We booked the day trip to The Pinnacles with Kandu, and we had a truly excellent time. We were the only ones on the tour, to our surprise, but that's how Vicki operates: really small groups. She is an excellent host, and suggested some really nice changes to our tour based on what we'd already seen. We can highly recommend booking with Vicki and when we return, the Danes will book again!

Mick and Ryan were great hosts for our group of 9, and very knowledgeable. Many of our group of Perth residents did not know much about woylies and quendas, so this experience will help spread the word about our precious native species. I was delighted to get photos of a possum, a roo, a quenda and a woylie altogether in one place. Thanks guys.

We had a private full day tour of Port Lincoln with Beebs/Ian. My friends and I have all said this was by far the highlight of our South Australia trip! Beeb’s knowledge was amazing and he was so much fun we learned so much about the history of Port Lincoln and spent the whole day laughing. Our first stop was brilliant! We fed both birds and kangaroos from the palm of our hands it was an unforgettable experience. We tasted the most delicious fish at the fresh fish shop and saw the most spectacular sites of the National Park, places we never would have found on our own. We finished off the day spotting wild Koalas in the trees. 5/5 stars this trip is a must do if you are in Port Lincoln and it would have not have been as enjoyable without our brilliant tour guide. Thanks again Beebs Katie, Amy and Maeve

This was our second tour with Sergio on our trip. Our first full day was in the Margaret River area. We had such a fantastic time with Sergio that when our travel plans had to change and we were going to be in Perth for an extra week we decided to book again with Sergio for another day trip. We visited a winery, went to Caversham Wildlife Park, had lunch at the Lobster shack in Cervantes and then experienced the impressive Pinnacles! Sergio was a wonderful ambassador for Perth. We thoroughly enjoyed his passion and expertise. He is a very kind and respectful tour guide and we would highly recommend him. You will have a wonderful experience!

This private day tour takes you on a journey through some of the most beautiful countryside in Australia. Locals go for the Region, not the Margaret River township. There are many Attractions, Wineries, Breweries, Caves, Forest drives and stunningly beautiful beaches in the region and I will guide you to places that suit your taste. Margaret Rivers wineries are internationally celebrated and it is one of the most environmentally diverse regions in the world. The township of Margaret River is approximately four hours south of Perth and for many this sounds like a challenging drive. I include stops along the way which are historical, cultural, naturally beautiful, local and fun! Specially selected small country towns and locations are chosen for the unique characteristics which make them stand out from the ordinary. The tour can be customised to include your special interests and offers the experience that suits you.

Inclusions: A fun-filled day of mystery depending on what you want to choose to do, A cold esky/Icebox for any drinks & snacks you like to bring along., A knowledgeable and fun local guide to keep you amused on the longer stretches, Lots of photo opportunities and I take your pics too., A very comfortable airconditioned car with loads of "roadtrip" music, Cold bottled water and seasonal fruits, Flexibility to choose your own Wineries, Lunch stops etc

Exclusions: Lunch is not included (there are too many options)

I strongly recommend Perths Tiny tour / Peter. We did 2 tours with Peter: the pinnacles day tour and the Margaret river tour. For each tour, he picked us at our hotel and dropped us off at the end of the tour. The tours were well organized and we saw really nice things: the must sees like the Pinnacles but also more peculiar things like the gnomes'village. Peter was also a really informative guide telling us a lot about western Australia. FYI, we booked 2 tours with other companies and they cancelled last minute. Peter saved us and took us last minute on the Margaret river tour. Thank you Peter!

Best day out ! We are locals looking for something different to do. Maureen was a fabulous host and put together an itinerary that took us to many different wineries that were not the usual gotos’ Smaller more intimate wineries, lots of stories and more passion for the region. Able to explore the region in classic style with lunch and every comfort taken care of. Highly recommended. David & Sandie

If you want to walk the iconic Cape to Cape Track along the famous Margaret River coastline in comfort without camping, then this tour is for you. Take in cliff-top vistas, white sand beaches and clean ocean air on this 135-km guided walk. Ideally suited to over 50's, you will complete spectacular walks each day and return to comfortable lodge style accommodation each evening. Carrying only a small day pack and enjoying delicious and healthy meals (and yes, all dietary needs are catered for) along the way, walking this track is both achievable and enjoyable. The small group size means there are plenty of opportunities to develop new friendships and share experiences. This walk is certainly achievable to those with a moderate level of fitness but if you need a rest day or would like a shorter day of walking then there are options as well. Tours are always guaranteed to depart.

In April I completed my first multi day hike along the great ocean walk end to end. The guides Robyn and Stacey made this adventure memorable. Food was exceptional for every meal. They were knowledgeable on the walk giving us the local indigenous stories and the early settlers. Stacey was a legend in spotting wildlife and telling us about them. Robyn cooked some fabulous meals to keep us fuelled for the walk. All very well organised the whole trip. A fabulous experience that has prompted me to try out other walks. Thanks team.
