Melbourne Day Trips, Door to Door
Ten ways to spend a day. One private driver. Fixed price.

Pick your day
Each tour is hand-built for a different kind of traveller — couples and wine lovers, families with kids and grandparents, hikers and photographers. Filter by what suits you, then dive into a full stop-by-stop itinerary.
Great Ocean Road & Twelve Apostles
The world-famous coastal drive — surf coast, koalas, and limestone cathedrals at sunset.
Best for first-time visitors and photographers chasing the iconic Twelve Apostles shot.
Phillip Island Penguins & Wildlife
Little Penguins parading at sunset, koalas at eye-level, and Australian heritage on a working farm.
Built for families with kids — short transfers, animal encounters, and a guaranteed sunset wow.
Yarra Valley Wineries & Healesville Sanctuary
Cellar doors of the world's best cool-climate Pinot, paired with iconic native wildlife.
Designed for couples and small groups who want to taste serious wine without worrying about the drive home.
Mornington Peninsula Hot Springs & Coastal Loop
Geothermal soaking, lighthouse cliffs, and Sorrento village in one slow, sun-soaked day.
A couples' restorative day — hot mineral springs, cliff-top lighthouses, slow lunches.
Dandenong Ranges Forest & Puffing Billy
Steam train through fern gullies, towering mountain ash, and a high-tea finish in Olinda.
A grandparents-with-grandkids classic — short drives, a real steam train, and giant trees.
Sovereign Hill Gold Rush & Ballarat Heritage
A working 1850s gold-mining town, the birthplace of Australian democracy, and lake-side gardens.
Time-travel for school-age kids and history nerds — costumed actors, gold panning, and the Eureka story.
Macedon Ranges & Hanging Rock Mystery
The site of Australia's most haunting story, plus boutique vineyards and a memorial mountain.
For literature and landscape lovers — the eerie volcanic outcrop made famous by Picnic at Hanging Rock.
Daylesford & Hepburn Springs Wellness Retreat
Australia's spa capital — mineral baths, lavender farms, lake walks, and antique-village ease.
A pure decompression day — for couples on holiday, mums-and-daughters, or quietly-tired professionals.
Wilsons Promontory Wilderness Escape
The southernmost tip of mainland Australia — squeaky white sand, granite peaks, and roaming wombats.
For active hikers chasing the mainland's most pristine beaches and a Mt Oberon panorama.
Bellarine Peninsula Lighthouses & Wineries
Heritage seaside villages, two working lighthouses, and the Bellarine's award-winning Pinot.
A coastal-meets-cellar-door alternative to the Mornington Peninsula, with two centuries of lighthouse history.

Frequently asked
What is included in the tour price?
The price covers your private chauffeured vehicle for the full duration of the tour, all fuel, all tolls, GST, and bottled water on board. You pay separately for any meals, attraction entry tickets, and cellar-door tasting fees mentioned in the itinerary.
Is the price per person or per vehicle?
Per vehicle — not per person. A sedan price covers up to 4 passengers, an SUV up to 4 with extra luggage capacity, and a maxi van up to 11. The total is the same whether you travel solo or as a full group.
Where do you pick up from?
Door-to-door from any Melbourne CBD hotel or apartment by default. We can also pick up from St Kilda, South Yarra, Fitzroy, Docklands, and inner suburbs at no extra cost. Pickups from outer suburbs may add a small transfer fee — quoted upfront.
Can the itinerary be customised?
Yes. Every tour shown is a starting point — tell us your interests, mobility needs, dietary restrictions, or specific places you want to add or skip, and we will reshape the day around you. The price stays the same as long as the total hours and route distance are similar.
How far in advance should we book?
For weekends and school holidays, book 7–14 days ahead so we can secure attraction entries (Penguin Parade, Sovereign Hill, Hot Springs) at your preferred times. Weekday tours can usually be confirmed within 24 hours.
What happens if it rains?
Most tours run rain or shine — Melbourne weather is notoriously changeable, and indoor stops (galleries, sanctuaries, cellar doors) work in any weather. For genuinely dangerous conditions (storms, bushfire warnings) we will offer a full reschedule or refund.
Not sure which tour to pick?
Tell us who's travelling — ages, interests, mobility — and we'll suggest the right day. Two minutes on the phone, no obligation.
