Had a great experience at the Peninsula Hot Springs. The drive to the Hot Springs was amazing with a strong air-conditioned bus with shutters on the windows. Tour guide was friendly and provided great detail about Melbourne.
The hot springs itself was amazing. The place is just beautiful with the hot springs overlooking some of the most beautiful nature scenery. For 3.5 hours, we did a lot at the hot spring and would recommend anyone to do it.
After the hot springs, the tour guide took us on a few tour locations which we didn't expect but appreciate the effort.

Great hot spring in nature! Just keep warm while walking around and exploring! Make sure you have enough time to rest and relax or have a coffee too!

Easy pick up, comfortable bus and very pleasant and cheerful driver - Stewart. 5 hours maybe just a little bit too long in the spa but then it was our 2nd visit so we knew what to expect
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Thank you for your lovely review! We’re delighted to hear that you had a relaxing time on the Peninsula Hot Springs and Beach Boxes Day Trip. It’s great to know that the pick-up was smooth, the bus was comfortable, and that Stewart helped make the experience even more enjoyable with his cheerful attitude.

We hope to welcome you back again soon for another relaxing day out.

You don’t need to rent the locker, they made me and said I’m not allowed to walk around with a bag, but guess what everybody was walking around with their bag. It’s like a nature preserve. There’s lots of places you put your bag down in the bush beside one of the pools and have a lovely soak. I loved it there. I had an amazing time, space I did the mud thing it was great especially for $20.
Also want to give a special shout out to our lovely tour guide of the day on this tour Mathew he was fabulous!
Response from Host, Feb 2025
Thank you for your wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear you had an amazing time at the Peninsula Hot Springs and enjoyed the mud experience. We appreciate your feedback on the locker situation and will take it into consideration. A special thanks for recognising Mathew—he will be so pleased to hear your kind words! We look forward to welcoming you back soon!

Kinda pricey for a short trip to peninsula, but overall the hotspring is to die for. It is recommended to go 1 night stay in the hotspring to enjoy and relax even more

the peninsula hot spring was amazing, a true day of relaxation, the tour guide Maigread was very friendly.
Kevin_H, Oct 2023
Hot springs were amazing. Other experiences were not great. One should do only the hot springs tour and not waste money on others
Sylvia, Oct 2023
Most comfortable and stress free relaxing experience for my wife and I in recent years, would highly recommend, but don’t go on weekends or school holidays

Journey there and back. The driver's concern for informing guests.
Cafe foods and drinks were delicious

Spas well landscaped & pleasant. Facilities very clean & modern. Helpful staff. Only 1 cafe open which made the wait for food very slow. Otherwise very nice. ✅
Response from Host, Jun 2023
Thank you for your review! We're glad you enjoyed our well-maintained facilities and friendly staff. Sorry for the wait caused by the limited cafe options. We are glad you enjoyed your day with Explore Australia Tours
Eileen_G, Apr 2023
The hot spring was most relaxing. And the lookout view of Geelong, Mornington Peninsula and Melbourne was just incredible. I would hope that the trip would have more stop time at the top so we can experience taking the cable car down.
Response from Host, Jun 2023
Thank you for your review! We're glad to hear that you found the hot spring relaxing and enjoyed the incredible lookout view. Thank you for your feedback about the stop time into consideration as we continue to improve our tours.

Amazing place to spend the day .
The water is very warm.
And you have many choices warmest or cooler pools

Thank you for choosing to spend your day with us, Federica! We're so glad you enjoyed the Peninsula Hot Springs which has over 50 different bathing experiences, it is such a great way to relax and unwind. We hope to welcome you back soon!
Emma_G, Aug 2022
As soon as I hopped on the bus with tour guide Matthew I knew it would be a good time. Had good banter and even took us a little bit further to find some kangaroos on our way to the hot springs. Spotted one! Spent about 4 hours at the hot springs and time went so quick even by myself. Would’ve been a bit better if we could’ve booked into the sauna/massage as otherwise you just went around the site changing pools. However I had a massive relaxation and great chats with other guests there. Hill top pool always busy and small but still worth it. Everything on time and then we headed to the bathing boxes, pretty ones. Would recommend!
Response from Host, Aug 2022
Hi Emma,
We're glad you enjoyed your time with your guide Matthew on the tour and got to see some kangaroos too! The hot springs are definitely a highlight for many of our guests. We're sorry you didn't have more time to enjoy the sauna/massage but hopefully you were still able to relax a little bit. Thanks for choosing Explore Australia Tours and we hope to see you again soon!
Rica_B, Aug 2022
This trip is as described +100x better with our tour guide, Matthew! He shared a lot of informative and fun facts around Melbourne and throughout our journey, as well as provide great entertainment for the long ride. The hot springs itself was so relaxing, and not too busy when we visited, so we managed to out all the pools we wanted as well as the saunas and steam baths. Turkish bath and hilltop pool would we our highlight!
Towels were provided, locker and robe hires were available and at a decent price too.
Would 1000% recommend if you’re looking for a more chill out day - highly recommend Matthew, would not disappoint!
Response from Host, Aug 2022
Thank you for choosing to travel with Explore Australia, Rica_B! I am so glad to hear that you enjoyed your time with our tour guide, Matthew. He is truly passionate about Melbourne and showing it off to our guests. I know he will be thrilled to hear of your compliments.
It sounds like you made the most of the hot springs--I'm glad you found them relaxing and not too busy. Our Turkish bath and hilltop pool are definitely some of our guests' favorites!
We hope to welcome you back on another one of our tours soon!
Naiomi_F, Jun 2022
Excellent experience but guests need to be aware of the whole spa. We didnt know there was another side to the spa or how to get there
Response from Host, Jun 2022
Thanks for the 5-star review Naiomi! We are glad you enjoyed your tour with us and hope you had a relaxing day. Guests are supplied with a map of the Hot Springs on entry as there are over 50 different global bathing experiences. It seems that you weren't given one that day - I do apologise and will follow up to ensure our guests are given maps on arrival so they are able to plan their day.
Hope to see you again!

Thanks for your review Jenni! The Hot Springs is such an enjoyable experience during the cooler months. Glad you had a wonderful day out..
Hea_K, May 2022
It was cloudy&windy day.I don't mind paying more for bath robe so guide should recommend to get it.Otherwise beautiful hot springs and plenty time to explore the different pools.Your trip money should include the robe.Thanks.
Response from Host, May 2022
Hello Hea_K,
Thanks for your feedback although the bathrobe is not included in the tour we do include a towel for your convenience. What better way to spend your day on a cloudy & windy day than soaking in Hot Springs ♨️

Polly

Thanks for the review Tracey! The Peninsula Hot Springs is a great day out to unwind and truly relax. Next time join us on a Food & Wine experience🍷
Hadas_R, Nov 2019
The hot springs are lovely and well maintained. Beautiful view. I was a bit disappointed that all the pools were pretty much the same (with small temperature differences) so we basically got bored after an hour or so.
Response from Host, Dec 2019
Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback!. Glad to hear your enjoyed the views and gardens however we are disappointed to hear your experience of the Hot Springs did not live up to your expectations.
The Peninsula Hot Springs offers over 50 globally-inspired experiences including thermal mineral pools, reflexology walk, Turkish hamam, sauna, cold plunge pools, hydrojet pool and aquatherapy pool.
We hope you are able to join us on another tour such as our Mornington Peninsula Sightseeing & Bay Cruise which visits a number of other attractions.
