Ever fancied combining the thrill of horseback riding with the zen of hot springs? Welcome to the Beach & Bathe Adventure at Gunnamatta Trail Rides, where your adventure begins on horseback and ends in pure relaxation.
Kick off your escapade with their signature St. Andrews Beach Ride. Traverse the scenic coastal bushland of the Mornington Peninsula, where the local wildlife might just give you a nod of approval. Feel the sea breeze as you trot along the golden sands of St. Andrews Beach, watching surfers attempt to look cool.
After two hours of channeling your inner cowboy or cowgirl, it's time to unwind. Head over to the Peninsula Hot Springs, where a 4-hour pass awaits. Soak those saddle-weary muscles in mineral-rich pools and contemplate life's big questions, like why you don't do this every weekend.
