Less driving, more doing—experience the great southern coast without the long haul.
This rugged coastline rivals the Great Ocean Road for beauty, but offers a shorter, adventure-filled day that’s big on highlights and low on crowds.
Join us for a full-day journey through the Mornington Peninsula’s southern edge—combining clifftop walks, sweeping views, historic landmarks, beachside villages, and local flavour. Explore the historic and picturesque Point Nepean where you can bus, bike or walk the impressive coastline; unwind in Sorrento; and discover the coast’s best-kept secrets with a local guide and small group.
This is the perfect day trip for travellers who want impact over distance—natural beauty, local stories, and plenty of time to enjoy it all.

5.00Love the tour. We get to see the scenic road all the way to Mornington Peninsula. No rush yet very disciplined and punctual. We visited several spots and given enough time to explore on our own and take pictures. Mike and Rod are very great. Rod even gives us extra tour to Sorrento beach and shuttle bus round trip to the Gunnery. The tourguides explain and tell stories about the culture, history, and the beauty of Australia.

5.00The experience is great! But you do it alone. No guide actually accompanying you, he drives and drops you off at the main places. It is a good alternative to enjoy solo: walks, magnificent views, I recommend.
A personalized tour with Local Way Tours!

5.00Shelton was our guide and i have to give it to him for his superb knowledge about Australia! We picked up interesting facts from him which made the tour much more interactive. In addition, Shelton is a dedicated guide who will walk us to the various lookout points for the best views of the port Philip bay and the bass strait, instead of dropping us off and leaving us to explore on our own. This is something which we appreciated as a tourist who is not familiar with the surroundings!
Entertainingly educational and easy to enjoy

5.00Great small group tour with extremely knowledgeable and engaging tour guide, Mike. Learned a LOT about the history of the area, while enjoying some spectacular views along the coast, and short strolls to the key sites. There are many tours available through these operators and I wouldn’t hesitate to book another next time I’m down this way. I would recommend you call and talk with the team before choosing which tour, they will make sure you pick one that suits you!
