WAM Adventure Picnics are back!

The best picnic locations are hidden in nature and the Mornington Peninsula has some absolute belters.

This is how our Secret Adventure Picnics work:
🍃 Choose between 4 very different routes to picnic locations in nature
🥾 Each route are different hike-in hike-out distances (from 3kms up to 15kms) to choose from
🗺️ WAM sends you a specially curated digital route map with coordinates to your secret picnic location
🧺 On the day you collect your delicious picnic, backpack, picnic mat etc from a beautiful farm gate on the #morningtonpeninsula
☀️Off you go on your self-guided adventure, take your time, enjoy nature and when you are done, return your picnic pack to the farm gate.

With the warmer weather kicking into gear, it’s perfect picnic conditions so we have just added new dates in time for the long-weekend next week!

It’s always great seeing our adventures come to life in an article after hosting a journalist earlier this year writing a story about Three Perfect Days in and around Melbourne.

Any of our North American friends may have read the story in the Hemispheres Magazine by @united Airlines as we adventured to magical and wild rock pools the size of swimming pools!

You can read the full article ‘Three Perfect Days Melbourne’ in the @hemispheresforunited site.

Or rather than reading about in the words of the journalist ‘I can’t believe this place exists’ adventures, come and experience them for yourself!

Thank you to @visitmelbourne @officialmorningtonpeninsula @australia for asking us to add a flavour of adventure and nature into this cuisine filled itinerary.

Today was a proud day for us.
We sponsored a tree planting event on the Mornington Peninsula with @mp_koalas to plant over 500 native trees and shrubs (ended up planting 850 trees!).
Part of our commitment as a purpose driven business is to have a long term positive impact so it’s crucial we support koala (and other native animals) habitat so that our wildlife has a future in this beautiful region for future generations to enjoy.
So special to spend the day with over 30 volunteers and to introduce our baby daughter to tree planting!
We plant a native tree for every WAM guest that books with us, so thank you to every person that has been on or booked a tour with us, and also those that chose to plant an extra tree when booking. It all makes a huge difference.
Thank you to @mp_koalas for having us. They are a volunteer run conservation group who plant native trees between May and September. You can support this amazing organisation by heading to mpkoalas.org.au and donating or you can also volunteer (it’s a great family day out) for their other tree planting events on the #morningtonpeninsula

Today is International Biodiversity Day 2023, so what better time to show one of the key projects WAM supports as part of the WAM 4 Project.
The Nature Conservancy Australia are restoring and rebuilding over 60 reefs in Southern Australia, regenerating entire ecosystems, and are also planting kelp forests, which as well as supporting countless marine life, filters the seawater and removes nitrogen and phosphate.
The reef in this beauitful footage is located Port Phillip Bay (Nairm) right by where WAM run our ocean adventures on the Mornington Peninsula so we are dedicated to helping to support and protect these waters by setting ambitious goals to restore of over an acre of reef by 2030.
Every time we welcome a WAM guest on an adventure tour with us, you are also contributing to amazing projects like this.

The added bonus of an ocean view only Australia can provide when an echidna pops up in the foreground.

Such fascinating and unique creatures so it’s always special seeing them in the wild.

Echidnas are also eco warriors as they spend huge amounts of time digging and moving soil which makes the soil healthier, reduces run-off and erosion, which all leads to more plant growth. Who would have thought these little guys are helping to fight climate change!
