HIKE & DINE- 26KM TWO BAYS TRAIL & SAB

Explore the beautiful Mornington Peninsula's Two Bays Trail with a winter walk. A challenging yet achievable day hike exploring coast to coast, following the trail from McCrae to Cape Schank. Relax post-hike with new mates and enjoy dinner in an iconic stable at St Andrew's Brewery.

An 8am start from the Bunurong Track into the Arthurs Seat State Park for a heart-pumping climb to the Summit of Arthurs Seat. The winding track continues past the adjoining Kings Falls Track and leaves the State Park at Waterfall Gully Road. We walk through local streets, crossing small reserves before joining the Mornington Peninsula National Park section known as Greens Bush. As an experienced guide, this section is easily navigated.

Greens Bush is a rarely visited section of the Two Bays Trail walk. Its picturesque space holds the perfect place to rest, tuck into supplied lunch and enjoy a guided sensory meditation, designed to anchor you into a Mindfulness practice. Spot Kangaroos, echidnas, koalas, and kookaburras throughout our day and learn some history of the region as we traverse the trails.

The trail continues crossing small creeks and alongside Main Creek before crossing Boneo Road towards Bushrangers Bay on its way to Cape Schanck where our minibus awaits to drive us to St Andrew's Brewery for a celebratory dinner for post Hike Dinner is booked for 5:00 pm in the refurbished horse stables offering a unique atmosphere to celebrate our day hiking.
