  • Overview

    Journey to the historical Oliver Hill Guns and Tunnel Fortification and take in the amazing views of Rottnest Island. This tour begins with an informative ride up Oliver Hill, passing some iconic and historical landmarks on the island.

    Upon arriving at Oliver Hill, be taken on a guided tour through the stunning tunnel system that once played a crucial role in Australia’s military defence in World War II.

    The area is still preserved with Rottnest’s WWII guns and tunnels, which commemorate its military history and our soldiers who fought to defend the shores of Western Australia.

    Rottnest Island was a key part of the Western Australian defence during WWII. The island was home to intricate secret tunnels and housed 9.2″ guns to protect against invading Axis forces.

    Post-war, the 9.2-inch battery on the island was saved from disposal due to the high cost of removal and shipping the guns to the mainland. This led to the preservation of the military artefacts. Now, this equipment provides a look at the rich history of the Western Australia defence force and attracts many visitors to the area every year.

    Went on a wonderful 13.5 hour day trip from Perth to the Margaret River area seeing the Busselton jetty, the Mammoth Caves, a delicious burger lunch plus a wine tasting at the Cheeky Monkey vineyard as well as the Leeuwin Lighthouse and meeting of oceans finished by a wander around the Margaret River town. Along the way we saw kangaroos, beautiful Caves Road as well as farms and farm animals. Our guide Gordon was brilliant. Not just a safe driver in our big luxury coach but he “made” the trip with his vast knowledge and way of conveying heaps of information in an interesting and fun way. Learnt so much about so much! Toilet breaks were also well planned and welcome. It’s a shame we couldn’t walk on the jetty but totally understand there’s no time to do so. Also a shame the wine tasting was with poor quality rough wines (luckily very small splashes!) which may or may not be explained by this season not being a good one due to the hot dry weather. (Luckily we bought a glass of Merlot from a previous year with lunch which was smooth and full bodied so I have not dropped Cheeky Monkey wines off my radar). These things didn’t spoil the day. Thoroughly recommend this company and this tour.

    I joined the tour, really like it, it is amazing. I have a chance to visit during sunset and nighttime. Lots of fly, do take note. Also, do not walk too far, and it will easily get lost.

    The Pinnacles & star gazing tour would be one of my highlights. This amazing natural formation that looks like something out of a prehistoric movie set. Our driver & tour guide, Chris has given me a whole new appreciation of the amazing world above, so knowledgeable & informative. Just be prepared for the onslaught of flies, depending on the time of the year. Highly recommend 👌

    Super Tour. Brand new and comfortable bus with USB ports, toilet, and leather seats. The guide is incredibly knowledgeable sharing insights about local history, geology, fungi, flora, fauna, physics, and astronomy. 🪐 Super impressive the sheer amount of facts and breadth of knowledge.

    We had a great time exploring and sandboarding at Lancelin. Robby is very accommodating, helpful and friendly. Skilled and gave us a good tour through the sand dunes. He took us to a remote part of the dunes to experience sandboarding. Booking is easy. Definitely recommended.
