Introducing a magical night from our After Dark series…
“Sturgeon Moon”
Join us for a soulful Full Moon hike to Bushrangers Bay, Cape Schanck, where rugged coastal trails, moonlight and gentle reflection come together for an unforgettable evening on the Mornington Peninsula.
As the sun dips below the horizon, we’ll begin our guided hike along the dramatic coastline of Bushrangers Bay – winding along clifftop paths before descending toward the bay, where basalt cliffs, ocean swell and moonlit rock platforms create a truly striking landscape, with the ocean beside us and the moon slowly rising overhead. The full moon is a time of illumination, release, and clarity – a natural pause to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with yourself and the landscape around you.
Midway through the hike, we’ll pause for our Full Moon Letting Go moment – a quiet, optional ritual designed to help you release what no longer serves you and step forward feeling lighter and more grounded. No pressure, no expectations – simply space to reflect, reset, and move with intention.
This is a relaxed, steady-paced hike, guided with care and presence, allowing time to take in the beauty of the coastline, the rhythm of the ocean, and the soft glow of moonlight along the trail.
