Combine Australia's natural beauty with charming towns, and wine tasting and you have a four-hour excursion that makes an ideal Busselton experience.
On a panoramic drive, you'll follow the beautiful 18-mile coastline of Geographe Bay towards the sun-drenched seaside town of Dunsborough — the northernmost town in Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park, This area is known for its rugged limestone sea cliffs and windswept granite headlands stretching to the southern shores of Cape Leeuwin.
From here you'll continue along Geographe Bay towards the famed Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse, which marks the northern tip of Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park.
Activated in 1904, the 66-foot-tall cylindrical tower was built from limestone quarried from nearby Bunker Bay. Peering out over Geographe Bay at 403 feet above sea level, the lighthouse boasts superb views of the stunning coastline, the Indian Ocean, and the Margaret River wine region.
At Canal Rocks, a natural phenomenon 700 million years in the making, take photos of the formations of orange colored granite jutting into the ocean and separated by a series of canals that have been hollowed out by the pounding sea. Marvel at the ocean's beauty and power from the short boardwalk and bridge that traverse the canals.
Named for the Aboriginal word meaning "Place of Love," Yallingup is home to the Ngilgi Cave — a revered Aboriginal site and a popular tourist attraction. At the local winery here, you'll have ample time to sip, savor and shop before rejoining your coach for the ride back to the ship.
