Uncover the Mornington Peninsula & Natural Hot Springs
Escape the city bustle and journey to the breathtaking Mornington Peninsula on an intimate, small-group day tour. With a limited group size of just 4 to 11 guests, you will enjoy a highly personalised experience that perfectly balances invigorating outdoor adventure with deep, soul-soothing relaxation. 🌲
Our day begins at the summit of Arthur’s Seat, where you will marvel at panoramic ocean views while enjoying a delightful morning tea. From there, we set off for Bushrangers Bay to embark on a spectacular 5km return hike. Wander along undulating paths surrounded by native birdsong, spot local kangaroos grazing in the wild, and take in the dramatic coastal scenery leading to a picturesque lighthouse. After our hike, we will explore the historic Cape Schanck lighthouse precinct before stopping to refuel at an award-winning local cafe.
To top off an incredible day, we will visit the award-winning Peninsula Hot Springs. Unwind with two hours of pure bliss as you bathe in natural geothermal mineral pools nestled within a tranquil coastal forest. 💦 It is the ultimate way to rejuvenate your body and mind after a rewarding day of exploration.

Overall great experience and can fully recommend to everyone. Booking was straighforward and pleasant. The tour guide Jay was very kind and friendly. He explained a lot during the tour, and happy to answer all my questions.
Worthwhile bookings the Grampians tour.
It was not an easy hike but our guide made us feeling as much comfortable as possible.
Great Atmosphere within the group and Amazing view at the top
Would recommend Hike and Seek for any type of hiking tour experience
Recommendation: this tour was great because it was a van vice a bus. With the small parking lots and windy roads, I highly recommend this tour or an operator that uses a van or advertises “small group”
12 Apostles, I’m my humble opinion, one of the worlds most sensational nature phenomenon, I have ever seen!
The van we took was clean, new, air conditioning was brilliant, also had some fresh air with the windows down at times! Lovely way to spend the day, I’d you want a chillaxed kind of day, with mind blowing scenery!
If Jayda ever gets a bad review? It will never be her that’s the problem, it will be the passenger! Thanks for a smashing day!
Cheers,
Ms. Lisa Teel
The day started with pick up at 7.30am from the Melbourne meeting point and returned us for 7.30pm - a full day and with the offering of tailored options as to where we most wanted to spend our time throughout our day.
A long day with lots of travel but worth it to get out of the city for a day. Stunning coastal scenery. Best ice cream I’ve ever had in the afternoon. It was an opportunity to see Australia’s rugged coast line.
Laurinda an Pat were really friendly! Small group tour is a must!
The whole experience was about 13 hours. I got my tickets from Red Balloon, but hide and seek sell their own too.
Amazing views, stops, and experiences. I would recommend anyone that has a spare day in Melbourne to book in with these guys. They provided one of the best memories over my holiday.
Our guide was Marcos who engaged with all the passengers and made sure we saw everything. He was a very kind, safe driver, and knowledgeable learned guide.
