Passeios em Caversham Wildlife Park

A melhor parte para mim foi a observação das estrelas. Como alguém que cresceu em cidades, nunca tinha visto tantas estrelas no céu em toda a minha vida. Olhar para aquele céu sem fim fez-me sentir tão pequeno no meio desta imensa natureza e do universo. A propósito, o nosso guia turístico e motorista Chris foi incrível. Fiquei realmente impressionado com o seu conhecimento, e foi a primeira vez que conheci um guia turístico que conseguia apresentar tudo enquanto conduzia, sem olhar para quaisquer notas 😲. O seu respeito pelos pequenos animais ao longo da estrada, pelos carros que vinham em sentido contrário e pelo céu noturno foi uma das coisas que mais me impressionou nesta viagem. (A propósito, se estão a planear visitar os Pinnacles à noite, tenham em atenção o uso de luzes, pois afetam a experiência de observação das estrelas.) Também muito grato à sua assistente Runa. Depois de o tour terminar, ela acompanhou-nos até à estação de comboios para apanharmos o nosso comboio 😂😂

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.

Embora tenhamos visitado muitos lugares em um dia, e eu entenda que cada um tem suas preferências e talvez não seja possível ficar mais tempo onde gostaríamos, fiquei bastante satisfeito com o itinerário. O transporte do hotel foi muito conveniente, o almoço estava delicioso e a localização era ótima. Naquele dia, enfrentamos uma tempestade que ocorre a cada 5 anos no sudoeste da Austrália, e o carro balançava muito na estrada. Felizmente, a guia turística Cindy era muito experiente e conseguiu completar todo o passeio com segurança!

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.

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.
