★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,969 reviews · from $156

Join Sean of Margaret River Discovery Tours for a five-and-a-half-hour outing that mixes canoeing, local honey, wine, lunch, waterfall scenery, and a short Cape to Cape walk. A luxury 4WD carries you between quiet river sites, Fraser Gallop Estate, and remote Wilyabrup sea cliffs. Pickup is at the Margaret River Visitor Centre.

“This tour ( adventure ) is definitely a must if you are looking for something different from normal. Sean is very much hands on owner of the Margaret River Discovery Co and is an exceptional guide making everyone feel instantly at ease with his banter and is very knowledgeable about everything that the tour takes in. He drives his guests around in a very comfortable Landrover Discovery which is treat in itself. The tranquil time spent on the Margaret River in the canoe was probably the highlight for me but the privileged access to Fraser Gallup winery was a close second ( the exclusive wine tastings and lunch were fabulous)…”
