Tour Itinerary

Mornington Peninsula Colourful Bathing Boxes
First, on your Mornington Peninsula private tour you’ll stop in to see the colourful bathing boxes on the beaches, grounded in wood and painted in bright colours for a perfect photo opportunity of the area’s laid-back coastal lifestyle.

Arthurs Seat Eagle Skylift
Soar above the trees on the Arthurs Seat Eagle Skylift, arriving at the summit of Arthurs Seat for panoramic views of the coastline and countryside at a thrilling speed. Green open spaces and sculpted gardens lead you directly to the heart of the peninsula, and from Arthurs Seat itself, you can look out over the rolling hills, beaches and vineyards that line the coast. Enjoying this ride is a must-do part of any Mornington tours itinerary.

Arthurs Seat Lookout
Then prepare for even more breathtaking panoramas with a stop at the Arthurs Seat Lookout. Views from here span across the bay and the city of Melbourne, as well as back over the sandstone cliffs and rural landscapes of the peninsula. This is one of the most photographed sites on the Mornington Peninsula, and it can get quite crowded. It’s another good place for stretching your legs, snapping pictures, and taking in the sprawling views.

Strawberry and Cherry Picking - Seasonal Experience

Depending on the time of year, picking strawberries and cherries at local farms will also be part of your Mornington tour experience. Feel the joy of picking your own fresh fruit, hot off the tree; the ultimate reason why it tastes so good and full of juices.

Main Ridge Dairy Farm
For a gourmet side to Mornington Peninsula, visit Main Ridge Dairy, a local cheese-maker in the ‘village’ of Main Ridge making cheese on the farm using fresh goat’s milk. You can tour the dairy and try artisan cheeses in the cool countryside setting of Red Hill.

Lunch in Sorrento
Halfway through your beautiful day, take in a leisurely lunch in the quaint old coastal town of Sorrento. Laid-back, with plenty of four-star restaurants serving the local cuisine while overlooking the peninsula’s clear, blue waters, Sorrento is a perfect mid-day stop.

Cape Shank Lighthouse Reserve
Head south to the wild and windy end of the peninsula to visit Cape Schanck Lighthouse Reserve – a stunning and rugged stretch of coast with dramatic coastline, an ancient lighthouse and dramatic views from the clifftops. This breathtaking pitstop is one of the highlights of Mornington Peninsula private day tours, offering history, scenic landscapes and nature.

Mornington Chocolate Factory
To satisfy your sweet tooth, we'll then make a stop at the Mornington Chocolate Factory. Here, you can indulge in an array of handmade chocolates and treats, and perhaps even witness the chocolate-making process. Don't forget to pick up some delectable souvenirs to take home.

Peninsula Hot Springs - optional experience
For those who want to unwind after a fantastic day, Mornington Peninsula Hot Springs is an extra option to add to your Mornington Peninsula Private Tour upon request. The bathhouse is nestled in tranquil bushland and features natural thermal pools, the perfect way to soak away the stresses of the day and rejuvenate mind, body and soul.

Bilby Tours created a personalized Yarra Valley Winery Tour for our small group at a reasonable price. They were wonderful to deal with and the driver Richard made our day great. We went to the Yarra Valley Chocolaterie, two wineries (one for lunch) and a brewery. It was so well organized. Would use again in a heartbeat.

Great Experience Everything was great. Max (the owner) was ready waiting for us at the hotel at the agreed time. The vehicle was comfortable and safe. When we arrived at Lake Mountain it was snowing, so very fortunate. The snow experience was great, loved the toboggan and building a snowman. And stopped at a chocolate factory in the Yarra Valley on the return drive. Highly recommend for those wishing to experience the snow. though not for those wanting to ski unless you know there has been heavy snowfall. I have no problems with using Bilby Travel again in the future.

Think about Melbourne, think about Bilby Tour It was worth every penny. We traveled as a large group of 11, spanning several generations from 2 to 80 years old. Max was an understanding and fair guide; he was easy to talk to and very open-minded. He provided a wealth of information and remained professional yet friendly throughout the trip. ​A few highlights that really stood out: ​Proactive Service: He took care of all our luggage without us even having to ask. ​Great with Kids: He truly understands the needs of children, which made our family trip much smoother. ​Expert Planning: He had a clear understanding of the local weather patterns. When it started to rain, he proactively swapped our itinerary to ensure we saved the main highlights for a day with better weather, allowing us to fully enjoy the outdoor activities. ​We couldn't have asked for a better experience

He was so entertaining and caring and he really made our whole trip a once in a lifetime experience - and he exceeded our expectations at every opportunity!!!! Every part of our tour was handled incredibly smoothly and professionally, right from the very beginning in all our contact with Max who communicated all the arrangements so well and so promptly. And our English cousin especially enjoyed her first ever sight of koalas and kangaroos so thank you Richard!! and thank you Max!!

Perfect start to our trip It was like having your own chauffeur, he was friendly and knowledgeable. We covered so much, iconic landmarks, history and details we never would’ve noticed on our own. We appreciated the flexibility and showing us the best places to stop for photos. I recommend this tour if you want an easy, informative, and enjoyable way to explore Melbourne.
