Time to hit the highway with our small group (max 8 guests) and make our way to the idyllic Mornington Peninsula. Our first stop is the summit of Arthur’s Seat where we’ll share panoramic ocean views and a bite of morning tea. This is just a taste of things to come.
We move onto Bushrangers Bay for a 5km return hike featuring unreal coastal scenery, rocky bays, wild oceans and one picturesque lighthouse.

After we return from our first hike, we will head to Cape Schanck for a smaller walk in the lighthouse precinct.
To refuel, we stop at one of Mornington Peninsula's award winning cafes (and we can see why)

5.00Had a fantastic day in Mornington today! The hiking trail was beautiful with delightful sea view, and the hot spring afterward were the perfect way to relax. Our guides(Aaron and Andrew) were extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole experience enjoyable. The pace was perfectly chill - not rushed at all, giving us plenty of time to take in the scenery and enjoy each moment. They were attentive to everyone's needs and created a wonderful atmosphere throughout the day. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a perfect blend of nature and relaxation!
Best day exploring and relaxing

5.00The 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

5.00A 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!

5.00The 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!

5.00Fabulous 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!
Great Trip ever!
