Our guide Margaret was absolutely wonderful and took such great care of us “oldies,” going well above and beyond what we expected. She is truly a valuable asset to the company.

Explore the stunning Mornington Peninsula on a relaxing day trip from Melbourne. Begin your journey with a visit to the impressive London Bridge rock formation, where the powerful waves of the Southern Ocean have carved out dramatic coastal scenery.
Explore Portsea along the Bay Trail and enjoy lunch at ONDA Sorrento. Head to Murray’s Lookout for breathtaking views across the peninsula’s rolling hills and coastline.
The tour wraps up with a stop at the famous Mornington Peninsula Bathing Boxes — a colorful and uniquely Australian photo opportunity. It’s a perfect way to end your exploration of one of Victoria’s hidden gems.

From November to April, the day includes strawberry picking at Rocky Creek. Outside the strawberry season, the itinerary swaps this for a visit to the Mornington Peninsula Chocolaterie, so there is still a local food experience to enjoy.
The day is easy-going and built around short walks, coastal lookouts and photo stops rather than a long hike. You should be comfortable getting in and out of the vehicle and walking at outdoor coastal locations in comfortable shoes. The bus is not wheelchair accessible. A foldable wheelchair or walking aid may be accommodated by prior arrangement if you can climb the bus steps.
The coastal stops are designed for sightseeing, short walks and photos rather than swimming. You will still have time to enjoy Portsea’s shoreline, London Bridge and the colourful bathing boxes, but swimwear is not needed for the planned itinerary.
