About this tour
This nine-hour Mornington Peninsula loop combines three distinct experiences: hand-feeding kangaroos and meeting koalas at Moonlit Sanctuary, tasting wines among contemporary sculptures at Point Leo Estate, then soaking in geothermal pools at Peninsula Hot Springs. You'll ride the Arthur's Seat Eagle Gondola for coastal views and finish with either a sunset panorama or evening wildlife spotting. The day blends active animal encounters, viticulture, and thermal relaxation across the peninsula's varied terrain.
Highlights
- Hand-feed eastern grey kangaroos at Moonlit Sanctuary
- Meet koalas in their enclosure setting
- Ride the Arthur's Seat Eagle Gondola for elevated views
- Taste wines among sculpture installations at Point Leo
- Soak in geothermal mineral pools at Peninsula Hot Springs

What to expect
You'll start at Moonlit Sanctuary, where staff guide you through direct interactions with native marsupials in a park setting. The gondola ride takes about 10 minutes each way, offering expansive southern views. Lunch isn't provided, so budget time at Point Leo's cellar door, where you'll walk the sculpture park between tastings. The thermal pools session runs roughly 90 minutes—bring swimmers and a towel. Your guide will offer a choice for the final hour: either a designated lookout for sunset colours or a short drive to kangaroo habitat for evening activity.
Good to know
Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring swimmers plus a change of clothes. The thermal waters are 38–42°C year-round. Pack lunch or eat en route; Point Leo has a café but it's separate from the tasting experience. Pregnant travellers and those with heart conditions should skip this tour. Prams are welcome at Moonlit Sanctuary.
