    1. Margaret River wine and scenic tour from Busselton or Dunsborough

    4.9· 156 reviews· 4 hours

    Full-day tour in a comfortable mini bus — scenic sites, local wines, gourmet produce tastings with expert local guides.

    The tour was truly a fantastic way to explore the highlights of Margaret River in just half a day, even on a scorching day. The van was comfortable and well-cooled. Our guide, Mick, with his background in environmental science, shared insightful local knowledge and personal stories that added depth to the experience. His enthusiasm for the area was evident throughout. We started with breathtaking views of the coastline, driving from Caves Road to Sugarloaf Rock, where Mick provided refreshments while we admired the stunning scenery. Next, we visited a small boutique winery, Cape Naturaliste Vineyard, for a personal wine tasting and lesson, followed by Wills Domain, a renowned vineyard. Despite its size, the atmosphere felt intimate thanks to our knowledgeable host. Overall, it was a lovely tour enjoyed by my husband and our two adult children.Charina_G

  3. Whale watching tour from Busselton, Busselton3

    3. Whale watching tour from Busselton

    4.8· 160 reviews· 2 hours

    A guided tour with live commentary about Australian Humpback Whales and their habits, departing from Busselton.

    I recently returned from a whale watching tour and wholeheartedly recommend it. The ship was modern and comfortable, and the fantastic crew, led by the amazing Captain Albert, made the experience exceptional. We encountered numerous pods of whales, seeing dozens throughout the trip. It became so enjoyable towards the end that they extended our time on the water because we didn’t want to leave. Don’t miss this adventure if you're in Perth.paul C

    3.0· 4 reviews· 2 hours

    Half-day boat tour showcasing Geographe Bay’s coastline, marine life, and natural attractions like Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse and Meelup Beach, with opportunities to snorkel.

    It was an amazing experience! The setup was very professional, and everything went seamlessly. Snorkeling was incredibly enjoyable, and our guide, Katie, was fantastic and entertaining. I highly recommend it. The sculpture dive offered a wonderful view of the pier's ecology, and Swan Dive is a well-known name in eco-tourism. Spending a few hours at the beautiful Busselton Jetty on a Saturday was a great choice.PATRICK L
