About this tour
A customisable six-hour private exploration of the Perth Hills, a forested range just 30 minutes from the city centre. Work with your driver to piece together a day around bushwalking, vineyard visits, wildflower viewing (spring), or meals at local restaurants. Winter brings swollen creeks and wattle blooms; spring showcases tulip festivals and native wildflowers. The Bickley Valley section is particularly rewarding for orchards, ciders and food stops.
Highlights
- Darling Mountain Range bushwalks through native forest
- Bickley Valley wineries and cideries, flexible visiting
- August-October wildflower season and Araluen Tulip Festival
- Winter wattle displays and creek-fed waterfalls
- Local restaurants and farm-to-table lunch options
- Scenic drives through orchard country
What to expect
You'll spend the day navigating a region of dense bushland and agricultural valleys tailored entirely to your interests. If bushwalking appeals, expect gentle to moderate trails through eucalypt forest with creek crossings; in winter these flow vigorously after rain. Wine and cider stops are relaxed affairs, often family-run. Spring visitors will encounter paddocks ablaze with native wildflowers and, at Araluen, formal tulip gardens. Lunch happens where you choose—vineyard platters, roadside cafés, or picnic spots are all on the table. Your driver acts as local guide, responding to what catches your eye.
Good to know
Book ahead and confirm your preferred mix of activities (walks, wineries, dining) with the operator. Moderate fitness required for bushwalking; winter offers the most water flow and greenery. Spring is peak wildflower season but busier. Bring sturdy shoes and a water bottle. Lunch costs are separate.
