The first stop is Busselton Jetty, the longest wooden jetty in the southern hemisphere, stretching 1.8 kilometers outwards into Geographe Bay. Take some time to walk around and enjoy morning tea (at own expense).
Next, head to the Bootleg Brewery for a gourmet platter lunch and enjoy some beer and cider tastings. take your time to enjoy the scenery. After lunch, stop at Sandleford Winery and enjoy tastings if some of their finest wines. You will have time to walk around the grounds and if you like, purchase some of the wines available.
Next, explore Mammoth Caves. Take a guided tour through this gothic like cave with vast chambers full of amazing formations. The cave will reveal a fascinating range of information about the flora and fauna of this region. You guide will tell you about the history of the caves, the different formations formed within the cave.
Travel through the beautiful Boranup Forest as you make your to Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse where you can see the meeting point of the Indian and Southern oceans. There is plenty of wildlife to see including rock parrots, sea lions and dolphins. Take a walk along the heritage trail and soak up the atmosphere and beauty of the area.
Heading back towards Margaret River, make a brief stop in the township where you'll have some free time to stroll the main street. Stop for dinner (own expense) before returning home to Perth.
Loved seeing all the hot spots of Western Australia and Margaret River, the caves, the lighthouse and the seas. I feel the ending part was not needed like going to the town of margaret river everything was closed and not necessary for dinner at hotel at the end.

We had a limited time in Perth. This tour had so much crammed into a day tour. We visited the Busselton Jetty, had lunch at the Bootleg Brewery and also tasted a variety of beers and cider. We then went on to Sandalford Winery for wine tasting. From here we took a guided tour of Mammoth Cave. We left here to see where the Southern and Indian Oceans met at Cape Leeuwin Light House. We saw beautiful coastlines along the way. We had dinner at a lovely resort on the way back to our hotel. This tour would have been better if over two days but because we had a limited amount of time in Perth it suited us. We started early in the morning and didn't get back to our hotel until after 10pm.

Long day on the bus but the overall experience was good especially seeing the cave.
Review by: Deborah M, March 2018
This was as stated a very long tour with lots of driving time to each location. We enjoyed all the stops except Margaret River which seemed to be more about picking people up as not a lot whee we were dropped off and the timing was such that most of the shops were closing shortly after we arrived. All other stops were worthwhile and could have used more time at them. I would scrap the stop at Margaret River and add time to the caves and lighthouse

Bootleg Brewery and Margaret River stops too long and not long enough in all others. Dinner at Abbey Beach just ok. Guide was excellent.
Review by: Donna W, February 2018
Definitely a day tour to go on. Experienced a bit of everything on this trip. Our driver was very knowledgeable and the stops were very interesting. Definitely would not have been able to pack this much into a day if I was driving myself, and had some lovely company as well.
Review by: Anthony M, February 2018
Great trip, a long day - saw alot of south WA would not ordinarily see. Busselltown a real highlight.
Review by: Clayton H, January 2018
It is a great tour, but a very, very long day. I would suggest overnight stays are better options.
Review by: Annabel M, January 2018
A very good trip, it gives you an insight into this area, however, it is slightly rushed, as places are so far away from Perth. I had read reviews before booking, so knew what I was letting us in for. it would be nice to have time to walk along the jetty at Bussleton and go into Cape Leeuwin lighthouse. All quite rushed, but a good trip. Very long day.
Review by: Megan C, December 2017
This is a huge day, but it is packed with lots of different things to do. Being just one day, you only get limited time at each place, but this is to be expected on a tour of this style. Our driver was Mark and we had him two days before on our Wave Rock day tour, so we knew that he would be great. He's very friendly and always up for a chat. He also has a lot of knowledge to share about the places we visited._br/_ This was an interesting introductory trip to the Margaret River Region and worth doing if you haven't been there before.
Review by: anniehouston01, December 2017
The tour was very good - our tour guide did not stop talking the entire trip but we got to know a lot of local information! I was concerned that it was a long day for the driver as he didn’t really have a break so that is something from a Safety perspective that I would seriously query
Review by: Leslie K, November 2017
Overall the tour is quite good with lots to see and do. We stopped at some really nice places and the tour guide was very knowledgeable. The only down side was the bus breaking down which cost us an hour and bit out of the tour while waiting for the new bus but the company still insisted we follow the time table which made it a bit rushed. We didn't do all the beer tasting at bootleg brewery and missed out on the Margaret River Town walk everything was closed. This is a good tour if you have never been to Margaret River and have a day up your sleeve.
Review by: Russell T, November 2017
Our tour guide was fantastic! He was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. This is a FULL day tour. We enjoyed the cave and beaches the most. The wine is terrible, but this tour definitely shows you a bit about everything. Our bus broke down after the first stop and we lost an hour of the tour, but our tour guide was very friendly.

