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.

(Pass by)
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 is 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.
