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.

We have welcomed and adventured with hundreds of guests from all over the world and are so grateful to each and every person that has joined a WAM adventure.

Better still in doing so, you have helped us support the planting of hundreds of native trees @mp_koalas , restoring of reefs & kelp forests @nature_aus , supporting Indigenous girls and young women through education @starsfoundationaustralia , cleaned up many kilos of rubbish @seashepherdaustralia , as well as supporting many Australian eco-conscious small businesses, all whilst connecting with nature on epic human-powered outdoor adventures.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for believing in our little eco adventure certified B-Corp business, it means the world to us.

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!

A walk amongst grass trees.

All 28 species of grass trees (Xanthorrhoea) are native only to Australia and contrary to the name they are not grass nor trees, instead being distantly related to lilies.

For our First Nations people grass trees were and are a resource of great importance.

I love getting out into nature and walking among them wondering what they have witnessed with some of them estimated to live for over 600 years.

Get in touch if you want to know which of our adventures take you on walks to places like this…

Ever wanted to learn and experience the key health benefits of hot and cold therapy as you awaken your adventure and senses in magical natural rock pools & geothermal mineral springs?

After the Fire & Ice experience your WAM host will take you out into nature on a guided adventure to some of the most majestic natural rock pools you could ever imagine where you can put into practice what you have learnt bathing and refreshing your mind and body surrounded by wild ocean vistas.

Along the way we’ll enjoy a delicious picnic lunch packed full of fantastic local produce.
