Australia · MORNINGTON PENINSULA TOURS
The good mornington peninsula tours go weeks out and the best go sooner. Below: the 11 to lock in early, what each includes and where they differ.
Small-group day trip from Melbourne to Moonlit Sanctuary and Phillip Island, with coastal stops and the evening Penguin Parade.
“Seeing the tiny penguins waddling to shore. Amazing resilience. Well worth the time . Will be a most memorable experience of the Australian trip.”
The Explorer is a 25-minute bus tour through Royal Botanic Gardens Cranbourne, with live commentary and hop-off stops for easy exploring.
“Beautiful gardens to explore. Our bus driver Peter was great and had amazing knowledge. We had a lovely day and even saw a wallaby ❤️”
Express shuttle from Melbourne plus priority Bath House entry at Peninsula Hot Springs, with geothermal tubs, coastal views, and photo stops.
“Bus was clean and driver was friendly. Hot spring was great as expected. Rated it lower as both to/from we left late due to poor communication between office and bus driver meaning we all waited for others unnecessarily. Very minimal tour commentary provided during the trip. Otherwise, the bus driver was polite. For $150 I would had liked better organisation and more information provided during the trip. Bring a jumper as a/c was put on full blast which is not ideal after spa.”

“Sunny day, small group. Lovely short cruise seeing the Island from a different view point. Would highly recommend”

A Mornington Peninsula winery bus day from Melbourne with set time slots, four tastings, panoramic photo stops, and lunch with wine.
“Bill was a great driver, but it would be a nice idea for some commentary along the way, especially for those of us not from Victoria. The van was a bit tired, and felt like it had seen better days The tour seemed a bit disconnected, and with the exception of one stop, the other stops put little to no effort into telling us about their wines, I would have thought that they would want to "sell us up" so that we were leaving with some bottles under our arms, rather than making us feel like an inconvenience. This is no fault of the tour operator but the winery themselves.”
Pick a coast, a city or a kind of day.
