Outdoor activities

Immerse yourself into Mornington Peninsula's welcoming waters and groomed golf courses with an array of adventure activities to boost your adrenaline. 

Dive deep for adventure
Find the action on the water and deep in it, at the end of a fishing rod, in a sea kayak, diving amongst shipwrecks, or on thrilling horseback rides along the beach. 

Swim at calm sandy beaches along the peninsula's 260 kilometres of coastline and come face-to-face with dolphins, seals and penguins. Ride the waves at wild ocean beaches, set sail from one of dozens of piers or cycle along beachfront paths. Skim across protected waters kite surfing or soar above them parasailing. 

Away from the water
When you're not getting active around the water, admire pristine seascapes as you play a round of golf at one of the 19 renowned golf courses, or as you embark upon an epic walk right across the peninsula. 

Ask the experts
If you're curious about trying any of the peninsula's outdoor activities, contact a local activity operator for professional tuition, organised tours and perhaps a Mornington Peninsula secret or two.
