Exceptional guide, stunning locations, delicious food, and a uniquely memorable adventure. - Nick is truly exceptional! My husband and I were complete beginners at stand-up paddleboarding, but Nick’s patience and guidance made all the difference. We may have fallen in a few times, but it only added to the laughter and joy of the experience.
His extensive knowledge of the local area is impressive, and his dedication to preserving the environment and supporting local produce is inspiring. Nick led us to a secluded stretch of coastline with breathtaking views - an unforgettable highlight of the day.
The cosy picnic lunch in the back of the van was a delightful touch. The food was not only delicious but thoughtfully prepared, making it a perfect moment to unwind. We ended the day soaking in the hot pools at the Peninsula Hot Springs, the ideal way to relax after an adventure.
Nick’s genuine passion and enthusiasm make this experience truly unique. It’s more than just an activity—it’s a journey crafted with care and heart. If you’re looking for something special, this is it!

Full day at Mornington Peninsula - Fun packed, full day! Really enjoyed Nick’s enthusiasm and the company’s dedication to their causes, some of which are environment and local businesses. Each activity was planned with purpose: enjoying nature that beautiful part of the world has to offer and encouraging local farms, wineries and businesses, in this case, hot springs. I feel like we’ve had a good taste of what the Mornington peninsula’s about and definitely recommend spending more time there!
Thank you WAM!

GO THERE! Amazing experiences, lots of learning, great mix of exercise and pampering. - Folks, GO THERE!! You will learn a lot of different things, from how SUP in the ocean, native fauna and flora on the walks and chats with your guide/owner Nick, and see unbelievable landscapes and ocean views. Plus, some pampering at the Peninsula spa and a wine tasting to celebrate your beautiful day. WAM is a B-Corp, so it’s a waste-free day and you contribute to local ecological projects.

Invigorating energizing and an excellent tour - Nic from WAM took us on a fantastic day touring around the Peninsula … first stop Fire and Ice experience at Peninsula Hot Springs which is an amazing experience and left us feeling energized and ready for our hike to the hidden rock pools. Nic was highly informative and explained the indigenous culture of this particular area and other highlights! A swim in the rock pool is a must crystal clear fresh ocean water to make anyone feel invigorated followed by a picnic lunch with foods from the local area. Then we hit the Hot Springs where we soaked in the various hot pools and relaxed .. we would highly recommend this tour to anyone especially international tourists but in saying that us Aussies should do this experience also. We are from the local
Area and thoroughly enjoyed our beautiful environment we live amongst and thanks to Nic and WAM appreciate our Peninsula even more .. we will be back for another tour later in the year or even do a wine tour with WAM .. thanks Nic and all the best 😀😀

An amazing adventure - An incredible experience filled with adventure! Our guide Coops was super nice and accommodating! He was filled with entertaining facts and his knowledge of the peninsula region really showed! We saw some amazing sights that we wouldn’t have been able to discover on our own! Thank you WAM team!

Stunning Hike and Picnic - We were gifted a secret adventure picnic and chose the Bay of Islands, Diamonds and Pirates option. We had an amazing time. We had confirmation a few days out and were advised of the best time to go to access the rock pool so we were able to organise ourselves in advance. We really enjoyed the hike and even though we are peninsula locals we had never been or would have discovered the area and especially not the picnic spot on our own. The directions were easy to follow though we did take the odd wrong turn we quickly realised and were able to get back on track. We were treated to lots of local wildlife and a lovely picnic lunch and swim. Highly recommend the experience.

Would recommend! - Great day that was really well thought through and organised. It was a full day with a lot of activities but it was still relaxing and didn’t feel rushed. Would recommend if you want to see the best of what the peninsula has to offer. Nic was a great guide and really knowledgeable about the area and has had a real effort to ensure the tour is as eco friendly as possible.
