Feel nurtured by nature.  Atop the Granite Skywalk, in the Porongurup National Park see boulders balancing, teetering on weatherworn pedestals. Castle Rock is a 4.2km return uphill, nature trail, hike that requires moderate fitness.  To reach the spectacular views at the summit, requires a final short scramble over rocks and a climb in an enclosed ladder to the Granite Skywalk. Our AlbanyTours Guide will entertain you with intriguing stories of the area, from the traditional Noongar owners to the European settlers.  Suspended above the treetops you can breathe the clean air and exhilarate in the views to the Southern Ocean on this award-winning platform, in this Heritage listed area abundant in wildflowers.

Savour the wine of the Great Southern of Western Australia to add to your lunch at a Porongurups winery.  Rich soils, plentiful rain, and clean air, nourish the vines and bush land. You too can sense nature’s nourishment.

Meander through backroads to taste outstanding wines from wineries of the Mt Barker sub-region of the Great Southern appellation; known for its Reislings. This region has a characteristically cool climate with slow ripening times which allows for the development of rich flavours and quality grape juice.

Wine tasting begins at Gilbert Wines, home to the ‘lads’ and where a morning coffee might be preferred. At Plantagenet wines you are taken to the tasting bench to choose your wine and make your purchase to accompany a scrumptious shared platter lunch of local produce. Onwards the tour will take you to Galafrey Wines another family-owned winery and home to prominent female wine-maker Kim Tyrer. From there to West Cape Howe where you can sample wine from their extensive range, olive oil or their own brand of coffee!  Our Albany Tours guide will take care of the skipper duties, whilst you relax and enjoy the scenery and the sensational flavours of the region.

Absorb the vast expanse of the Southern Ocean. Take in the rugged coastline that early explorers first encountered as they rounded the peninsula for the sheltered waters of Princess Royal Harbour.

Visit scenic viewpoints, beaches and bays.  Enjoy a walk in nature and wildflowers, see Misery Beach and Frenchman Bay.  

Travel on to the cove from where sailing boats launch into the quiet harbour before one more view from the Albany Wind Farm to Mutton Bird Island. Looking across the vibrant City of Albany, the granite formations of the Stirling and Porongurup Ranges are visible in the distance. Complete your journey and exploration of the impressive coastline with a relaxing refreshment.

Get closer to the edge! At The Gap, feel the power of the wind and water from the masterfully crafted, protected walkway lookout over The Gap.  See the pounding waves as they thrash the granite walls and surge through the spaces. Feel the exhilarating force in your body; taste the salt spray on your lips, breathe in the invigorating fresh air!  

Through the streets of this vibrant and flourishing City, see art, indigenous story, settlement and connection with world events. View Princess Royal Harbour, the channel to King George Sound and the peninsulas beyond. See how the city center nestles into the valley and the expanse of surrounding natural bushland.

At the National ANZAC Centre interactive displays will take you on an intimate journey of a participant in the conflict.  Under the shade of trees planted to remember fallen soldiers, the Avenue of Honour leads to the Memorial of the Desert Mounted Corps.  The dawn service is Padre White’s story. Take in the view that the departing ANZAC Troops had before they sailed onwards to war; for some of them, the last vision of homeland at the peak of Mt Clarence.

Curving around Mt Adelaide, Breaksea Island comes into view and stories of the construction of the lighthouse and its connection to the ANZAC narrative are revealed.  Pause a moment to absorb the vista of the ocean and perhaps, if lucky, a glimpse of sheltering whales and calves. Journeying into the city centre, along the way we drive past the oldest farm in Western Australia and learn of the contribution it made to the social life and nourishment of the early community; a property with a chequered history.  Visit one of the earliest homes in Australia at Patrick Taylor Cottage.

And in a quiet moment with a refreshment speak with your local Tour Guide and find out more of this amazing regional community. Explore with us and 'we'll show you more!"

Gaze across Princess Royal Harbour with a view to King George Sound and, in the distance the expansive Southern Ocean. As you journey along the Torndirrup Peninsula this vista sets the scene.  Imagine for a moment, the spume of spray and the playful leap of a whale as it makes its way along dramatic South Coast on a long journey north.  Today the whale  travels safely uninterrupted on its path.

Albany’s role in the Australia’s whaling story comes to life on this tour at Albany’s Historic Whaling Station at Discovery Bay.  While there meet our friendly native animals in the Animal Wildlife Park.
