Highlights

Less driving, more doing—experience the great southern coast without the long haul. This rugged coastline rivals the Great Ocean Road for beauty, but offers a shorter, adventure-filled day that’s big on highlights and low on crowds. Join us for a full-day journey through the Mornington Peninsula’s southern edge—combining clifftop walks, sweeping views, historic landmarks, beachside villages, and local flavour. Explore Cape Schanck and Point Nepean, unwind in Sorrento with a complimentary drink, and discover the coast’s best-kept secrets with a local guide and small group. This is the perfect day trip for travellers who want impact over distance—natural beauty, local stories, and plenty of time to enjoy it all.
