About
It’s the wine and nature lovers’ experience with the works! Hosted by Western Australian Guide of the Year - Sean Blocksidge. Sean is a local born and bred West Aussie who's been consistently rated the #1 best small tour experience in Margaret River for ten consecutive years on Tripadvisor. He'll take you down the back tracks and trails that most visitors to the region will miss. As Sean says "how can you visit Margaret River region and miss the actual Margaret River? That's nuts. Or fail to experience the grandeur of the Cape Track." Plus taste the best wine in the region! He shares local secrets and stories to more deeply connect you to Margaret River. You'll travel in his luxury Landrover Discovery 4WD with only a maximum of six people. This is personalised touring at it's best. No minivans or buses. This is "the wine and adventure tour for people who don't do tours".

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Easily the best thing we did in WA.

The perfect mix of adventures unique to the Western coast and a winery experience that you wouldn't get with any other tour.

Throw in Mr Disco's local knowledge, incredible photography, stories and tips that will make the rest of your time in the Margaret River a ball, we couldn't recommend this tour enough.

Don't miss out.

The best day! From canoeing along the Margaret River in the most perfect conditions to the final stop - walking along part of the Cape to Cape to stop at the top of cliffs overlooking the Indian Ocean, this was a great tour. Sean was so welcoming and full of knowledge. We stopped to see marron, saw skink, kookaburra and lots of kangaroos. The visit to the winery Fraser Gallop was fabulous with great food and wine tasting. Just a great day - would highly recommend

I had an amazing day out with Sean in Margaret river. Everything was organised so carefully and in detail. Sean himself made this a special event, with his enthusiasm, knowledge and adventurous spirit. Lunch was fantastic and we visited a very special private winery and got to taste some of the best wine in Australia. We got to canoe on the river and walk the cape trail on the remote part of the national park with unbelievable views of the ocean. And as we found out even most locals havent done these before!

Highly recommend this tour, it’s a great mix of activities compared to a usual wine tour. Everything aside, Sean is an amazing photographer and he shared the photos with us on the same day for free!

A superb experience showcasing the natural beauty of the river, the stunning wine region and to top it off cliff top ocean views that took our breath away. Sean shares his wealth of local knowledge freely and was a competent and engaging guide.

Sean was an incredible tour guide. Not only does he know his wines, but he is greatly knowledgeable in his history of the area, current attractions and best locations to visit. His tour was very well thought out, detailed, adventurous and fun.

What an awesome day with Sean. He took us canoeing on the river, a fabulous lunch at a winery, and another highlight was to walk a part of the Cape to Cape walk with stunning scenery. We felt privileged to see some things that often people visiting the area don’t see. Sean was very knowledgeable & friendly. Would highly recommend this tour . Thank you Sean

Sean was a fantastic guide, walked through the itinerary for the day catered to family based activities. One of the best experiences I have ever had, even though the youngest was 8 years old, Sean was very encouraging and brought the family together with the experience, challenging each other with the activities. I would highly recommend this is a Must Do activity with Margaret River Wine Adventure. Thank you for making this adventure a memorable one.

Our experience with this tour was nothing short of extraordinary! Having heard effusive praise from our friends, we knew it was the definitive excursion to undertake during our recent getaway to Margaret River. With such high expectations, the tour had a lot to live up to, and boy, did it exceed every single one!

Embarking on a journey that seamlessly blended adventure and relaxation, we found ourselves canoeing along the picturesque river, indulging in a delectable lunch at Fraser Gallop Wines, engaging in marron spotting at the watering hole, and conquering the Cape to Cape track. The day unfolded as a perfect blend of excitement and tranquility, striking an ideal balance that kept us captivated throughout.

The gastronomic delights, breathtaking scenery, and the camaraderie among the four other individuals on the tour elevated the experience to new heights. Every element fell into place, creating an atmosphere of sheer perfection.

A pivotal factor in the tour's success was our guide, Sean, who seemed born for this role. His profound knowledge of the region, infectious sense of humor, and unwavering passion for what he does truly set the tone for an unforgettable day. Sean's ability to seamlessly weave information with entertainment ensured that every moment was not only enjoyable but also educational.

In conclusion, this tour surpassed not only the hyped expectations but also left an indelible mark on our hearts. It wasn't just a day out; it was a symphony of adventure, laughter, and discovery orchestrated flawlessly. If there's one tour to undertake in Margaret River, this is unequivocally the one. Sean and the entire experience deserve every accolade they receive – an absolute must for anyone seeking an entirely amazing adventure.

The canoeing on the Margaret River was simply the best part of the day out... chilled experience on stable canoes on the actual Margaret River!! Having never been in a canoe, we were slightly apprehensive but after getting in and 2 minutes on the river it was so easy and the best way to view the river. The rest of the day was also excellent: culture stop to connect with country, the winery tour, tasting and lunch were excellent as well as a short hike on the Cape to Cape trail for outstanding scenery and photos. Sean, our guide, was brilliant and as a local "Margs" guy does a superb job of highlighting some of the best parts of the MR region and to places you would not find for yourself...
