peninsula! We had a mist shrouded walk through Arthur's Seat checking out the kangaroos, birdsong to accompany our trek down to Bushranger's Bay, a sweeping vista of wild, crashing waves against the rocky coast from our vantage point at Cape Schanck, and plenty of time to relax at the hot springs to end the day. Michael was an absolutely fantastic guide; really great conversations, incredibly knowledgeable about the flora and fauna and history, and just made us feel totally at ease. I couldn't recommend him enough, he had a personal connection to the place and his stories made learning about the area that much more special. Lunch at Merchant & Maker was also *incredible*, the menu is huge so there'll be something for everyone. Will definitely be back for other tours in the future!

Laid back, great pace, fun - I loved the experience of this tour. Laid back, great pace and fun. It felt less like a tour and more like a day out with friends, with the bonus of knowing you wouldn’t need to take over on the driving! Would definitely do more Hide & Seek trips.
