About this activity

A comprehensive, all-inclusive, nature tour which will expose you to the sun, sand, wild animals, nature walks and the Australian bush. Experience each of these in this 6 hour nature extravaganza that covers six locations.

The highlight of the tour is the Moonlit Sanctuary which is located on the Mornington Peninsula, about 60km from the Melbourne CBD. This location has been selected as the sanctuary of choice because of the ability for visitors to interact with Australian native animals. You will have the opportunity to pat and feed kangaroos and wallabies as well as see other native animals such as koalas, wombats, cockatoos, Aussie the Emu, and many more.

An Australian style picnic dinner is included.

As with all tours provided by 69 Tours, this is a private tour, which offers some room for flexibility, is never rushed, conducted in a relaxed, easy going fashion, by an experienced local guide. Experience Melbourne through the eyes of a local.

Itinerary

Luna Park Melbourne

Passing by

Our first major attraction that we pass is Luna Park, a historic amusement park located on the foreshore of Port Phillip Bay in St Kilda. It might be that as we pass you will hear screams and yells coming from the riders of the Scenic Railway, which was opened in in December 1912 and is the oldest continually operating roller coaster in the world. If you see someone standing in between the carriages, don't worry! The Scenic Railway is one of three roller coasters in the world that has a brakeman who stands in the middle of the train.

We can stop at Luna Park for a photoshoot, if you desire.
Brighton Beach

Passing by

The route follows the very beautiful and picturesque Beach Road where you will see multimillion dollar designer houses on one side, and the great views of Port Phillip Bay and the numerous beaches on the other side.
Dendy Street Beach

30 min

There will be a 30 minute stop-over at the famous Dendy Street Beach. This is the beach that is famous for its multicoloured wooden beach huts. It is also the most photographed beach in Victoria. In fact, this stop-over is done so that you will have the chance to do your own photoshoot, not only of the numerous coloured huts, but also of the views of the city in the distance, and other fantastic sights looking out into the bay. There are free public toilet facilities at this beach.
Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park

2 h 15 min Admission included

One of the main highlights of the Peninsula Nature Tour is a visit to Melbourne's award-winning wildlife park where you will get an up-close look at Australia’s amazing animals.

You will have more than 2 hours to explore the bush land while feeding kangaroos and wallabies, petting friendly koalas and enjoying encounters with colourful birds, reptiles, dingoes and many other animals including endangered species.

More than 60 Australian species are waiting to meet you at the Moonlit Sanctuary, which is the ideal place to learn more about the fascinating animals that call Australia home, with their free keeper presentations and shows every 30 minutes.
Arthurs Seat Eagle

30 min Admission included

You will enjoy a chairlift ride at the Arthurs Seat Eagle, which is located at the highest point of the Mornington Peninsula. You will experience uninterrupted views, framed by swaying Manna Gums, grazing kangaroos and the trace of distance coastlines. You will be immersed in a truly majestic Australian landscape.
Arthurs Seat

45 min

A picnic lunch will be provided in a natural setting, followed by a gentle bush walk to a nearby lookout.

A great lookout which forms part of the short bushwalk that takes place at the conclusion of the picnic dinner. An excellent place to take memorable photos.
