About this tour
An 11–12 hour loop from Perth that threads together Margaret River's best kept secrets: walk the Busselton Jetty, taste wines at heritage Vasse Felix, scan the Southern Ocean from Surfers Point, wander old-growth karri forest, and wade into Hamelin Bay to spot wild stingrays. Small groups travel in air-conditioned comfort with a driver who knows the region well. You'll cover wine, coast, and bush in a single day without feeling herded.

What to expect
You'll leave Perth early and arrive in Margaret River by mid-morning. The Busselton Jetty train carries you along the longest wooden pier in the Southern Hemisphere. A winery visit follows—Vasse Felix is one of the region's pioneers, so expect serious conversation about terroir, not rushed tastings. Midday brings coastal scenery at Surfers Point, where the Indian Ocean crashes against limestone cliffs. After lunch (your own arrangement), you'll walk into Boranup Karri Forest among trees that tower 60 metres overhead, then finish at Hamelin Bay, where you'll wade knee-deep to encounter stingrays in their natural habitat. Expect a mix of tasting-room time, light walking, and standing about taking photos.
