About this tour
This 11-hour Margaret River day trip threads together three distinct experiences across Western Australia's southwest coast. You'll ride the Busselton Jetty Railway out to the Indian Ocean, explore the dramatic wave-sculpted granite outcrops at Canal Rocks, and taste wines from the region's acclaimed producers. The tour suits both outdoor explorers and wine drinkers, with lunch and transport included in an air-conditioned vehicle.

What to expect
You'll start with a scenic train ride along Busselton Jetty, stretching 1.9 kilometres over the water toward open ocean. The jetty itself is a working fishing pier and marine research platform, so expect working boats and genuine coastal activity rather than a theme-park feel. Next comes Canal Rocks—a series of granite ridges and channels carved by wave action, best explored on foot around the shoreline. Finally, you'll visit local wineries for tastings that showcase the region's cool-climate varieties. Lunch (typically wood-fired pizza) breaks up the day, though you'll need to buy your own beverages.
Good to know
Bring water and sunscreen; the coastal sections offer little shade. Wear sturdy shoes for Canal Rocks exploration. The railway and walking sections suit most fitness levels, though cardiovascular concerns should be flagged beforehand. Infant seats and prams are available. Breakfast and hot drinks aren't included, so eat before departing.
