Itinerary
Day 1: Perth to Yallingup
This culinary adventure begins either on arrival at Busselton Airport or with a relaxed departure from Perth, where our Storyteller Guide will greet you. In Busselton, enjoy a coffee and a stroll along the world’s second-longest jetty, stretching 1.8km into Geographe Bay.
Pop into Christian Fletcher Gallery for a wander through stunning WA coastal photography. Equal parts inspiring and “I want that on my wall.” Then enjoy your first taste of the region over a seasonal lunch, paired with sweeping coastal views over Bunker Bay.
This afternoon, arrive at architectural award-winning Smiths Beach Resort, a coastal sanctuary nestled between Cape Naturaliste and Cape Leeuwin. Pure heaven for beach lovers, this 5-star resort is perfectly positioned on Smiths Beach, overlooking the sparkling Indian Ocean.
Tonight’s fine dining experience features a selection of mouth-watering Australian cuisine at Lamont’s restaurant in the resort. Kate Lamont is one of Western Australia’s most successful chefs, with a career spanning more than three decades. Sit back and relax with ocean views. The perfect way to end the first day of your private Margaret River tour.
Accommodation: 1 Bedroom Apartment at Smiths Beach Resort
Meals Included: Lunch, Dinner
Day 2: Margaret River
Today, we combine nature, culture and indulgence, beginning with the must-see natural attraction, Canal Rocks. Part of the rugged Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park, spend time wandering the boardwalks as they weave across the granite, set out on a short walk, or simply breathe deep and take in the untamed coastal scenery.
Next, embark on a captivating 2.5-hour fully guided journey into the heart of Ngilgi Cave with Wadandi custodian Josh “Koomal” Whiteland. Begin with a bushwalk through Country, where Josh shares stories of culture, connection, and the six Noongar seasons. Learn to identify bush foods and witness the ancient skill of fire lighting before heading underground into the mesmerising Ngilgi Cave. As you descend, the echoes of Josh’s didgeridoo fill the space, creating a soundscape that’s moving, memorable, and deeply grounding.
Lunch today is at one of the region’s most awarded dining destinations, Vasse Felix. Indulge in regional flavours, thoughtful textures and creative cuisine in an idyllic setting.
The afternoon is deliberately unstructured, allowing time to explore the vibrant yet relaxed Margaret River township at your own pace. Browse local galleries, sample artisan produce or settle into a bar or café for a little people-watching. It’s the perfect chance to soak up the laid-back village vibe before returning to Smiths Beach Resort for a relaxed evening meal after a full day of exploration.
Accommodation: Smiths Beach Resort
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 3: Yallingup to Perth or Busselton
After a leisurely start, you may like to fit in an early morning beach walk, one last breath of salty air, before breakfast, check-out, and farewells to Smiths Beach.
Back on the road north, step into Vasse Virgin for a sensory stop celebrating the region’s extra virgin olive oil. From beautifully crafted natural skincare to gourmet pantry favourites, browse the collection, sample local flavours and fragrances, and take home a little piece of Margaret River.
Next, visit Woodlands Wines for a refined cellar door tasting showcasing elegant, small-batch wines. Think polished Cabernet and beautifully balanced Chardonnay, served with warm hospitality in a serene vineyard setting.
Lunch is casual and convivial at Swings & Roundabouts, a local favourite for wood-fired flavours and laid-back Margaret River hospitality. An ideal moment to raise a glass and reflect on a wonderful trip.
Your tour concludes with transfers to Busselton Airport or a comfortable return to Perth.
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch

I traveled from Adelaide to Melbourne with Girls Guide to the World. What a fabulous experience! Hannah was such a delight! She was absolutely one of the best tour guides AND bus drivers! She was very knowledgeable about the history … More of each town we came through. She was easy going and very flexible when plans had to change. She definitely made the long bus rides special. I highly recommend Untamed Escapes with Hannah!

Had a brilliant 3 days, 2 nights swag camping on kangaroo island with Chris our guide! We managed to see so much of the island including spotting wild koalas, going to some beautiful beaches for swim stops such as Emu bay, Stokes bay and … More Hanson bay. The swag camping was so fun and we could star gaze and seen the wallaby’s s at the campsite. The food was always good and had plenty of options. Such a great group and a really fun trip! Zoe was also a great addition and help to the tour!!

Brilliant company, loads of laughs, stunning views and wildlife!
Not forgetting Steve the tour guide who made everything … More so enjoyable 👌 -
My husband and I did a 3 day kangaroo island tour. It was very fun. We experienced sleeping in a tent, do some of a bit stuffs for making lunch and clean up. We saw a lot of wildlife in KI. Too bad we missed the hike as we are doing the … More dolphin swim. But our guide Hannah did a great job of explaining and showing us what KI is all about. It was a short 3 days and would love to experience more of KI when we have the time to go back again.

My husband and I just returned back to Qld after experiencing the 6 Day Eyre Peninsula & Flinders Ranges Adventure Tour.

The 10 days of Adelaide to Perth will remain an unforgettable experience to me.
This had everything - swag camping , star studded night skies, beautiful beaches, scenic drives, spectacular hikes, picnic lunches & a lot of wildlife … More ( yes, Kangaroos wake you up in the morning - I am not kidding !! ).
The selected camping parks and the facilities available were impressive, can't complain. Enough time to explore and enjoy places.

The incredible Adelaide to Perth 10 Day camping trip.
A review simply cannot sum up how amazing this trip was! If you are contemplating booking it, just do it! Home grown Aussie like myself, an expat or tourist, it's really an amazing … More experience for everyone.
The places you visit showcase some of the incredible beauty Australia has to offer and camping in a swag really lets you get in touch with nature. We really are a very lucky country!
Our guides Brendan and Jackson went above and beyond to make this trip over NYE extra special and memorable and we will all be forever grateful. Our eclectic group of people made for such real, heartwarming, genuine fun and laughs that will forever bring a smile to my face 😁😊
I cannot recommend this trip enough and look forward to planning my next adventure with UnTammed Escapes!
