All About

Arthurs Seat to Kings Falls Walk

Highlights

Rising above the Mornington Peninsula, Arthurs Seat is the most familiar of all Port Phillip Bay landscape features. Its 314-metre summit, reached by road or on foot, gives spectacular views of the bay and Port Phillip Heads. On a clear day the view extends as far as the city skyline, the You Yangs and Mount Macedon.

This track starts in the Seawinds Garden featuring William Rickets sculptures, major lookouts, and the Seawinds Nursery Volunteer's indigenous garden. Follow the Two Bays Trail to the south until it intercepts the Kings Falls Track at Waterfall Gully Road. You can further extend this walk by including the pleasant one hour circuit walk around Kings Falls, or as part of the longer 26km Two Bays Trail.

Important Information

Guidelines

Always do some research before heading out for your journey. Visit the parks website for up to date information on the current conditions.
Always enjoy waterfalls from trails and marked viewing points. Do not climb over barriers as cliff edges and slippery surfaces may cause injury or death.
Only swim where permitted. Don’t jump from cliff edges into water bodies.
Swimming near or under waterfalls can be dangerous due to strong currents, submerged hidden rock ledges and other dangers. The force of a waterfall can be incredibly strong and unfortunately, many people have drowned. Follow warning signs and take caution.

Wear suitable footwear and ensure to bring a hat and sunscreen to protect yourself from the elements.
Plan ahead and ensure to take enough food and water for your journey.
Always stay on the marked tracks where possible. Never climb fences, they are there for your own safety.
