About this tour
A nine-hour romp through Victoria's Mornington Peninsula combining paddleboarding, bushwalking, natural swimming holes and thermal springs. You'll launch into sheltered bays for a SUP lesson, trek through coastal scrub to secluded rock pools, refuel with local produce, soak in geothermal waters and finish with a winery tasting. The day threads together adventure and restoration across one of southeast Australia's most varied coastal regions.

What to expect
Expect a physically demanding but varied day. You'll start on the water with paddleboarding instruction, then shift to land-based hiking through proper bushland with elevation changes. The rock pool swim depends entirely on tidal conditions—your guide will assess safety on the day. After lunch featuring regional produce, you'll transition into the thermal pools at Peninsula Hot Springs, moving from activity into genuine rest. The winery visit winds things down with tasting and time to absorb the quieter side of the peninsula. Transport links each station, giving your legs occasional breaks.
Good to know
Moderate to strong fitness required—the hiking involves genuine terrain. Not suitable for spinal injuries, pregnancy or cardiovascular concerns. Bring a change of clothes and consider the rock pool is tide-dependent so might not be accessible. Lockers and gowns at the hot springs cost extra.
