Overview

Get out of the city and spend a relaxing, peaceful day in nature in the beautiful Dandenong Ranges, less than an hour from Melbourne.

Discover majestic ancient forests on a leisurely walk, learn about local flora and fauna, and if luck is on your side, you might even spot an elusive wild Lyrebird. Enjoy a wholesome lunch at a charming local village restaurant. Afterwards, explore the mystical clay sculptures seamlessly blended into the forest at William Ricketts Sanctuary, and visit the Dandenong Ranges Botanic Garden showcasing the award-winning Chelsea Australian Garden.

Guided by a local expert, this experience is 100% private to your booking—no strangers, no large tour buses, and no rigid timelines. Designed specifically as an intimate, relaxing day out for couples and small groups.
