Hello! We are The Margaret River Discovery Co
About

Many visitors to the region don’t really experience the true grandeur, history or ecological diversity of the remarkable South West. The Margaret River Discovery Company offers personalised tours, hosted by expert local guide Sean Blocksidge and his luxury 4WD on a wine and scenic tour that takes you behind the tourist facade, away from the masses to discover people and places you won’t find on your own. Our aim is to give you the most memorable wine touring experience you’ll ever have and, in the process, really experience the richness and diversity of this unique corner of the world. The best way to describe the touring is experiential. Instead of seeing the world through a tinted hire car window we’ll go places and do things so you don’t just see Margaret River – you live it. If you share our philosophy, we invite you on a tour down the back roads of Margaret River on an experience you’ll never forget.

We had an incredible day, Sean was a fab host and very knowledgeable about every aspect of the tour and more! He is a genuinely lovely person and made us feel so welcome and included in our tour. Canoeing was beautiful and so peaceful on a part of the river that is rarely used, its very relaxing and would definitely say anybody could do it! (100% our favourite part of the day!) Lunch and wine tasting was also amazing and we loved the short hike at the end of the day. All round it is absolutely worth the money for a more intimate, genuine tour of Margaret River. You get to see places most people don't know about/find and Sean adds a great atmosphere to the tour.

We had the best day ever. Sean, our guide, was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic you couldn't help but have a good time. The fact it was only a small group made it more personal, there were only 7 of us, this included Sean. Canoeing on Margaret River was magical, so peaceful. I got to sit in the middle, which meant I didn't have to do anything, result!! Lunch at one of the vineyards was also a highlight, Sean arranged for us to have exclusive access where we got to taste several different types of wine, not to mention had a delicious lunch. Finished the day off by heading to the coast and going completely off track. Somewhere we would never have found or gone to on our own, the views were stunning. If you go to Margaret River, be sure to book this trip, you won't be disappointed.

This has to be the best way to enjoy a visit to Margaret River. Alison and myself thoroughly enjoyed our day out with Sean, the peace and quiet of the river as we slowly canoed down it, the feel of the wind and crash of the waves as we walked along the cliffs contrasted so well. Add to that an exclusive visit to a top vineyard, with a personalised tour not available to many visitors. In the grounds we then picnicked in the sun, eating local produce paired with excellent quality wines. Sean is an excellent host, and keeps the tours to only 5 or 6 people, a very personalised service. In all a perfect day. We are now in our golden years, but more than capable of enjoying this tour.

My dad and I both had only one day in Margaret river and we could not be happier that we chose Sean’s tour. Canoeing on Margaret river, lunch in a beautiful barrel room with outstanding wines and lovely knowledgeable hosts and topping off the day with some 4wd and walking tracks on the cape to cape coastline. Sean is brimming with local insight, animated and engaging which all made for a jam packed day to also be relaxing. I would more than highly recommend this tour :) thank you Sean!!

This was, far and away, the best tour we have been on in Australia. In fact, I can't think of a better day tour we have been on anywhere in the world. We started the morning canoeing on the Margaret River. Sean had everything set up, ready to go. All we had to do was step into the (very stable, well-maintained) canoes and enjoy the serenity. Straight up we saw rare black tailed cockatoos. Another highlight was the behind-the-scenes tour and lunch at Fraser Gallop Estate. Gorgeous wines paired with a delicious lunch of local produce sourced by Sean. The tour ended with a 4WD to a section of the Cape to Cape track that we were able to hike. Spectacular views, combined with the engaging, knowledgeable commentary we had experienced from Sean all day. Yes, we saw plenty of wildlife, and ate and drank great produce throughout. The whole day was refreshing, engaging, and exhilarating. My wife and I went on the tour on 21st Dec 2023, and we cannot recommend it highly enough. Just do it. There won't be any regrets.
