Tour Itinerary

The day begins with an easy drive to Arthurs Seat which sits 300m above the Peninsula and provides impressive views over Port Phillip Bay & beyond. From here we drive to Cape Schanck Lighthouse which forms part of the Mornington Peninsula National Park to commence our epic 7.5km return walk out to Bushrangers Bay. This walk is absolutely up there with the Pinnacles, Mt Oberon etc. as one of the best short hikes in Victoria. The trail takes you through dense coastal heathland which hugs the dramatic cliffs before descending down onto the sandy beach of Bushrangers Bay. Once on the beach I encourage guests to take off their shoes and walk along the shore before we reach ancient the volcanic geological rock formation called Elephant Rock and its amazing rock pools. The contrasts between these ancient volcanic rocks, the cliffs and sandy beach provides incredible photo opportunities. Once back at Cape Schanck we’ll descend the wooden boardwalks to further explore coastal lookouts and the black pebble beach which leads to the striking  Pulpit Rock. Now that we’ve worked up an appetite we’ll enjoy a sandwich and fruit in the grounds of the lighthouse.

After lunch we drive a short distance to the Peninsula Hot Springs where guests will have the chance to spend 2.5 hours relaxing in the various hot springs and take the opportunity to experience a Turkish steam bath, sauna, cold plunge pools and the hilltop pool with 360 degree views of the Peninsula. There is simply no better way to relax after a great hike. We’ll depart the Hot Springs at 4:30pm for a 6pm arrival in Melbourne.
