A fun mix of several things in one day: amazing views, great food, relaxation at the hot springs. A good pace. Jordan was fun, funny and organized.

Fantastic Tour. Ned was such a great tour guide. He was very knowledgeable, funny (and had a really good play list for our journey). Arthur’s Saddle showed beautiful views across the bay. We had a delicious lunch at Green Olive with some lovely wines (the rosé was a favourite). Then the Peninsula Hot Springs. Such a beautiful, relaxing place with friendly knowledgeable staff. We would definitely recommend this tour. We had a perfect day.
Perry, our driver was amazing. Professional, informative and fun.
We had an amazing day from pick up with free coffee to delicious winery lunch at Green Olive to relaxing afternoon at the springs. Highly recommend this tour, our guide Sheldon was friendly, informative and helpful all day. This is my second time on this tour and I enjoyed it just as much. 😀
Great tour. I liked the combination of lunch with wine tasting, and the amazing hot springs. I recommend this tour.
Great day relaxing in the hot spings. Although the weather was mixed, some sun some rain it didn't affect the activity. There are plenty of pools to explore. Towels robes and even swim wear are available to hure. If you take your own robes and towels, make sure your robe is a towelin one. Ours weren't so clung to us rather than keeping us warm between pools. If you are going as a couple using seperate male female changing, hire a locker each tk make life easier. You can take phones/camaras in to pay for food and take selfies, but make sure you dont capture images of others when taking photos.
Russell was an incredible guide and we really enjoyed the trip to the winery and the hot springs! It was great way to spend the day and would recommend to others!
To start with the driver Perry didn’t advised about the Barista coffee, we had to ask. Additionally there was no signage for us to know which bus was ours. The day seemed all go but in the same sentence no timing structure. Perry slept in the van whilst we attended wineries. Wineries were ok, very disappointed by ten minutes by tractor for their service and then we got to Port Leo and told nothing was covered, whilst we have no objection to paying additionally this stop should have been included or go somewhere else. Perry drove in a hurry, one hand on steering wheel whilst other arm on chair handle, pedal to the metal. Green olive farm winery and Crittedon winery were amazing.
Great Hot-Spring experience, our time there flew past as we moved from pool to pool. We were given an overview of what to expect by our excellent tour guide, Nathan, who drove us out from Melbourne. Nathan was great, with his commentary during the journey, relaying facts about the local areas we passed through.
Jordan was a fantastic guide and super friendly.
Spending the day exploring the wineries of the Mornington Peninsula, tasting some excellent local wines and taking in the stunning scenery was an experience in itself. Finishing the day soaking in the thermal pools at Peninsula Hot Springs was the perfect way to relax and recharge.
Great tour. Well planned out and well communicated throughout the day. The sites were amazing including the beautiful winery for lunch and the amazing hot springs. Perry our tour guide was fantastic!
Amazing experience, perfect amount of time at each destination. Food was delicious and the Hot Springs were stunning. Our tour guide Mike was great too!
Jordy and the team made the whole experience incredible. Will definitely be booking again. Hopefully Jordan is along for the trip ❤️ Jordan is truly an asset, he made the whole tour an experience and your enjoyable,
We just had a wonderful trip with professional & super nice tour guide! The hot spring is really relaxing, clean and recommend all to go!
Russell was lovely and warm and fantastic!! Super knowledgeable of the history of the area, great mix of leaving us to our own devices but also helping direct us, punctual and did his best to accomodate to everyones requirements :)
Our tour guide Shelton was great! Very informative and the hot springs were amazing. Would recommend. 3 hours at the hot springs was great for exploring and relaxing
Great tour filling the day with three different settings. Guide Perry was great, informative and friendly. Drive out to Arthur's seat was comfortable. Great views. Wine tasting and lunch at Green Olive was excellent. Topped of with a nice relaxing sit in thermal pools at the spa. Would reccomend upgrading the spa to get the no children area! Three activities at a nice gentle pace and a great guide aswell. Recommend.
We booked this trip not knowing what to expect and it was delightful. Our tour guide, Ned, was awesome. He was knowledgeable, friendly, on time, and played great music on the ride ☺️ We first stopped at Arthur’s Peak high above Phillip’s Bay to take in the views and do a small hike through eucalyptus and bay leaf trees to meet up with Ned again who then drove us to the winery for lunch which was fabulous. The atmosphere at the winery was laid back and relaxing as we ate yummy food and sipped wine. Ned returned to the winery to pick us up and shuttle us to the Peninsula Hotsprings where we enjoyed several hours of exploring different hot (and cold!) pools in a beautiful setting. I would book this trip again in a heartbeat - it was an exceptional day.
Really nice combination of sites, food/wine, and the very relaxing hot springs. Russell was a great guide along the way!
