Enquire now & saveDiscover The Best Tour Experience in the Margaret River Region
Most visitors leave Margaret River having seen only a fraction of what makes this place truly extraordinary.
Each morning, a convoy of wine tours heads out to visit many of the same wineries and follow much the same route. That can still make for a terrific day—especially for serious wine lovers keen to explore the region’s world-class wines in greater depth.
But my advice? Don’t simply follow the herd. Think differently.
If you want an exceptional wine experience and the chance to discover places most visitors never see, choose the Margaret River Discovery Tour.
Yes, there is premium wine—and plenty of it. But instead of spending the entire day moving from one cellar door to another, you’ll canoe a tranquil river, walk a spectacular section of the Cape to Cape Track, venture off-road by 4WD and enjoy an exclusive winery experience with lunch among the wine barrels.
It’s a wine tour—but far more immersive, adventurous and memorable.
It’s the Margaret River experience for people who don’t normally do tours.

Sean’s tour was awesome. A small group of 6, driving around the area in a 4WD, learning about the history, canoeing, coffee at the beach, walking along the Cape to Cape Track, and an exclusive lunch in the barrel room of a winery. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Margaret River!

Margaret River Tour Faqs
We’ve got just about everything covered — your job is to rock up ready for a cracking day out.
Best advice? Dress casual, comfy and ready for anything. Margaret River weather has a cheeky streak, so bring a hat and sunscreen, but also a jumper or light jacket, even in summer. Locals like to say, “There’s no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing.” Too right.
We’re proud to kit you out with Mountain Designs waterproof jackets if the weather decides to spice things up a bit. You’ll be out in the elements (in the best way), walking through a working winery, hiking trails and canoe experience — so comfortable shoes and relaxed clothes are the go. Yeah feel free to dress nice, but nothing fancy, we'll hardly see anyone all day where we're going. You don't need to dress to impress. And rest assured you won't be getting wet or dirty.
A few other tips:
No need for big bags — space in the Land Rover is limited, and we’ll sort all your food and bevvies. We'll even supply reusable water bottles, but feel free to bring your own if you prefer.
Leave the heels and fancy gear at home — unless you’re planning to outdress the kangaroos

Really, the only thing you need to pack is your sense of adventure!
At Margaret River Discovery Co, we reckon every kind of weather is exploring weather.
Rain? It makes the forest smell amazing.
Wind? Adds a bit of drama to your coastal stroll.
Clouds? Perfect lighting for photos.
Sunshine? Always a treat — just not always on the guest list.
We’re out there rain, hail or shine (okay, mostly shine) and we never cancel tours because of weather. With small groups and a flexible itinerary, we simply adjust the plan as the day unfolds. Margaret River’s known for four seasons in one day, so we roll with it — and make it part of the fun. We've never had anyone wet in over a decade of touring!
To keep you comfy, we provide Mountain Designs waterproof jackets for when the skies get theatrical. You just need to bring a good attitude.
We’ll handle the rest.
Is it a nature tour? A wine tour? A gourmet experience?
It’s all of the above.
Think David Attenborough meets Jamie Oliver… with just a dash of Russell Coight for good measure.
The Discovery Tour blends the best of Margaret River’s natural beauty with its world-class food and wine — all with a healthy dose of fun and zero pretension. It’s about connecting to the land, understanding the terroir that shapes the region, and tasting the results in your glass and on your plate.
One of the highlights? A peaceful canoe paddle on the actual Margaret River — no rapids, no flips, no dramas. In over 16 years, no one’s fallen in, gotten muddy, or ended up soggy. The canoes are super stable, the water is calm, and the scenery is pure magic.
Life jackets are provided for peace of mind.
Canoes are safety rated for three people (max 300kg), though we usually seat two.
If you’ve got limited mobility or need a hand, you’re welcome to ride with your guide (that’s me, Sean).
It’s a tour for the eco-curious, the flavour-chasers, and the nature lovers — and it’s anything but ordinary.
