Overview

Get out of the city and spend a relaxing and peaceful day out in nature in the beautiful Dandenong Ranges which is less than an hour from Melbourne by road. Discover the majestic and ancient forests on a leisurely walk and spot wildlife. If we're lucky we might run into the beautiful and elusive Lyrebird. Learn about the flora and fauna, as well as the history and culture of our First Nations People who are the traditional custodians of the land. Enjoy a wholesome lunch at a homely and cosy restaurant. After lunch explore one of the beautiful gardens of the Dandenong Ranges or spend time in one of the quaint villages. This is a private tour for either a single person, or a couple or a family of 3, so can be customised on the day. Tour starts at 10.00am and finishes at around 4.30pm which means you don't have to get up early, and still have plenty of time in the evenings to do other things.

A perfect day with a great guide! I thought I had seen everything there was to see in Dandenong but I wanted my French friends to discover nature with a guide (Japanese garden, wild or native nature) and I don't regret it. Jay, a passionate guide, knows everything about this region and I discovered places I didn't know, including the Chelsea Australian Garden in Olinda, officially opened in June 2023. I will go back in a month and a half to admire the fall colors. Plus a very pleasant little restaurant where I will certainly return.
