The peninsula runs south-east from Melbourne between the bay and the ocean. It suits a day of a few unhurried stops rather than a long drive: hot springs, a gondola with a view over the bay, coastal villages and the national park at the tip are all within a short distance of each other.
South-east of Melbourne, roughly 70 to 100 kilometres depending on how far down you go.
Choose the ones you want. We build the day around your list, drive you to each and wait while you visit. Paid entries are booked by you unless your written quote lists them.
Peninsula Hot Springs
Bathing by session. Book your own entry; sessions can fill.
Arthurs Seat Eagle
Gondola to the summit lookout. Ticketed and weather-dependent.
Sorrento and Portsea
Coastal villages with front and back beaches.
Cape Schanck
Lighthouse and boardwalk on the ocean side.
Point Nepean National Park
Fort Nepean and the old Quarantine Station at the tip of the peninsula. Park access is checked for your date.
Who this suits: Couples and groups wanting a relaxed day with a few good stops. Also works well with children, who get the beach, the gondola and the hot springs.
The peninsula starts roughly 70 kilometres south-east of Melbourne and runs to about 100 kilometres at Portsea and Cape Schanck. The stops are close to one another once you are down there, so most of the day is spent at the places rather than between them.
No. Bathing is sold by session and you book your own, which is worth doing early because sessions can fill. Tell us the session you hold and we build the day around it.
Usually. The bay side and the ocean side are different in character and about twenty minutes apart, so a bathing session plus a coastal village, a beach or the lighthouse at Cape Schanck is an ordinary day here. Send the list and we will check it against the time you reserve before anything is agreed in writing.
Your private vehicle and driver come with local destination knowledge and practical advice. Your driver transports your group safely, waits while you explore and collects you at agreed places and times, within the agreed route and reserved window. The standard service does not include a tour guide or conducted guided visits. A separate guide can be arranged at extra cost, subject to availability and a written quote before booking.
Your written quote confirms the reserved time and agreed route. Within that plan, your group sets the pace at each stop. Extra stops or longer travel can affect timing and the final total, so ask and we will confirm what fits before travel.
Later than most people expect. Bookings have been confirmed with a few days' notice and sometimes less, subject to a vehicle and driver being free. Ask — the worst answer is that the date is taken.
From A$949 for the whole vehicle
Starting rates for the private group, up to 4 guests. Longer reserved time, larger parties, added regions and peak dates are quoted higher, and the written total is confirmed after the route, vehicle fit and availability are checked.
