What to expect
You'll be picked up from your chosen Melbourne location and driven south to the Peninsula. The Moonlit Sanctuary forms the centrepiece—an open-range park where you'll interact directly with Australian fauna. Beyond that, expect a mix of bushland trails, coastal stops and scenic drives between the six sites. Your guide reads the group and adjusts pace accordingly; there's no herding or rigid timing. Bring sunscreen and a hat for the exposed sections. The picnic dinner happens towards evening, typically outdoors with views of the Peninsula.
Good to know
