4 Day Albany Margaret River, Valley of the Giants Tour from Perth

About this tour

A four-day drive through southern Western Australia's best-kept corners, starting from Perth. You'll track south to Albany, loop through Margaret River's wine country (Busselton, Pemberton, Margaret River), and explore stands of ancient karri forest. The itinerary pairs natural landmarks—Valley of the Giants' elevated walkway, Nornalup Inlet by boat, Mammoth Cave's underground passages—with cultural stops at Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse and Whaleworld. Includes all transport, three nights' accommodation, and daily meals.

What to expect

You'll spend mornings and afternoons in a climate-controlled coach with a knowledgeable driver-guide, covering roughly 300km across four days. The Tree Top Walk involves a steady walk 40 metres above forest floor on steel platforms—thrilling rather than strenuous. The Nornalup inlet cruise is gentle, weather permitting. Caves require modest scrambling and ducking. Expect rolling countryside, coastal cliffs, and small-town stops for coffee or exploration. Meals are provided daily; accommodation is standard regional standard, not luxe. Nights are quiet.

Children under 5 aren't suitable; those under 18 must have adult supervision. Pack one suitcase plus carry-on only. Advise dietary needs at booking. Gratuities aren't included.
