Tour Highlights
Busselton Jetty Train & Underwater Observatory:
One of our stops on the way to Margaret River will be in the idyllic beachside town of Busselton. Our destination is the iconic Busselton Jetty, the longest wooden jetty in the southern hemisphere, stretching out into the calm waters of Geographe Bay. We will catch the cute, red jetty train out to the end, enjoying 360-degree views of the Indian Ocean and the white, sandy beach on either side. At the end of the jetty, we will descend into the Underwater Observatory – one of only six in the world – where you can look out on the best artificial reef in Australia. The jetty piles are covered with colourful tropical corals and sponges and are home to more than three hundred different marine species.
McHenry Hohnen:
What is a tour of Margaret River from Perth, without visiting wineries? One of the wineries we will stop at on day two of our tour is McHenry Hohnen, a place that focuses on sustainability, and creating ‘wines of purity and place.’ They use biodynamic farming and minimal intervention winemaking methods to create the most high-quality wines, while respecting the surrounding environment and prioritising natural processes. On our visit, we will enjoy tastings of their lovely single-vineyard wines with minimal intervention.
Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse:
On day three of our Margaret River tour from Perth, we will head down to Augusta to see Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse.
This historic building is the tallest lighthouse on mainland Australia and is situated on the most south-westerly tip of the country. From this viewpoint, you can actually see where the Southern and Indian Oceans meet. We will take a trip through maritime history with a walk around the historic village at the foot of the lighthouse, and finish with a guided tour of the lighthouse – the stunning panoramic views of the coast from the balcony are worth the climb.