This was a lovely way to unwind - the wine and lunch were nice and tasty, and the hot springs were a great place to unwind. I had Jenny as a guide, big fan - she was friendly and informative
We had a fantastic time on this tour—it covered several great spots in just one day. We traveled on a new, comfortable coach, which made the journey even more enjoyable. Jenny, our driver and guide, was friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making sure everyone was comfortable and having a great time. She really helped make the experience feel special. We would definitely recommend this tour to our friends.
The experience was great even when weather was not optimal. Jenny was our guide and she was simply fabulous! She personally reached out to us via phone because we disembarked our ship late (due to immigration). She stayed in touch the whole way through disembarkation and although the company wasn’t willing to reschedule us, she waited for us at the port. She was a Godsend especially when we were so stressed about not making it on time. IF ARRIVING VIA CRUISE SHIP FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY BEWARE THAT IMMIGRATION CAN TAKE 1- 2HRS. The family owned winery had fabulous wine (think…Pinot Grigio and Pint Noir) and the food was delish and quite a large platter. The Peninsula Hot Springs were excellent! I say spring for the upgrade and then you don’t have to worry about a thing and you’ll have access to an adults only private area. What started out as a stressful day for us, ended on a fun and relaxing note. I contribute that to Jenny!
We loved our tour to the Peninsula Hot Springs and lunch with a wine tasting flight at Green Olive winery! Our guide Ned was knowledgeable, fun, and graciously took a photo of us at the winery. Would recommend this tour to others!
A great tour for a relaxing day. Our tour guide, Sheldon kept us informed of trip details and provided us with a coffee at our pickup point. A very nice place at the Art Gallery. He wad on time and greeted us with friendship and cheerfulness. Our vehicle was very clean, spacious, and comfortable. Sheldon was very knowlegable about ths area that we drove through. We made several stops to view the beauty of the countryside. We wefe never rushed...just a nice comfortable pace. The winery that we toured was beautiful and had a wonderful lunch. We then went to the hot springs where we had three hours to soak in the many varied pools. The area was so rslaxing and beautiful. We ended the day at our pickup point happy and content.
Nathan was a great driver / host. Had an issue with the van (maybe time for an upgrade) but he handled it like a pro and we missed nothing. The thermal springs were amazing. Definitely worth the upgrade for the dream package as our area was much calmer and less crowded.
Great tour loved the Wine Tour the lunch was amazing The gondola ride was fun Jordan was a great tour guide
Jenny was a lovely guide and driver. We enjoyed most things about the tour. Lunch was very good but it really wasn’t great wine, perhaps not showing off the better wines made on the peninsula. The other downside for us was the time at the thermal pools. It was about an hour too long for us. Can’t take much more than two hours sitting in hot water! I’d also recommend going on a weekday as the pools were very crowded on a Sunday.
Ned was an excellent guide and a safe driver! I loved the natural hot springs and had an amazing day.
A very relaxing trip. The pools were beautiful and relaxing. The winery lunch was pleasant. Our driver/guide was very nice and attentive. It was a pleasure talking to him throughout the trip.
Awesome environment where we enjoyed ourselves very much, including lunch and wine. The trip was great
The guide Perry was wonderful. I enjoyed the other travellers company. Perfect day trip from Melbourne.
We had an amazing day. The winery was beautiful and lunch was fantastic. The Thermal springs were beautiful, relaxing and really enjoyable. We would definitely do this tour again. Our tour guide was fabulous, he went above and beyond to make everyone’s day perfect.
Three key areas: a look around Arthur's chair. Take the Gondola; even though it is an additional cost, the view is spectacular! Lunch with the wine paddle was delicious. I had the lamb, which was juicy. I wasn't sure what to expect with the hot springs. Expansive site with many places to relax apart from the spring pools - it may be worth looking over the site's webpage prior to the day trip. I had the Dreaming package, which included towels and robe hire in a quieter area of the springs. Having been to another spa center in the Brisbane hinterland, this seemed a very pared-back experience, although you could purchase a range of drinks and foods. The pools were relaxing, the sauna steamy, and it was a lovely way to pass an afternoon. Mike, our host, was wonderful, sharing a range of historical and personal anecdotes that kept the day flowing and us laughing.
What a great day with Mike! We covered a lot of ground - winery was fabulous, lunch there was yummy! It was a cooler day which made the hot springs that much more enjoyable! Book this day trip - you will love it!!! Thanks Mike - you were a terrific host/driver!
Enjoyed scenic overlook of the city, delicious lunch (veggie plate was so fresh), wine, and afternoon at the hot springs. Recommend walking around the hot springs first while you are still dry to see all of the options before jumping in.