it is OK.
Review by: ANITA V A, September 2017
On the whole the tour was good. Our bus driver Peter explained everything in detail and he was knowledgeable. The dinner at a resort was excellent at own cost. The stop at the shops was unnecessary, it was just a shopping mall. Instead we should have gone to another winery.
Review by: Vanessa B, September 2017
it was a nice tour, the tour guide was lovely, the beer tasting was the best bit. i was the only european on a chinese tour but i loved it they are super friendly. lovely places to see especially the light house, the coach was comfy.
Review by: David C, August 2017
The tour was fairly good, managed to visit many places of interest.

This tour was amazing!
Review by: Steven M, June 2017
Our trip on this day was very professionally run. Considering we took the 1-day trip, moderately fast pace was expected, and it was more or less 30 minutes slots for sight seeing spots, and 45 mins for food and drinks spots. Overall we did cover a very wide area on the roads starting from Perth city onwards down south to Busselton Jetty pitstop - a Brewery beer lunch - a reputable Winery tasting - Mammoth cave dinosauric tour - Margaret River region - going through the wetlands and small towns - Cape Leeuwin scenic tour and stops - pitstop at Marg town and then a good dinner on a winters night at a resort - and back up to Perth all in a day. Excellent coach captain Brandon with those driving skills - bending and turning that big coach on those small narrow roads with not even a scratch!

