Ryan and Mick are awesome, we enjoyed the time on the tour all time, they are full of knowledge and shared the special site to us. Before we book the tour, we look though so many tour in Margaret river, we want to know a bit more than just taking the wine tour, and getting drunk. So this is perfect for us, local sightseeing but still able to enjoy what the region has to offer!

Thought the narrator was excellent telling us about the Owl, some information I never knew.... and the kite birds were awesome, definately recommend to other people who visit Margaret river, think that where the birds are caged could be updated

The cave itself was not very large but really beautiful and impressive. But the experience got even a lot better thanks to our guide (Tony) who served some really interesting facts and stories with a good sense of humour.

Very well organised and the day was amazing. Great wineries and the chocolate tasting was amazing. Lunch was awesome and then finished the day at a brewery. Ryan our guide was the best. Enjoyed every moment.

Great guide, wineries and lunch. Excellent day and well worth the money for a great day out.
