Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the two tour options?
The standard tour follows a food-and-wine trail: wine tasting at The Cups Estate, chocolate tasting, a included lunch at Flinders Bakehouse Cafe, and stops at Flinders Lookout, Mock Red Hill, and Sunny Ridge Strawberry Farm. The hot springs variant replaces those stops with time at Peninsula Hot Springs (over 20 bathing experiences), and lunch is at your own expense at Bath House Cafe. Both tours visit Sunny Ridge Strawberry Farm and Murray's Lookout.
Is lunch included on both tours?
Lunch is included only on the standard Mornington Peninsula Tour, at Flinders Bakehouse Cafe. On the Peninsula Hot Springs variant, lunch is at your own expense at Bath House Cafe.
Where exactly does the tour depart from?
The tour departs from the Melbourne Day Tour Centre at 08:25. There is no hotel pick-up — you need to make your own way to the departure point.
Do I need to print my ticket?
No. A mobile ticket on your phone is accepted. Simply show your booking confirmation when you board.
How long is the tour?
The tour runs from 08:25 to approximately 17:30, making it a full day of around nine hours.
Is the tour suitable for children?
The standard tour — with strawberry picking, chocolate tasting, and scenic lookouts — is well suited to families with children. The hot springs variant is more adult-focused; check Peninsula Hot Springs' own age guidelines before booking.
