Soon after meeting your guide in central Melbourne, hop aboard the vehicle with your small group of no more than three people and listen to informative commentary from your guide as you journey into the Dandenong Ranges.
The first stop is William Ricketts Sanctuary, where you enjoy a serene walk through the forest and admire Aboriginal sculptures. Discover the inspiration behind the pieces and learn a bit about the local culture.
Head to a local restaurant for a delicious, wholesome meal before driving into the mountains. Make your way to the quiet fern tree forest and walk amongst the eucalyptus trees, appreciating the serenity and beautiful scenery while keeping an eye out for the elusive, ground-dwelling lyrebird.
Return to Melbourne in the late afternoon, leaving plenty of time to rest up and enjoy your evening in the city.
