Western Australia Small Group Tours
Western Australia is a little different from the east. Ready to see how? Imagine Perth's laid-back vibe, Margaret River's wines, swimming with whale sharks at Ningaloo Reef, those weird Pinnacles in the desert, and taking quokka selfies on Rottnest Island. WA feels more remote and wild than the eastern cities, and it’s captivating.

Reviews of Small Group tours to Western Australia
I had the most amazing week of my life, exploring the nature of Western Australia and meeting wonderful friends. Geoff did a great job, and we are grateful for that.
7 Day Perth to Exmouth Explorer & Ningaloo Reef Return - from Perth
- Best of Perth, Margaret River & Rottnest Island
Hi, The trip was very relaxing and recharging for me. I enjoyed it very much. It was great opportunity to meet people from different parts of Australia and from overseas in the group on the tour. I had such a great time exploring Western Australia and trying out new things. The weather was perfect in April, and we did some bushwalking and swimming as well. The travel was comfortable and entertaining. The accommodation was good, aging at some locations but clean. Very interesting tours to vineries for tasting local wines, chocolates. If we had more time on the last two days, I would prefer spending it exploring Freemantle with the Guide. And I think more than one day needed to spend on Rottnest Island. And I wish we had more time allocated to spend in Basselton. Our guide Sean provided great care managing our all-ladies group and we always were on time at different points of our destination. The chosen location for having meals were good and the food was excellent. My diet restriction options (gluten free, vegetarian) were always met. I'm grateful to Sean for sharing his knowledge about Australian history of this region and Aboriginal culture. I'm impressed that he was able answering all our questions. It was very interesting journey into Ngilgi Cave and meeting with Aboriginal guide, who happily presented stories about life of his people. I highly recommend this tour for people, who are interested in active, relaxing and informative vocation. Thank you!
- geoff was an excellent tour guide, very informative, kind, and a great laugh! - unfortunately missed out on a few things due to weather / road accidents but these were made up for in other sites and activities - i made 2 friends for life, so had an absolutely great time with lots of laughs - bus was clean and a nice drive - would definitely use autopia for tours again! and would definitely recommend visiting Western Australia, most amazing place i’ve ever been!
