About this experience

This Private Tour can be taken any time of year but is especially good fun in winter when bush walks are a warming activity and rivers, waterfalls and creeks are running with fresh rains.

Its also just a great place to sample some of the best local wines or just try some amazing food. August to October is also spring wildflower season and the incredible Araluen Tulip displays.

The Darling Mountain Range, (locally called the Perth Hills), is a region approximately 30 minutes from Perth City. It parallels the coastline and has many attractions that can fill a day with activities.

How many things you want to do is up to you so please contact me prior to booking to confirm your special plans OR simply let me show you some of the most beautiful natural bushland on Perths doorstep.

The Bickley Valley is a particularly beautiful region full of fruit and wine orchards, cideries and great restaurants. In winter you can also see roadside displays of the golden wattle trees in full bloom.
