A Standout Tour Showcasing the Best of the Region

Matt 15 February 2026

[Employee of redballoon] At RedBalloon, we run a curated program called Best Of RedBalloon which is a collection of premium experiences that consistently exceed customer expectations with ratings of 4.8 stars or higher. Only a boutique collection of Experience Operators meet this top-tier criteria and accreditation isn’t granted until a RedBalloon team member personally joins and tests the experience to verify it meets our highest standards. Sean’s Margaret River Discovery Tour recently reached the "Best Of RedBalloon" benchmarks, and I was fortunate to join the tour for the final assessment as a RedBalloon staff member. I’m pleased to say the tour not only met our high standards - it exceeded them. Sean delivers an experience that is personal, insightful and genuinely unique to the region. His deep regional knowledge, passion for conservation and warm hospitality made the day memorable and meaningful. From peaceful canoeing along the Margaret River to discovering hidden local gems (including a winery and lunch) and venturing to coastal sand dunes accessible only by his 4WD, every moment felt thoughtfully curated and effortlessly enjoyable. It’s clear why customers rate this tour so highly and Im thrilled to add Sean's tour to our Best Of RedBalloon collection. Congratulations Sean!

Fantastic day!

Kara 30 March 2025

Absolutely phenomenal day being guided by Sean on a diverse range of fun and exciting activities. The canoeing in paricular was a unique and tranquil way to see the Margaret River. Terrific local knowledge and advice about the whole Margaret River area, and his access to the cellar door and private lunch with local produce was exceptional. Bonus - turns out he's a great photographer!!

Exceeded all expectations

Jenny 30 November 2022

Sean went above and beyond. His passion, energy and knowledge was amazing. With keen attention to detail, we were given a taste of what Margaret River has to offer. We could not have done any better and have some wonderful memories and photos to take home. The canoeing and wine cellar tour and lunch were definite highlights. Thank you Sean, we loved every aspect of the tour!

TOUR WILL NOT DISAPPOINT

kathy 24 March 2022

Our sons recommended this tour and on NO level were we disappointed. Sean's passion and professionalism radiated. We paddled the waters of an inland river, we sat on rocks and discussed indigenous lore. Over lunch we tasted the secrets of the South West, food and produce of the grape. We went 'woopee' on the sand tracks and sat in quiet wonder of the cliffs and southwest cape, breathing some of the purest air in the world. The wit and wisdom of Sean and his tour will stay with you for many a year! Kathy & David - Mandurah WA P.s Our fellow travellers made the South West connection strongly enough to connect again

The river the lunch the ocean views

Mike 18 February 2022

Brilliant day. Canoe was fun. Lunch at Fraser Gallop was great and the views of the ocean cliffs were amazing...Sean a great host!

Excellent experience - see more than the locals do

Toby 1 December 2021

Right from the start of the day Sean's energy was contagious - we enjoyed canoeing on the peaceful & beautiful Margaret River, while learning about local wildlife. This was followed by a coffee stop - while learning about the bushfires 10 years ago, then off to visit a local water fall (and taste some honey!), then to Fraser Gallop's Estate for a tour of the working winery, some tastings and a nice lunch (comprising local produce). Sean kept energy levels high & the group engaged throughout the day. After lunch we enjoyed a 4x4 track to a section of the cape to cape, then a short walk to some beautiful scenery at Wilyabrup cliffs. Throughout the day Sean took professional quality photos that he shared with us & was on hand to answer any questions thrown his way. 10/10 would recommend!

The perfect way to enjoy the Margare River region

Poppy 26 May 2021

We couldn't think of a better way to spend a day in the beautiful Margaret River region. Our small group started with a gentle paddle on the river with perfect conditions. We had been promised we wouldn't get wet and we were in no danger, not even a splash. We enjoyed the bird life and reflected scenery. Our winery lunch was superb, great food and wines in a lovely setting. Finally the scenery on our walk was breathtaking and we even saw whales. We got a great perspective on the region and learned a lot, but in a fun informal setting. Sean was a great and informative host, and we recommend this tour to anyone! Thank you Sean for the wonderful day and the great photos.

Enjoyable day

Jen 5 May 2017

The day was lovely, showing many of Australia's beauty. More canoeing would be great closer to the mouth of the River. However, it was relaxing and enjoyable. The wine tasting and lunch well provided, with an informed guide. The 4th and coastal walk excellent and exhilarating.

A lovely enlightening day

John 26 February 2016

Sean was an excellent, pleasant, informative guide who managed to take us all out of our city lifestyles and make us aware of the real things in life we should be more focused on. We were very impressed by the whole day.
