Ultimate Peninsula Adventure: Stand Up Paddle, Hot Springs, Hike, Lunch & Winery

We have done multiple tours with WAM and would not travel the region without them!! We also contact Owner Nic Cooper for suggestions for ANY travel within Australia, and he’s NEVER given us less that perfect advice!!

We had a fantastic day of bathing in hot springs, beautiful and dramatic scenery and walks, wildlife and wine tasting, not forgetting the farm shop acquired lunch which was unbelievably good. Nic was a fabulous, engaging and flexible host and certainly knows how to give his guests the very best experience of the Mornington Peninsula. We cannot recommend Nic and Wild Adventures Melbourne enough. Andrew and Anne, London, UK, Private all day tour

Amazing diversity, action packed, great food, brilliant wildlife. Skiing, kayaking, snow shoes, hot springs, hikes, koalas, echidnas and seals!

A well thought out and super fun day with Nick! It was amazing to get the chance to do so many things in the span of one day, while not feeling pressured or rushed at all. Highlights were seeing so many amazing sea creatures while stand up paddle boarding, and ending the day at the hot springs after all our hard work!

Nic is a wonderful guide. Yet laid-back. He gave us space to have conversation as well as quiet. He took us to off the beaten path places where we could quietly enjoy nature while we kept moving in order to keep to our schedule.

Watching the morning sun light change while paddling on a SUP, tucking into some sensational local produce and then being guided by Nic on a short bushwalk … such a great way to experience the Mornington Peninsula! Big thanks to WAM for the 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!

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!

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.

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 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!

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.

SUCH A GREAT DAY! We really saw and did the best of the peninsula all in one day. WAM is an amazing company I will be back for more! They definitely care about the earth, and Coops was so friendly and knowledgeable. They thought of everything for us. I loved it!!! We went on New Year’s Eve, great way to ring in the year

Nic did an amazing job of adding a bit of personalization to our day. We are so thankful he accommodated all of our needs. We had a great day - even paddle boarding in the wind! Great communication, friendly, accommodating, definitely recommend WAM for a great day in the peninsula!

Absolutely fantastic trip, coops is the most wonderful and knowledgeable host. Every detail was amazing, from sustainably sourced towels, picnic mats and keep cups to delicious local food from the peninsula for lunch. Cannot recommend highly enough!

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.

A terrific day. Professional, perfectly paced and a great way to experience a wonderful part of Victoria. Nic is a fantastic host and has put together a eco friendly experience that supports like minded local businesses.

A lovely day. Well paced and very professional with attention to detail. A great way to experience the Mornington Peninsula in a sustainable way and support like minded local businesses. Will be booking all my visitors In future!!!!

We had done a wine tour the last time we came to the Peninsula and wanted to do something a bit different this time. We had an absolute ball SUPing and the pools were a real highlight. Highly recommend the tour!

Thank you Nic for an amazing day! My family enjoyed every minute of it. First time for me on the SUP and your instructions made me feel so comfortable - now we are looking to get a SUP of our own. Lunch was so yummy, would highly recommend visiting the orchard. Incredible views during the bush walk that gives you a real feel of the landscape on the Peninsula. Still reflecting on the pics we took by the beautiful rock pools. And no better way to top off the physical day than a soak in the hot springs. Hope to revisit the peninsula with one of your tours again, this time in the winter.
