Swan Valley -kierrokset

Swan Valley is such a beautiful place to slow down, enjoy the vineyard views, taste some good wine, and simply enjoy the moment.

Vaikka päivän aikana käytiin monissa paikoissa ja ymmärrän, että kaikilla on erilaiset mieltymykset, eikä aina voi viipyä niin kauan kuin haluaisi, olin silti enimmäkseen tyytyväinen matkaohjelmaan. Hotellikuljetukset olivat erittäin kätevät, lounas oli herkullinen ja sijainti hyvä. Tänä päivänä koimme Lounais-Australian pahimman myrskyn viiteen vuoteen, ja autossa tuntui, että se heittelehti tiellä. Onneksi oppaamme Cindy oli kokenut, ja saimme koko matkan päätökseen turvallisesti!

I took a cruise, chatted with people, drank some wine, and then went to a winery where I listened intently to explanations and drank a lot of wine. It would be great for wine lovers, and I really enjoyed having plenty of time.

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.

Family with two young kids, great experience on the tour with a fantastic tour guide! thank you!

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.

Tim nouti meidät Barrack Squaren laiturilta numero 4 – mikä oli selkeästi ilmoitettu ja melko ajallaan. Pakettiauto oli mukava. Hän tarjosi myös pullotettua vettä. Pidimme siitä, että Tim oli työskennellyt Caversham Wildlife Parkissa aiemmin, minkä ansiosta koko puiston sisäinen matka oli täsmällinen ja hyvin valmisteltu (vinkki: pussi ruokapellettejä kenguruiden ja muiden eläinten ruokkimiseen). Söimme lounasta Mandoon Estatessa, jossa valitsimme kasvisruokaa. Ruoka tarjoiltiin nopeasti, kuumana ja herkullisena. Seuraavaksi jatkoimme matkaamme Margaret River Chocolate Companyyn – Tim antoi meille suklaata ilmaiseen maisteluun, ja ostimme myös joitakin matkamuistoiksi. Myöhemmin vierailimme Scarborough Beachilla, joka oli upea, sillä sääkin oli erittäin hyvä. Päätimme matkamme Kings Parkiin, kävelimme ympäriinsä ja otimme muutaman ikimuistoisen kuvan. Kaiken kaikkiaan tällaisen ryhmämatkan odotetaan olevan hieman kiireinen, mutta se täytti päivän tavoitteemme.

Mr. Dominic was a great tour guide and really enjoyed whole tour! The best tour ever!
