Southern Peninsula Coast Discovery Tour from Melbourne
Less driving, more doing—experience the great southern coast without the long haul. This rugged coastline rivals the Great Ocean Road for beauty, but offers a shorter, adventure-filled day that’s big on highlights and low on crowds.
Join us for a full-day journey through the Mornington Peninsula’s southern edge—combining clifftop walks, sweeping views, historic landmarks, beachside villages, and local flavour. Explore Cape Schanck and Point Nepean, unwind in Sorrento with a complimentary drink, and discover the coast’s best-kept secrets with a local guide and small group.
This is the perfect day trip for travellers who want impact over distance—natural beauty, local stories, and plenty of time to enjoy it all.
