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.

The guides were amazing. We were in a small group of four. Not only was information provided about the nocturnal wildlife but also the flora, solar system and local indigenous culture. The animals were friendly and the tour bus was the cleanest tour bus that I have ever been in. Amazing all round. Would highly recommend this activity if you are in the Margaret River Region.

We were the only ones on this tour for this particular day, and were taken to some wonderful wineries, an olive farm full of fantastic produce and products, plus the chocolate factory. Had a fantastic afternoon with Mick and Ryan, who were very entertaining. Finished the day off with a walk down near the beach with some refreshments and a selection of local produce. Would definitely recommend their tours. Pickup and drop off from our motel was a bonus as well

Thanks for writing a fantastic review! Glad the kids enjoyed the tour as much as the adults. The tour is a great adventure for anyone staying in the Margaret River Region as it isnt too far away but still out of town.

Excellent experience for all the family. Mick and Ryan picked us up in the minibus and took us to the sanctuary. They showed us some interesting trees and plants, and we were able to try some fruit from the snotty gobble tree. We learned about the ways the Wadandi people used the trees and plants as medicine. The group got to feed kangaroos, which my sister-in-law from Scotland loved as it was her first time in Australia. My little niece is full of jibber jabber, and Mick and Ryan interacted with her really nicely. We saw possums, bandicoots, frogs, and spiders before doing some star gazing. The tour was really interesting and fun and great for all ages.

Really appreciate the five star review. Happy to guide you through the Aussie bush at night and introduce you and your family to the cute animals and weird looking plants that are native to the region. Star gazing is a must with a clear night sky featuring many bright stars because we are away from the lights of town.

An excellent tour, Mick and Ryan were excellent guides and very knowledgeable. Got in some whale watching at one of our stops, which was a bonus. The views were amazing. Marri Wood Park was well worth the visit. Julian, our host, was so passionate about the way he cultivates his vines in tune with nature, in a biodynamic way. Then a trip to Gabriel’s chocolate - delicious. Would highly recommend.

I have just booked "wine and sites discovery tour" for my husband and myself and then notice there is another tour "margaret river Coastal and wildlife tour" First time to Margaret river and this will be our only full day, like an occasional wine but not priority, could you please suggest which trip would be a better option

Hi. Thanks for your question. The Coastal & Wildlife Eco Tour runs in the morning and is focussed on the unique environments of Cape Naturaliste. It incorporates short walks (including wildflowers at this time of year), underwater camera (subject to weather conditions), wildlife spotting, and a platter of local produce including a glass of local wine or beer. We do not visit any establishments on this tour.
Our Wine & Sights Discovery Tour in the afternoon includes iconic scenic spots of the area, then visits 2 wineries, a chocolate factory and olive oil soap factory with gourmet produce shop. There are also opportunities for some wildlife spotting on this tour. This tour gives a good overview of all the different aspects that the region has to offer.
In regards to which tour would be a better option for you, that will depend on whether you would like to visit some local establishments or spend all of your tour time discovering the region's natural attractions.
Kind regards

Hi I am travelling to Margaret River from Busselton tentatively in early September. I'm interested in your Woylie Encounter Experience. Pickup is at 630pm at our hotel and what time can we expect to arrive back at our hotel? I'd also like to enquire about the price for 2 adults and a 2 year old. Thank you.

Hi there,
Thankyou for your enquiry. Apologies for the delayed reply. Our Woylie Experience runs for approximately 2 hours and in September departs at 6pm and returns around 8pm. The cost would be $45 per adult and the two year old would be free of charge.
Kind regards
Ryan & Mick