The Tour has so many places to visit ... every place has special thing ... but the time so tight ... so tight until we have to run .. not recommended for elderly .. but very beautiful places to visit ....
Review by: Anthony M, May 2017
It was a satisfactory tour covering all the places advertised. I would have liked to spend more time at wineries and exclude some of the other places. The lunch was only average and this brewery could have been left off the agenda. It is a long day. Would rate the tour a 3.5 out of 5.
Review by: Lyn M, May 2017
Great tour!
Review by: Kai T, May 2017
Tour was really informative and the itinerary provides a good snapshot of Margaret River.
Review by: Brett S, April 2017
Very long day but that was expected. My only gripe was the dinner stop was at a nice resort but the guide walked us all thru the nice dinning hall, out the back and down the stairs to what seemed more like the staff kitchen area to have cafeteria food dinner. Had we not walked thru the nicer dining hall where the banquet was being setup with linen tablecloths it might not have been so disappointing.
Review by: cheryl H, January 2017
It was fab.driver Bob was really knowledgable.
Review by: Lewis H, January 2017
Booked onto this tour before I came away based on the details and the feedback from other travellers. This was a full day tour lasting around 12 hours, although this was worth the cost and you got to see allot of WA.
Review by: SJ S, November 2016
The driver's commentary was great as was the comfort of the bus.Even though we knew there was a lot to fit into the day so it would be just a taste we had some absolute let downs. At Mommoth caves we were told because of time constraints we couldn't finish the cave.Really! At Busselton Wharf there was really nothing to do other than be a toilet and refreshment stop as we didn't have the time to go to the end of the jetty! Really! The lunch stated a gourmet lunch from local produce. What we got is a very large plate of chips and a smaller ploughman's lunch with one small piece of bread and 2 crackers each. My neighbour couldn't eat potato so she and I were hungry later and had to buy food. The thing I most wanted to see was Margaret River Township. The information said Enjoy some brief free time to explore the quaint shop and chic cafes of the area. you wilol also find craft work created by locals and an array of specialty shops. We got there at 5.00 pm. The shops were closed and we were given 1/2 hr there. It would take 1/2 hr just to go up and down the street deciding what to see even if the shops were open! Funnily enough most people were back at the bus in 20 minutes! I cannot tell you how disappointed I was with this trip because of the above reasons. it could be fixed easily. My suggestion to the owners is this..... take one stop out of the tour and finish doing ALL the things in it. A Margaret River tour's high point is Margaret River!!!!!!!!
Review by: Alison W, November 2016
Very interesting tour however the wineries were virtually non existent! It would be nice to have lunched at a winery rather than a brewery and the winery we visited was very poor
Review by: Melissa E, October 2016
Perfect as a one day tour! Very nice tour guide and very comfortable bus. Great glimpse of the area. Would recommend staying for longer if you can, though. But as a one-day tour it was amazing!
Review by: wilsonlj, October 2016
Excellent tour - the guide was very good.
Review by: ELISEO R, October 2016
Is a long day as distances are big, good to have a browse of the area, but sometimes too rushed._br/_ Having said that, if you only have one day to spare, it will work.
Review by: Jan D, September 2016
Excellent content and great commentary from Kerry. We were well looked after. Loved the day.
Review by: Trevor D, September 2016
Excellent trip giving us a chance to see a large area of WA. Food on the day very good and reasonable value where we had to buy our own meals. Would have liked more time at the Mamoth Caves as these were stunning. Very helpful and knowledgeable guide for the day on the coach
Review by: R NELL T, September 2016
Staff teams of Adam Pinnacles are outstanding._br/_ The tour bus was awesome with USB power point :D
Review by: N J C, August 2016
Lots to see and probably too many short stops whereas a couple of longer visits would have been better. Not enough time for the wine tasting or time at the pier._br/_ Could have spent more time at the caves too.
Review by: Michael E, August 2016
Provided an excellent introduction to the Margaret River region, with a variety of different points of interest from wine tasting to a limestone cave. Guide and organisation were excellent. It was though a long day with a lot of travelling.
Review by: Carol Thomas, July 2016
Would recommend this tour. Long day but crammed with interesting sights.
Review by: Emelie J, July 2016
Overall an amazing day! The cave was my favourite stop of the day. The lunch at the brewery was also something that I will remember. A really long day though and I would have skipped the dinner stop which was not that great to get back to the city a bit earlier.
Review by: huihua, July 2016
guide/driver bob is very friendly and nice. Long trip but very enjoyable. Adams pinnacles tour is very well organized. Love the mammoth cave and view from leeuwin lighthouse
Review by: Ivan A, July 2016
Great value if you want to squeeze in a lot in one day. I only wish there was more than just one winery stop but understand that there wasn and #39;t enough time. Mammoth Cave was nice but exploration time was also short. All in all, it gave me a very nice taste of the region. I and #39;ll be back for more.
Review by: Po lam C, July 2016
It and #39;s a amazing and comfortable trip !_br/_ Highly recommend for others
Review by: Kok Leong C, July 2016
Good timing and coordination by the tour guide. We managed to cover all the important spots.
Review by: Terence O, July 2016
Great day, food at Bootleg amazing. Nice wine at winery, caves were very interesting as was the art work by Australian Aboriginal people.
Review by: Granger Trip, June 2016
The 100 year old, still working, Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse was a unique experience and the highlight of the trip. The Indian and Southern Oceans converge at this famous landmark and it is the most south westerly tip of Australia. The longest wooden pier at Busselton Jetty is great, but time did not allow you to get on the train ride to the end. If you are into caves, the Mammoth has been beautifully preserved with grand stalactites and stalagmites.
Review by: Peter R, June 2016
A long day of driving which in itself is not too bad as the bus is comfortable. The trip is one that should be avoided if planning to take children under 10.
Review by: Almudena F, June 2016
This tour was amazing!
Review by: BEVERLEY, May 2016
We had a wonderful day. Beautiful scenery, informative tour and a great driver, Peter. Highly recommended.
Review by: Joan M, May 2016
Enjoyable experience.
Review by: Sharon K, May 2016
Tour should be renamed - the 30 minute stop to walk down the Main Street of Margaret River was a waste of time - comment by the driver as we drove over the river was don't blink you will miss it. Not enough time at the jetty and lighthouse. The pub lunch was excellent and the brief wine tasting fine.
Review by: happy jac, April 2016
A very long journey coach tour but we enjoy the sightseeing with the winery tasting, beautiful busselton jetty and the mammoth cave, fantastic!!!
