01 / The experience

Mornington Peninsula hot springs & coastal views.

Over four hours in Peninsula Hot Springs’ Bath House, followed by Murrays Lookout and beach bathing boxes, with Melbourne transfers and a towel.

Give yourself a day away from the city for geothermal bathing and coastal views. Explore Australia’s Mornington tour spends over four hours at Peninsula Hot Springs before visiting Murrays Lookout on Arthurs Seat and the peninsula’s beach bathing boxes. The Bath House has outdoor pools, a reflexology walk, sauna and other bathing experiences; take time between pools instead of trying to visit every one.

The fare includes Bath House admission, a towel and return Melbourne transport. Lunch, other drinks, robes, locker hire and treatments are separate unless your booking adds them. Bring swimwear, slides or flip-flops, a refillable water bottle and sun protection. Spa Dreaming Centre entry and a winery tasting are not included in this tour. Book a separate wine-focused outing if cellar doors are your priority.

The tour runs Monday to Saturday and is advertised as departing at 09:00 for 8½ hours. That suggests a return around 17:30, but your pickup and return can vary with the route and traffic. Select a Melbourne pickup at reservation and be there ten minutes before its stated time. The map pin marks the hot springs in Fingal; coach passengers should join in Melbourne rather than travel directly to the baths.
