First of All I have to apologize to Sean for taking quite some time to review the Spetacular Day we had with him in Feb 2011 (yes, that is right, a year ago!). Better late then never, I shall say...
We booked based on the TripAdvisor reviews and you cannot be wrong with it ! This Tour is THE reason why we loved so much Margaret River, including the tips he gave to us at the end of the tour (to search by other sites around there).
We did the winery tour, with a glance at the cliffs and also at the local forest tree and the honey tasting that he did as a final surprise for us in the middle of the local forest!
The winery tour and all the access that he has to all of it, with the feeling that you are beeing received as a and old local friend (and not as unwanted noisy tourist group) everywhere.
He is very kind with everyone at the group and capable of pleasing from the oldest to the youngest, no matter what the age group is throughout the day.
Took different ways just to show my wife the wild kangaroos (nice ride !) and great wines he is able to show you around the tours (and please, accept his tips for what are the good wines, he has a very good taste for it !)
Very talkative (and so were we!) he is keen to brief about all that he loves around there.. Ask him for some good tips that he can get you to go to other places if you are driving your own (rented) car..
Sean, thank you very much indeed for your spectacular time around there !!
We loved spending that day with you and would (as we have been) recomend you to everyone ! Nice to know that we were the first Brazilians you had with you...
It is nice to know that you are doing so well, based on the reviews of Trip Advisor, know that it was capable of changing your life (for good !)
Been there Feb 2011 !
I booked this tour six months ahead of our trip to Margaret River and the decision was purely based on the TR reviews. My husband and I met Sean at the Margaret River Visitor Centre on a glorious Tuesday morning and the day just got better and better. Firstly Sean explained that we were the only people on the tour that day. I was amazed but it does happen occasionally about once every nine months!
We started the day canoeing down the river. You are only minutes from town but you feel like you are in a different world of peace and relaxation. My husband and I enjoyed our time on the river.
Next we went to Prevelly for coffee and a quick look at the surf. Whilst in Prevelly Sean showed us some photos of the recent bush fires. We gained a true insight into how the community worked hard to bring the fires under control.
After coffee we stopped off at a stream where it is thought indigenous communities called home 30,000 years ago. It was here we tried some local honey. It was a magical spot.
On the way to lunch we saw our first wild Kangaroos. Sean kindly stopped so we could like some photos. The lunch at Fraser Gallop was a true highlight meeting Clive and Kate the celebrated winemakers at the winery and tasting some magnificent wine. The gourmet lunch from Blue Ginger Deli was lovely.
After a very leisurely lunch we set off into the bush to walk part of the Cape to Cape Track only accessible in a 4x4. The views were amazing and it’s now what I picture on the way to work everyday.
I advise anyone who is thinking of booking this tour to just book it. I promise it will be a amazing day. I’ve done it once but would love to do it again!
Thank you Sean for the most memorable day and remember if you ever need a marketing assistant please give me a ring. I will been very happy to fly in from England!.

I have read many of the reviews (all outstanding) and I can honestly tell you, they do little justice to what you will experience on your day with Sean. The personal touch, passion, and dedication Sean puts into every tour is stunning. His local knowledge and pride in Margaret River is palatable. If you only have one day to spend in Margaret River, this is the way to send it!!!!
As I said, other reviews will list the activities but the moments you experience sitting a top surreal ocean cliffs, in the heart of an unreal winery, to Sean's engaging personality, will be completely your own and that to me is what makes this tour truly special.
If you have come this far to check out the reviews your decision is easy........Just go!!!
After looking for a tour that wasn't just your run of the mill type tour with a bus load of tourists tasting as many vineyards as possible we found Margaret River Discovery Tours. From the start Sean was easy to communicate with and we are so happy when we were lucky enough to book on a day when we were the only people on the tour (must have been pure luck as we heard how busy they usually are).
The whole experience was exactly what we were after from start to finish. Sean included the perfect balance of not just wineries but how the environment of the Margaret River provides such a good platform for growing grapes that produce such premium wines.
Starting with a peaceful and easy canoe down the river and ending with a view of the spectacular coast line could not have been better.
Thanks Sean, for a perfect day and a great appreciation of the Margaret River.

Sean is excellent. There were 3 couples and he knew us all by the end of the day. He went way beyond the norm to make us all have a fun day. You find out why he is pretty fully booked when you complete the day with him. Book early, another couple at our B+B, could not find a spot with him.
Sean's tours have a justifiably high reputation and we had high expectations. We were not disappointed - far from it. In retrospect, our trip to the Margaret River region would have been much the poorer if we hadn't been able to take one of Sean's tours.
Sean is very much the tour and his personal touch makes the day a success. His knowledge and insights are interesting and he has great skill making sure everyone is well looked after.
We took the discovery tour and recommend it highly. The only reason we didn't book both tours was that, sadly, our time was restricted.
