5.Peninsula Hot Springs & Bathing Boxes Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 124 reviews · 9h 30m · from $130

Spend four hours at Peninsula Hot Springs, then visit Arthur’s Seat and the Mornington Peninsula’s famous beach boxes.

Entry and a towel are included, but food, drinks, treatments, and classes cost extra.

“Gina our driver was most charming and knowledgeable. Lots of fun and entertained the group with her anecdotes and music. The spa was beautiful and we were lucky to have a sunny windless day although the weather was only 18C it made the hot spas even more enjoyable. The only downside was that the spa reception didn’t explain you could link your payment card to your locker wrist strap - knowing this would have saved hassle with phone payments in the wet environment. Overall a wonderful day out with the benefit of a bit of sightseeing we wouldn’t have managed alone.”
