The experience
The tour leaves Perth in the morning with a coffee stop near Harvey before arriving at Busselton Jetty. You'll board the train that runs the full 1.8 km across the longest timber jetty in the Southern Hemisphere, learning about the region's maritime heritage and early settlement while the Indian Ocean spreads out on both sides. After time to explore the foreshore and take photos, you'll head inland to Boranup Karri Forest, where towering karri trees line peaceful forest roads: a quiet contrast to the coast you've just left.
Lunch is at your own cost at Sea Garden Café, a local spot near Busselton offering fresh regional dishes. From there the tour moves to Surfers Point and the Margaret River Mouth, where the river meets the ocean and world-class surf breaks shape the coastline. The centerpiece is a premium tasting at Vasse Felix Winery, the estate that founded the Margaret River wine region in 1967. You'll taste award-winning wines while learning how the region's terroir and pioneering spirit built its reputation. Before returning to Perth in the evening, you'll walk the boardwalk at Canal Rocks, where waves and wind have carved the granite into impressive formations and natural channels.
The bus is air-conditioned and groups stay small, so the day moves at a comfortable pace without feeling rushed. Bottled water is provided, and your guide speaks English or Chinese. Hotel pickup from Perth is included, so you don't need to arrange transport to the departure point.
Is this one for you?Hotel pickup from Perth means you don't need a car or arrange your own transport to the departure point. The tour collects you in the morning and returns you in the evening, so it works whether you're staying in the city or arriving without a rental.
