Check out the Wild West!
Book your Hobie adventure in Western Australia. Stay on a bit longer, and after you visit the South West, head up to Perth to watch Sail GP!
Fly direct from Melbourne or Sydney, but we recommend the Nullarbor drive! Stay tuned for travel tips and places to see on the West Coast.
Visit the south west of Western Australia, the City of Busselton is just 2.5 hours south of Perth and is the gateway to the Busselton Margaret River premium wine region with a breathtaking coastline. Visit surf breaks and picture-perfect beaches along Cape Naturaliste, Geographe and Eagle Bay, and walk the Cape to Cape Track, with prime coastline views, whales, and wildflowers for passers-by. At the same time, the Ngilgi Cave showcases a spectacular world beneath the ground.
There’s also a vibrant arts hub with plenty of museums and galleries waiting to be viewed, not to mention a food, wine, and craft beer scene and plenty of accommodation options ranging from absolute beachfront five-star resorts to private villas, family-fun holiday parks, bed and breakfasts, and everything in between!
Get a taste of sailing in the West in this pristine location, Geographe Bay in Busselton and take a peek at the south west, something for everyone:
