ABOUT AWAKEN TOURS

In every walk with Nature one receives far more than he seeks

A PERSONAL STORY

" I created Awaken Tours to give people time away from the usual and into nature.

The idea was to share my love for nature and the outdoors, and create a relaxing day tour in nature for people.

The business was designed to be a lifestyle business that revolved around my wife and daughter, and give me flexibility.

It has evolved nicely over the past 8 years and in addition to the flagship tour in the Dandenong Ranges , I'm offering tours in the Mornington Peninsula, Yarra Valley and Warburton, but am also open to new destinations and itineraries.

It has been enriching to meet people from all walks of life around the world, and share a brief moment in time with them. "
