Passeios em Swan River

Tim nos buscou no Barrack Square Jetty Pier No 4 – o que foi claramente informado e bastante pontual. A van era confortável. Ele também forneceu água engarrafada. Adorei o fato de Tim ter trabalhado no Caversham Wildlife Park antes, o que fez com que toda a viagem lá dentro fosse pontual e bem preparada (dica: um saco de ração para alimentar os cangurus e outros animais). Almoçamos na Mandoon Estate, onde optamos por comida vegetariana. A comida foi servida rapidamente, quente e deliciosa. Em seguida, continuamos nossa jornada para a Margaret River Chocolate Company – Tim nos deu alguns chocolates para degustação gratuita, compramos alguns como lembranças. Mais tarde, visitamos a Scarborough Beach, que foi incrível, pois o tempo estava muito bom também. E terminamos nossa viagem no Kings Park, passeamos, tiramos algumas fotos memoráveis. No geral, esse tipo de passeio em grupo é esperado que seja um pouco apressado, mas atendeu aos nossos objetivos para o dia.

We met at the meeting point in the morning, boarded the bus, and departed. Upon arriving at the Crown Hotel, we transferred to another bus, and the entire itinerary proceeded on schedule. The bus driver also served as our guide, providing thorough explanations. Although the tour itinerary stated drop-off at Barrack Street Jetty, the driver checked with everyone to find out where was closest to their accommodation and dropped them off there.

Perth–Fremantle One-Way Cruise — 14 August 2026 We had a wonderful experience on the Perth–Fremantle one-way cruise on 14 August. Our group of four really enjoyed the relaxing journey, especially with the beautiful weather and stunning views along the Swan River. The cruise provided a lovely opportunity to sit back, enjoy the scenery and take plenty of photos while travelling between Perth and Fremantle. Everything was comfortable and well organised, and the journey felt like an experience in itself rather than simply a way of getting from one place to another. The pleasant weather made the trip even more enjoyable. Highly recommended for families, friends and anyone looking for a relaxing and scenic way to experience Perth and Fremantle.

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

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!

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.
