Things to do in Caversham Wildlife Park

The best part for me was the stargazing. As a kid who grew up in cities, I had never seen so many stars in the sky in my life. Looking up at that endless sky made me feel so small in the middle of this vast nature and universe. Btw, our tour guide & driver Chris was amazing. I was really impressed by his knowledge, and it was the first time I’d met a tour guide who could introduce everything while driving without looking at any notes 😲. His respect for the little animals along the road, the cars coming from the opposite direction, and the night sky was one of the things that impressed me most about this trip. (Btw, if you’re planning to visit the Pinnacles at night, please be mindful of using lights as they affect the stargazing experience.) Also very grateful to his assistant Runa. After the tour ended, she accompanied us all the way to the train station to catch our train 😂😂

We had a wonderful time on the Perth Wildlife Park & City Highlights Tour. Our guide, Tim, was excellent and did a great job as both the driver and tour guide. His driving was smooth and safe, making the journey very comfortable. Tim was friendly, patient and extremely knowledgeable, sharing interesting facts throughout the tour. We also appreciated that the tour was kept to a small group, making the experience much more personal and relaxed. The pace of the itinerary was just right. Overall, it was a fantastic tour, and we would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Perth.

Although we visited many places in one day, and I understand that everyone has different preferences and we couldn't always stay longer at places I liked, I was mostly satisfied with the itinerary. The hotel pickup and drop-off were very convenient, and lunch was delicious and well-located. We happened to encounter a storm, the likes of which Southwest Australia sees only once every five years, and the car felt like it was swaying on the highway. Fortunately, our tour guide, Cindy, was very experienced and completed the entire trip smoothly!

We joined this local tour as a family of three and had a fantastic experience. The whole trip was very well organised and ran smoothly from start to finish. We visited the wildlife park and had the chance to feed the animals without needing to queue, which made the experience very relaxed and enjoyable. Lunch was fish and chips, which was nice, but we strongly recommend upgrading to the lobster as it was very fresh and definitely worth it. We also visited the desert, enjoyed an exciting off-road desert vehicle ride, and tried sandboarding. Everything was arranged very well, and the activities were fun and smooth. Overall, our family had a wonderful time. The tour was eye-opening, memorable, and gave us a great chance to experience the local scenery and activities. It was excellent value for money, and we would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Since it was my first time doing a winery tour, I felt awkward and nervous, but thanks to our guide Roni's kindness and enthusiasm, I found myself thoroughly enjoying it before I even knew it. I don't know much about wine and don't usually drink alcohol, but this tour is truly enjoyable even for absolute beginners. I learned that there is a huge variety of wines, and the weather and the wine venues we visited were all perfect and delightful. Lunch was also very hearty and delicious. You won't regret it. The other guests were so kind and everyone had fun together, making it an entertaining tour! If you are hesitating about a wine tasting, I highly recommend this! It's a full-day tour well worth the money!!

The tour started at Pier 3 at Barrack Square, where the pickup for the cruise was punctual and well organised. The cruise itself was a lovely way to begin the day, with interesting commentary along the way. We were welcomed with a delicious glass of champagne, followed by three glasses of wine, as well as onboard lunch. We arrived at Mandoon Jetty at around 12.45pm, where we joined the bus tour for the afternoon. Our first stop was Windy Creek Estate, and wow, there were a lot of wines to taste! I counted easily around 15 different glasses of wine if you were game enough to try every single one. Next was Garbin Estate Wines, where, haha, there were another 10 or so wines available for tasting. After all that wine, we headed to Swan Valley Brewery for some beer and chips, which was a nice change of pace. Our final stop was the nearby Whistler's Chocolate Company & Cafe. We got back on the bus and returned to the city at around 5pm.

Swan Valley Small Group Gourmet Food and Wine Tour — Best of Perth Tour Had a fantastic day on this tour. Tim, the owner of Best of Perth Tour, personally ran the small group and was excellent — genuinely knowledgeable about wine and attentive to everyone’s needs throughout the day. The small group size made the experience feel personal rather than rushed. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Perth and looking to explore Swan Valley’s food and wine scene.
