Day 2 — Caves, coastline, forest and Cape Leeuwin

Wake up on the coast and spend the day exploring some of the region’s most memorable natural highlights. From Mammoth Cave and Boranup Forest to Hamelin Bay and Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse, this is a day of scenery, stories and iconic South West landscapes, balanced with lunch overlooking the Blackwood River and a winery tasting in the afternoon.

Day 3 — Wine, flavour and the journey back to Perth

The final day focuses on Margaret River’s food and wine culture, with breakfast in town, local tastings, a winery visit and lunch in an olive grove before returning to Perth. It’s a fitting finish to a journey designed to leave guests feeling they’ve genuinely experienced the region.
