What You Will Do
A comprehensive, all-inclusive, nature tour which will expose you to the sun, sand, wild animals, nature walks and the Australian bush. Experience each of these in this 6 hour nature extravaganza that covers six locations.
The highlight of the tour is the Moonlit Sanctuary which is located on the Mornington Peninsula, about 60km from the Melbourne CBD. This location has been selected as the sanctuary of choice because of the ability for visitors to interact with Australian native animals. You will have the opportunity to pat and feed kangaroos and wallabies as well as see other native animals such as koalas, wombats, cockatoos, Aussie the Emu, and many more.
An Australian style picnic dinner is included.
As with all tours provided by 69 Tours, this is a private tour, which offers some room for flexibility, is never rushed, conducted in a relaxed, easy going fashion, by an experienced local guide. Experience Melbourne through the eyes of a local.

Luna Park Melbourne
Our first major attraction that we pass is Luna Park, a historic amusement park located on the foreshore of Port Phillip Bay in St Kilda. It might be that as we pass you will hear screams and yells coming from the riders of the Scenic Railway, which was opened in in December 1912 and is the oldest continually operating roller coaster in the world. If you see someone standing in between the carriages, don't worry! The Scenic Railway and one of three roller coasters in the world that has a brakeman who stands in the middle of the train. We can stop at Luna Park for a photoshoot, if you desire.

Customer Reviews
Peter - An excellent guide and a wealth of interesting information
2023-02-26
Peter was an excellent guide for this 6 hour incredible private tour of the Mornington Peninsula. He was a wealth of information and his passion for what he does was clear. We particularly enjoyed learning so much about the area and Australia generally. There was no question he couldn't answer for us. This was one of our highlights during our trip to Melbourne/Yarra Valley and I would recommend Peter to anyone with an interest in a comfortable and memorable private tour of the area. If we had had more time, we would definitely have booked another private tour with him - he mentioned a Melbourne at Night tour and The Great Ocean Road.
Excellent day with 69 Tours
2023-02-16
Peter of 69 Tours was the guide for our private tour. Excellent tour. Being the only two on the tour, Peter flexed the tour when he saw what we were interested in. For example, although the focus of the trip was the Moonlit sanctuary, when he saw our interest in some of the houses in Brighton , he made stops for photos and drove us into that area to see more. He stopped and took us to Brighton beach to photograph the painted beach houses / sheds.
The best part of the day was the Moonlit sanctuary. We got to feed and pet several kangaroos, including a large male and his mate . Also fed wallabies. Peter chose this sanctuary because it was a smaller one with fewer tourists,
resulting in a more intimate experience than the one in Healesville. We were there on a hot weekday when school was in session. Often times , we three were alone while touring the sanctuary.
After the sanctuary, Peter put us on the Eagle cable car up to Arthurs Seat. He drove off to get a traditional fish and chips picnic lunch while we rode up. He met us at the top at a picnic table. Instead of just water, Peter had a variety of drinks available for us. One tip, take more pictures from the cable car ride up. We had a car to ourselves, but thought we might get better views from the top. However the summit was overgrown with plants. Peter did stop on the drive back down for us to take additional pictures.
Due to being tired on a hot day, we passed on the bush walk.
Highly recommend this private nature tour!
