Margaret River day trips from Perth
Margaret River is around three hours south of Perth: world-class cabernet and chardonnay, surf beaches, limestone caves and great food. A guided trip does the long drive for you so you can enjoy the tastings.
What a day trip covers
Expect a couple of winery tastings, lunch in the region, cheese and chocolate stops and a coastal lookout, with a photo stop at Busselton Jetty on the way.
Make it two days
An overnight trip adds a cave tour and Cape Leeuwin, where the Indian and Southern Oceans meet, at a slower pace.

Is a Margaret River day trip worth it?
Yes if you're short on time. A tour fits in the highlights, but stay overnight if you can to see more.
