The Arthurs Seat Eagle is one of the best things to do on the Mornington Peninsula. Just an hour and a half from Melbourne, you start at the base station in Dromana, head up on a gondola through the treetops to the summit of Arthur’s Seat, and take in some of the most stunning views of Port Phillip Bay.
