    • Bike along Melbourne’s bustling bayside

      Embark on an unforgettable bike tour around Melbourne's bustling bayside suburbs where you'll have the opportunity to explore St Kilda, Elmwood, and Brighton. Your brilliant bicycle tour will take you to some of the most iconic landmarks and hidden gems of these bayside communities, including St Kilda's Botanical Gardens, Acland Street, Luna Park, and Brighton's Bathing Boxes, before stopping for tea and a snack at the Brighton Baths.

      Begin your adventure by cycling through the charming streets of St Kilda, where you'll discover the eclectic charm of this bohemian neighborhood. You'll stop at the St Kilda Botanical Gardens, a lush, green space that takes pride of place at the center of this city. Established in the 1800s, these gardens are home to many indigenous plant species, an ornamental pond, and greenhouses, making them a supremely serene sightseeing stop.

      The next stop on your day tour will immerse you in the eclectic vibe of Acland Street, known for its bustling cafes, quirky shops, and delectable treats. This downtown street is particularly renowned for its many European style cake shops, as well as the Palais Theatre, where visitors can catch a play, ballet or opera in the evenings. Your guided tour will also give you the chance to experience the nostalgia and thrill of Luna Park, an historic amusement park that has been delighting visitors of all ages for generations.

      Your bicycle tour continues along the captivating coast, stopping to enjoy breathtaking views of the beachside homes and the crystalline waters of Port Phillip Bay. Continue through Elmwood, with its long stretch of white sand that hugs the shoreline until you arrive at Brighton. Here, you'll notice the unmistakable and iconic Brighton Bathing Boxes. This row of uniformly proportioned but infinitely colorful beach huts has become an emblem of Melbourne's vibrant and quirky coastal vibe.

      Towards the end of your guided tour, you'll stop for a drink and snack at Brighton Baths, a beloved local spot boasting a terrace with unrivaled views of the bay's clear blue waters. This day tour will reveal everything Melbourne has to offer a short ride away from downtown, and as you cruise through the vibrant urban villages of St Kilda, Elmwood, and Brighton, you might just catch yourself feeling like a local!
