1. Peninsula Hot Springs Tour from Melbourne
Peninsula Hot Springs is the first natural hot spring & day spa center in Victoria. Natural thermal mineral waters flow into the pools and baths providing the idyllic setting for relaxation and rejuvenation. Like the historic and famous spa centres of Europe, Asia, America, and New Zealand, the natural hot springs in Rye on the Mornington Peninsula bring a blissful and healthy experience. The 50°C hot mineral rich spring water flows from an underground aquifer 637 metres below the surface into the many pools and baths. Relax and rejuvenate in the many bathing experiences, which include a cave pool, reflexology walk, hydrotherapy pool, thermal stream gully, thermal massaging showers, sauna, moon viewing pool, family pools, and more. Your tour includes morning access to the thermal pools and a delicious lunch with wine tasting at a local winery. Next, choose to either visit Sunny Ridge Strawberry Farm, where you can try your hand at picking strawberries between November and March (subject to fruit availability). Alternatively, visit Mornington Peninsula Chocolates to indulge in some locally produced sweet treats (available year round). Finish your day by taking in panoramic views of the peninsula and Port Phillip Bay with a ride on the Arthurs Seat Eagle Gondola.
