Paddleboard and Hike, Full Day - Mornington Peninsula

Launch onto Port Phillip Bay at McCrae for a stand up paddleboarding session that kicks the day off right. A certified instructor gets you up to speed on technique and safety before you spend around an hour and a half out on the water, reading the swell, finding your balance and scanning the coastline for dolphins while the Peninsula stretches out in every direction.

The action moves to land with a guided nature hike covering three to five kilometres of coastal or rainforest trails. Your guide leads the way through terrain where kangaroos and echidnas are a regular sighting, and when conditions allow, the route drops into hidden natural rock pools for a wild swim. A clifftop picnic lunch of fresh local produce and native tea and coffee follows before the afternoon rounds out at the Peninsula Hot Springs, where geothermal pools and over 70 bathing experiences ease out the day's effort. A stop at a Red Hill winery caps things off on the way back. If you're after a day that actually delivers, book your spot.
