Bus Icon 10.00am Melbourne 8.5 Hours

Trip Overview

Discover the wild beauty and historic charm of the Mornington Peninsula’s southern coast on this premium small-group tour. Travel in comfort with Premium Seating, led by a knowledgeable local guide, as you explore rugged coastal cliffs, heritage landmarks, and bayside villages that define Victoria’s southern coastline.

Begin with a short guided walk to a hidden Arthur’s Seat lookout, where panoramic views of Port Phillip Bay set the tone for your scenic journey. Continue along the coast to take in windswept vistas and dramatic shoreline scenery that showcase the peninsula’s untamed edge.

Wander through Point Nepean National Park, where historic forts, tunnels, and the quarantine station tell stories of Australia’s early defence history. For a fun twist, opt to explore the trails by e-bike. End your day in charming Sorrento, with time to stroll, shop, or simply soak up the bayside vibe.

This full-day coastal experience is the perfect blend of history, nature, and seaside leisure — all with the relaxed feel of local-led travel.
