Great day! - Had a lovely day. Cara our host for the day was brilliant and went above and beyond what we would have expected. She took us to places we would never have found on our own. Her knowledge was excellent. We inadvertently left our phone on the bus and she cheerfully returned it early next morning. We cannot speak highly enough of her.

A wonderful day in the Wheatbelt and New Norcia - We spent a wonderful day with Cara and 3 other guests in the Wheatbelt and New Norcia. We visited small, family run businesses (a beautiful botanical aviary/gardens/cafe, a honey farm / restaurant and a goat farm, which produced yummie cheeses and gelato). The variety of attractions really appealed to us and the small group size made us feel like we were having a day out with friends. The tour guide, Cara, was brilliant, informative and flexible. The afternoon we spent in New Norcia, where we had a few options to choose from. We (and the rest of the group) opted to join the town tour, which we absolutely loved. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and we were blown away by what we saw and heard. To close the day with a locally produced drink with the group was just a lovely ending to a beautiful day. We can thoroughly recommend this tour. Thank you so much, Cara, for a wonderful, interesting and relaxing day!!

A Grand Day Out - We had a delightful and very personal trip with Cara. In fact we were the only two customers that day due to a cancellation and rescheduling by others. Unlike other trips, the pace was set by us and there was never any urgency to move on. Limestone Park and aviary is family run as is the goat farm. We can recommend also eating at the monastery as it is such a contrast to the typical cafe or restaurant. The time passed very quickly in the company of Cara who gave us a great insight into the way of life here.

History and local business's - It's off the beaten track, with visits to local attractions (Aviary/gardens), local food producers (Cheese, Ice Cream, Honey etc), with some history thrown in, when you visit the historic town.

Van was roomy and very clean and water, sunscreen and umbrellas were supplied. - Most enjoyable day spent visiting a great free flight bird park. Little Eden honey farm, where we were served a tasty lunch. Final stop was a very interesting 2 hour guided tour of the New Norcia Monastery and surrounding buildings. Thoroughly recommended.

Fantastic Day - I had a truly lovely day and want to thank Cara for being such a thoughtful and knowledgeable host. At New Norcia, I decided not to do the guided tour and instead spent some of the time with Clara and the rest exploring on my own. I really enjoyed our peaceful walk along the river, crossing the bridge, and searching for the old aporary — a quiet and memorable part of the day. I learned so much just through that time and appreciated the relaxed pace. The visits to the bee farm and the bird park were both highlights — so much beauty, interesting stops, and a great mix of experiences. And I must say, the vehicle was incredibly comfortable, and I loved watching the scenery roll by through the windows — it made the whole day feel calm and unrushed. Thank you, Cara, for a beautifully planned and well-hosted trip. I truly enjoyed every part of it. Ruth - South Africa

Fantastic trip - I had a fantastic experience on this tour. Cara was friendly and knowledgeable, and we enjoyed visiting the beautiful bird park, where holding the birds was a unique experience. The honey farm was delightful, and we got to taste a variety of delicious honeys. The food was excellent, the gardens were gorgeous, and the canola fields were stunning. The historical sites we visited were also memorable. Overall, it was a wonderful and enriching experience!

A Perfectly Curated Experience – Birds, Bees & Beautiful History - We had the most wonderful day hosted by Cara, and I honestly can’t recommend this experience enough! From the moment we were picked up, Cara was warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable. She made the whole day flow beautifully — sharing insights, stories, and little local gems along the way that made each stop feel extra special. One of the absolute highlights was our visit to Limestone Park Bird Sanctuary — a truly beautiful, peaceful place filled with stunning native birds. The setting was serene, and the experience of being up close with the birds (in such a respectful and natural environment) was unforgettable. Cara clearly has a deep appreciation for the places she shares, and her genuine enthusiasm made everything even more enjoyable. At the bee farm, we enjoyed a delicious honey tasting and a relaxed lunch in a picturesque setting — everything was fresh, tasty, and perfectly timed. Then, exploring New Norcia with Cara was like stepping into another world. Her knowledge of the town’s rich history added depth and meaning to what we were seeing — it wasn’t just sightseeing; it was storytelling. What stood out most about Cara was her attention to detail, her calm and friendly nature, and the way she made everyone feel included and at ease. She struck the perfect balance between informative and relaxed — we never felt rushed, and she was always happy to answer questions or give us time to explore. This wasn’t just a tour — it was a truly memorable day, made special by an exceptional host. Thank you, Cara — we’re still smiling and already telling our friends to book!
