**ITINERARY: **

Exhilarate your senses with a full-day visit to the award-winning coastal
oasis, Peninsula Hot Springs, located just 90 minutes from Melbourne. Unwind
and experience geothermal bathing in a stunning natural setting for some much-
needed relaxation, connection, and rejuvenation.

Peninsula Hot Springs offers over 50 global bathing experiences within its
Bath House—an ideal way to refresh your mind, body, and soul. Victoria's first
natural hot springs and spa, it’s easily accessible from Melbourne yet off the
beaten track, making it the perfect escape. In partnership with Peninsula Hot
Springs, we’ve launched an exclusive shuttle service to remove any added
stress, allowing you to sit back and fully enjoy your day trip getaway.

With skip-the-queue, exclusive entry, you’ll have plenty of time to indulge
yourself at the world-class Peninsula Hot Springs. Relax in the tranquil
setting, reconnect with nature, and rejuvenate in the mineral-rich waters. The
springs strive to create experiences that allow visitors to deeply unwind and
connect with themselves.

As you soak in the naturally healing thermal waters, let your worries melt
away. The experience is designed for all ages, with wellness options suitable
for both young and old. Cafes and kiosks offering healthy snacks are available
for purchase to keep you refreshed. After three hours of blissful relaxation,
we continue our journey.

After your rejuvenating time at Peninsula Hot Springs, we’ll head toward
Arthurs Seat, a perfect stop to further elevate your experience. The drive
from the springs takes you through the picturesque hinterland, passing
vineyards and scenic countryside, before we ascend to the top of Arthurs Seat.
This route ensures a safer, smoother journey, as we descend the hill with the
best vantage point on the Peninsula. From here, you’ll be treated to
breathtaking panoramic views of the Peninsula, and on clear days, you may even
spot the Melbourne city skyline across the bay.

Next, we’ll visit the iconic colourful beach boxes along the coastline, a
fantastic photo opportunity to capture the vibrant essence of the area before
making our way back to Melbourne. After a day filled with relaxation, nature,
and stunning views, we’ll return to the city, arriving around 3:00-3:30 pm,
feeling refreshed and recharged.