It was a fun day but not exactly a ‘tour experience.’ We didn’t ‘learn’ anything. The views were beautiful and the food and wine (I was told as I don’t drink wine) were good but no one talked to us about the wines. The spa areas are nice but many of the pools are too crowded. It would be nice if the driver would have shared information about the spas and winery. Not a ‘bad’ day but could have been more meaningful.
Wine tasting and lunch are much casual, served as touristic quick lunch. Hot spring is really good. It does not worth for such high price.
What an amazing experience! The Mornington Peninsula Thermal Springs tour was the ideal combination of relaxation, great food and stunning scenery. Our first stop was Arthur’s Seat, offering panoramic views of the coastline. Lunch was at a lovely winery with delicious grazing options and the wines were divine. The final destination, Peninsula Hot Springs, was absolutely amazing such a beautiful setting with a variety of thermal pools to enjoy. Our guide was friendly, well-organised and made sure the day ran seamlessly. It was such a refreshing and memorable outing, would highly recommended.
Thank you Theresa for a lovely and relaxing day. Recommend paying for the upgrade so you’re in a more secluded part of the hot springs. Worth the upgrade. Beautiful and they’ve expanded the hot springs and grounds since I visited 13+ years ago.
The trip includes a stop at Arthur’s seat - great view of the peninsula, a nice lunch and wine tasting albeit quite rushed which was a shame as it was a lovely place and then 3.5 hours at the thermal pools. This felt too long for us - it was busy, lots of young families so felt a little frantic for a spa
The trio hadn’t been described as it actually was. there was no authentic wine tasting- we got 4 glasses on a padel and a card describing the wines. Nothing about the process, the soil, the climate and we were there for one hour only. There were also added costs, the cable car - there was a 45 minute queue and we could have had tickets bought in advance and done fast track, which would have given us more time at the vineyard. The thermal springs also had add on costs of the bundle which the tour guide recommended we paid for. We had upgraded to the dreamy spa which was a good option as the spa was packed Would not recommend this package. To long in the bus to get to the venues and in between travelling to each place Also Jenny the bus driver took two wrong turns and we had to turn back, and also had not pre-ordered lunch so had to take our lunch orders about four times as she kept on forgetting them and was not able to input to her phone
This was an all day trip, 10am pick up and return to melbourne 6.50pm. Two centres being a olive and wine producer, where we had wine tasting and delicious food platter; and then the afternoon at Peninsula Hot Springs which was picturesque and relaxing. Mike, our driver and guide, was friendly, helpful and a good driver. He promised us that his job was to make sure that all 20 participants were happy and relaxed enough to sleep on the drive home and he certainly managed that. Highlights of the tour included a short stop at Arthur's Seat for photos; would have loved to get on the cable 🚡 in either direction, so maybe this could be added to the itinerary? The winery, Greenolives, was in a lovely setting and even the sad melbourne weather didn't dampen our spirits. Each of us could choose a wine paddle of 4 tastings and a food platter. My husband and I chose 1 x mixed wine; 1 x red wine; 1 x lamb platter and 1 x cheese platter. The food was delicious and nicely presented. The wines were good and we purchased a bottle to go. The only issue was that the tables were not wide enough for both wine and food for the number of guests sitting on each table. The Peninsula Hot Springs is a lovely relaxing setting, and once we had hired a robe, towel and locker ($25 each per bundle) we changed into swimwear and headed out to the pools. Considering our trip was on Xmas Eve, I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't busier. Spectacular views and lovely Hot pools definitely helped us to relax 😌. We really enjoyed our day and would recommended it to fellow travellers. Thanks Angela and Mike
Fantastic experience. Lunch at the winery was superb and the time at the hotel springs was very pleasurable. A well organised trip and our guide Perry was a top guy.
Such an incredible day was had by myself and my friend. Thank you so much for connecting us with an incredible tour guide who was knowledgeable and funny and accommodating. Loved every minute of it.
Great day out - varied, informative- something for both of us. Great view from Arthur’s seat (chair lift is additional but worth it), tasty grazing lunch, fun wine tasting, relaxing spa afternoon, Top guide and driver - thanks Jordan. Highly recommended.
Friendly guide and good hot springs though felt too long. Would be good to have more history and commentary for the rest of the tour vs simply the Melbourne. Furthermore, wifi wasn't working and though the guide said it was possible to upgrade your regular package, the hot springs staff said that is not true.
Very happy with the experience… 100% recommended, food and wine were excellent. The hot springs are stunning… I went with my mom and at the end we both felt relaxed and renovated, will definitely go again… Tour guide was kind and helpful and looked after us during the whole trip, thank you Yuri
Really great experience, wish it was as private as the social media makes it out. Very busy spot, but will return. Thanks
Our tour guide, Sue, was amazing! Very knowledgeable about all the locations, as well as the journey to and from Melbourne. The lunch and wine tasting were absolutely delicious, and the hot springs are definitely worth a visit!
