About the tour
Overview
Enjoy a fantastic day on a Mornington Peninsula Private Family Tour for a day filled with fun, packed with adventure and wildlife experiences. We will tour to the rugged coastline and into the hills, relax and enjoy lunch in an olive grove, pick a dessert of strawberries straight from the farm or visit a local dairy for cheese tasting.
A highlight of this family tour is the visit to Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park on the Mornington Peninsula. Meet wombats, dingoes, emus, tasmanian devils and colourful native Australian birds. After your wonderful wildlife experience, you will then head up into the hills, where you will have a memorable lunch at either an olive grove or vineyard. Our Private Family Tours are customizeable, providing a flexible itinerary and many different tour options.
For dessert, you may want to try some of the delicious sorbets, strawberry infusions, or pick your own dessert straight from the Sunny Ridge Strawberry Farm. Strawberry picking is limited seasonally, between November and April.
To end the day, you will visit a very special place called Enchanted Adventure. Wander through the many mazes, attempt the Tree Surfing courses, ride the Tube Slides, stroll along the Canopy Walk and experience the magic of the many themed gardens, sculptures and interactive activities.
