As this is a private tour, the journey is relaxed and flexible. We are happy to stop along the way for a coffee, comfort break, or to stretch your legs, ensuring the drive is comfortable and enjoyable.
Iconic Photo Stop & Morning Coffee Stop
Stretching nearly two kilometres into the turquoise waters of Geographe Bay, Busselton Jetty is one of Western Australia’s most photographed landmarks. On this tour, we typically enjoy this stop as a relaxed photo opportunity and short coastal walk, allowing guests to take in the views, capture stunning images, and experience the atmosphere of the foreshore.
As this is a private tour, guests who would like to spend additional time exploring the jetty or surrounding area are very welcome to let us know in advance. We are happy to adjust the day’s schedule to suit your interests and ensure a relaxed, unhurried experience.
Discover the hidden world beneath the Margaret River region with a guided visit to one of its spectacular limestone caves, such as Ngilgi Cave or Lake Cave.
Marvel at towering stalactites, delicate formations, and ancient chambers carved over millions of years.
This is a private and flexible experience. With many caves throughout the region, guests who wish to visit a different cave or explore additional caves are welcome to let us know. The itinerary can be adjusted to match your interests and energy levels.
Margaret River Winery Lunch
Tailored to Your Taste
With more than 200 wineries in the Margaret River region, the area offers an exceptional range of lunch experiences, from elegant estate dining to relaxed vineyard restaurants.
For this tour, we typically recommend Vasse Felix as our preferred lunch stop, renowned for its outstanding food, premium wines, and beautiful vineyard setting. It provides a consistently high-quality experience that suits a wide range of tastes.
As this is a private tour, guests are very welcome to request an alternative winery for lunch. Whether you prefer fine dining, a more casual atmosphere, coastal views, or a boutique cellar door, we are happy to tailor the lunch venue to suit your palate and preferences. Simply let us know in advance, and we will adjust the itinerary accordingly.
Artisan Food & Local Flavours of the Margaret River Region
Seasonal & Guest-Led Stops
The Margaret River region is renowned not only for its wine, but also for its abundance of artisan food producers scattered throughout the countryside. From small-batch olive oils and boutique coffee roasters to handmade chocolates, artisan ice cream, and craft breweries, the region offers something to tempt every palate.
As this is a private tour, we keep the day flexible. Depending on the season, time available, and your personal interests, we are happy to include an additional stop at a local producer that catches your attention. Whether you’re in the mood for something sweet, savoury, or a relaxed tasting, we’ll tailor the experience to suit you and adjust the itinerary accordingly.
Ancient Forest Drive-Through
Pass through one of the world’s largest remaining Tuart forests, home to towering trees found only in Western Australia. This tranquil forest drive offers a beautiful contrast to the coast and vineyards and is ideal for a quick photo stop or gentle stretch break if desired.
Picture-Perfect Bay
Drive past Eagle Bay, famous for its calm, crystal-clear waters and pristine white sand. On calm days, this area is ideal for a quick photo stop or short walk along the shoreline.
Experience the raw beauty of the Margaret River coastline at Canal Rocks, where powerful ocean swells surge through natural granite channels carved by the Southern Ocean. Wander the boardwalks, breathe in the sea air, and take in one of the region’s most striking coastal scenes.
This stop is ideal for photography and a relaxed coastal walk, and for more adventurous guests, there may be opportunities for a refreshing swim in calmer conditions. As with all stops on this private tour, time here is flexible — guests are welcome to linger and explore or move on sooner, depending on interest and weather.
Relaxed End to the Day
As the day draws to a close, enjoy a comfortable private return journey to Perth. Sit back, relax, and reflect on a full day of coastal scenery, underground wonders, and world-class food and wine.
