What to Expect
Experience everything there is to love about the stunning Mornington Peninsula region in an incredible day of adventure, indulgence and relaxation. It doesn't get any better than breathtaking views, stand-up paddle boarding through crystal-clear bays, spectacular coastal hikes, a delicious picnic lunch, bathing at the tranquil Peninsula Hot Springs and wine tasting at a superb local winery.
Begin your day with a must-do activity on the Peninsula: a stand-up paddleboarding adventure along the majestic waters of Port Phillip Bay. Keep an eye out for the local pods of dolphins as you drift by the backdrop of a stunning white beach adorned with the famous colourful bathing boxes. Your guide is a certified SUP instructor and will give you all the necessary pointers and safety instructions before you get on the water.
Head to the southern coastline of the Peninsula to enjoy a breathtaking guided coastal hike along nature trails with ocean vistas. Along the way, keep an eye out for local wildlife like kangaroos and echidnas before arriving at the rugged ocean scenery of Bushrangers Bay. There may be time to stop at the beach to chill and if the conditions are right, take a dip in the natural turquoise rock pools.
Refuel with a delicious picnic lunch full of fresh local produce at a spectacular beach viewpoint, along with other refreshments such as native tea, coffee and local beverages. After lunch, it's time to kick back in a tranquil setting at the Peninsula Hot Springs. With over 50 global bathing experiences, including an amphitheatre of geothermal pools, an ice cave, saunas, hammocks and more, these are some of the world's best thermal hot springs and the ultimate way to unwind.
A trip to the Mornington Peninsula wouldn’t be complete without experiencing one of it’s over 200 wineries and you will head to a local favourite. Here you will have some time to taste some of the best wines on the Peninsula whilst enjoying the vineyard views at this beautiful quirky winery.
Reminisce on an unforgettable day as you take a stunning scenic drive to the summit of the Mornington Peninsula, stopping at a viewpoint along the way, before being dropped back at the starting point of the 19th Century McCrae Lighthouse.
