Gondola Ride to the Peninsula's Highest Point (With Views You Can't Get Any Other Way)
The Arthurs Seat Eagle is a modern gondola system that takes you from Dromana base to the summit of Arthurs Seat—the highest point on the Mornington Peninsula. You're traveling smoothly and quietly over State Forest canopy with uninterrupted views across Port Phillip Bay from Melbourne to Point Nepean and beyond.
This isn't a thrill ride; it's a scenic transport experience that happens to offer spectacular perspectives you can't access by car or walking. The gondola moves steadily over Mornington Peninsula National Park, giving you aerial forest views on the way up and sweeping bay panoramas from the summit. The day return ticket means you can spend time at the top (lookouts, walking tracks, café) before riding back down.
What makes this genuinely accessible is the detachable gondola system, cabins slow down for easy boarding without stopping the whole line, which works brilliantly for families with prams, elderly passengers, or anyone with mobility challenges. You'll have both open and enclosed cabin options depending on weather and preference.
This one-way ticket will take you from the Base Station to the Summit Station OR from the Summit Station to the Base Station. This ticket type is suitable for people who are being picked up from the other station or who plan to walk the whole way back – be prepared for a LONG walk!
The ride gets you there, but plan time to actually enjoy the lookouts, grab food at the café, or explore the walking tracks radiating from the top. The value is in spending time at the summit, not just the gondola journey itself.
