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.

A wonderful day out not to be missed.
Oct. 2023 • Couples
Most enjoyable day out. 4 great Wineries to visit including lunch, a nice mixed platter.
Sue our tour guide was knowledgeable about the area we travelled and the places we visited.
The wine tastings were not only yummy but informative, mostly given by family members of the Winery.
The bus was comfortable and roomy.
Definitely recommend this tour.

Enlightening Experience
Oct. 2023 • Couples
We thoroughly enjoyed the two hour Albany City Tour with Susan. From the start we were so impressed with Susan’s knowledge and enthusiasm. Susan helped us engage with the history and modern day Art on the streets of Albany. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough .

A great intro to Albany and its sights
Oct. 2023 • Couples
Had a great half day tour of the Gap and sights around Albany. Small group. Tim, our guide was knowledgeable and entertaining - a story for all occasions and great fun. Highly recommended.

Such a relaxing way to see ART
Sep. 2023
I took this tour with my sister to see art of the Great Southern Art Trail. We both found it such a relaxing way to spend the day taking in art at a number of galleries and indulging in a splendid lunch at Ducketts Mill. The artists at each venue welcomed us on arrival and explained their processes and works to us and in a couple of places, took us out back to see their workshops. Our tour guide, Tim, was great and we enjoyed some interesting conversations with him along the way. I'm a local in the region, and while I could have driven my car to the venues, the special treatment the artists provided, together with the relaxation of being chauffeured around and not be concerned with directions or timing made this tour so worthwhile. I will definitely do this tour again.

The Gap and Coastal Tour
Jun. 2023
Tim picked us up promptly at our caravan park in an immaculately clean vehicle. He is an engaging person, full of knowledge about Albany and its surrounds - we could not have appreciated this itinerary if we’d tried to do it on our own. The coastal scenery is amazing, then being up close to the wind turbines, and finally the view of Albany from Mount Melville. Oh, and the scones and tea at the whale centre were great too. Highly recommend this tour, especially if Tim is leading it.

Albany WA and what it has to offer you
May 2023 • Couples
Albany is a place I never thought we'd venture to given its distance from Perth but, you can now fly direct from Melbourne to Busselton with Jetstar and pick up your hire car at the airport which makes the distance much less daunting. The drive from the Margaret River is easy... not much traffic and you travel through beautiful forests and farmland all the way. You will encounter some large and long trucks along the way but there is ample opportunity to pass them on the journey and there are enough petrol/food/restrooms to stop at. It took us approximately 4 hours from Dunsborough to get there and worth a mention is, make sure you have some of your own music to play on the journey as radio stations are few and far between and not very appealing with music choice.
You need to book your accommodation well in advance because Tourism has become a large contributor to the economy there. Having said all this...is it worth it?? Absolutely yes on so many levels. It is quite a large town with a great history. The people are welcoming and the food is amazing. The scenery is excellent.. many beautiful beaches (Middleton Beach has so much to offer), great landscapes and an easy drive to The Gap and Natural Bridge.
We continued down to Esperance after 3 nights in the Albany area but, that's another story and must do for so many reasons.
South west Western Australia has so much to offer beyond the Margaret River region. Australia is so vast and remote areas may not be as appealing for very young families due to the tyranny of distance but for those of you that are willing, it's worth it and airlines are starting to pick up on this.

Wow! Your wrap of the south west of WA is sensational 👏 Thanks so much for visiting, explaining the travel logistics, nuances of radio reception, magnificent, coastal landscape and the reward for doing the distance; 'so worth it!' An outstanding roundup of the potential that awaits the curious traveller.

Beautiful Scenery - Must Do When in Albany
Apr. 2023 • Friends
I booked The Gap and Natural Wonders Tour tour with Busy Blue Bus rather than take the cruise ship excursion which was shorter and way more expensive. We were picked up at the cruise port and it turned out all the people on my tour were from my cruise ship. There were 10 people on my tour in a minibus. We had ample time at all of the attractions and our guide walked with us and gave explanations and answered any questions. Our guide loved Albany and gave a lot of information about the city too. We stopped for a delicious scone and hot chocolate at the Whaling Station. Torndirrup National Park is a must see when in Albany. We also visited The Albany Wind Farm.

The Gap & Natural Wonders half day tour is a great way to get out into the natural environment, walk a little on nature trail and get up close to the bushland and wildflowers. Our Guides are passionate about Albany and can't help themselves in their enthusiasm to share it with you. Torndirrup National Park, The Gap, the Albany Wind Farm and Albany's Historic Whaling Station are icons of the region and as your say a 'must see'. Glad you enjoyed!
