This is such an awesome natural wonder. The view is amazing and there are safety barriers in place. Really worth a drive.

Tim picked us up promptly at our caravan park in an immaculately clean vehicle. He is an engaging person, full of knowledge about Albany and its surrounds - we could not have appreciated this itinerary if we’d tried to do it on our own. The coastal scenery is amazing, then being up close to the wind turbines, and finally the view of Albany from Mount Melville. Oh, and the scones and tea at the whale centre were great too. Highly recommend this tour, especially if Tim is leading it.

Albany is a place I never thought we'd venture to given its distance from Perth but, you can now fly direct from Melbourne to Busselton with Jetstar and pick up your hire car at the airport which makes the distance much less daunting. The drive from the Margaret River is easy... not much traffic and you travel through beautiful forests and farmland all the way. You will encounter some large and long trucks along the way but there is ample opportunity to pass them on the journey and there are enough petrol/food/restrooms to stop at. It took us approximately 4 hours from Dunsborough to get there and worth a mention is, make sure you have some of your own music to play on the journey as radio stations are few and far between and not very appealing with music choice. You need to book your accommodation well in advance because Tourism has become a large contributor to the economy there. Having said all this...is it worth it?? Absolutely yes on so many levels. It is quite a large town with a great history. The people are welcoming and the food is amazing. The scenery is excellent.. many beautiful beaches (Middleton Beach has so much to offer), great landscapes and an easy drive to The Gap and Natural Bridge. We continued down to Esperance after 3 nights in the Albany area but, that's another story and must do for so many reasons. South west Western Australia has so much to offer beyond the Margaret River region. Australia is so vast and remote areas may not be as appealing for very young families due to the tyranny of distance but for those of you that are willing, it's worth it and airlines are starting to pick up on this.

I booked The Gap and Natural Wonders Tour tour with Busy Blue Bus rather than take the cruise ship excursion which was shorter and way more expensive. We were picked up at the cruise port and it turned out all the people on my tour were from my cruise ship. There were 10 people on my tour in a minibus. We had ample time at all of the attractions and our guide walked with us and gave explanations and answered any questions. Our guide loved Albany and gave a lot of information about the city too. We stopped for a delicious scone and hot chocolate at the Whaling Station. Torndirrup National Park is a must see when in Albany. We also visited The Albany Wind Farm.

Susan our guide for the walk departed lots of useful information on the Albany area, flora & visual explanation for ascending the summit.

Susan provided a safe early morning trip to Bremer Bay to meet the naturalistic Orca tour, then returned us back to Albany. A long drive but she managed it well.

This tour was such a fun day. Susan was a great guide and had so much knowledge of the area. Ended up only being the 2 of us however we still got to go on the tour it wasn’t cancelled. We both had a blast and got so much goodies from each place we visited. Would highly recommend this tour with Busy Blue Bus Tours.

Our tour with Busy Blue Bus was a little different from the usual. As we were the only couple on the tour we had a private driver with the lovely Kathleen. We had a great day with a lot of local knowledge. We had a lovely lunch with wine mead and chocolates to finish the day. This was a great way to spend the day.

The walk from car park to top is roughly 2.4 kms but at your own pace it is doable for most. The rock scrambles at the top require a little bit of coordination but I guarantee you the view is worth it! We got up there quite early so still had some cloud cover which was amazing, then the clouds started to break and the view became breathe taking. We even got to see some small icicles in the air floating about. Unforgettable….

What a cracker of a trip this was. Essentially a half day trip that saw us visit a number of sights with the highlight being The Gap. Ducked into some little beaches, squeezed in a few leisurely little walks, took in some amazing views, even had time for morning tea. Packed in a whole lot in a short time but never felt rushed. Phillip was a wonderful guide too , friendly, caring and very knowledgeable. That’s three great trips with The Busy Blue Bus. Thank you to Susan and her team.

Our day started on time when we were greeted at our accommodation by a friendly, enthusiastic guide. We chatted intently on our way to pick up other guests and it became obvious that it was going to be an interesting and enjoyable day. Tim is a very knowledgeable person and a fantastic guide. The walk itself is fairly straightforward but Tim helped us negotiate some tricky rock hopping right at the top. The skywalk is amazing and well worth the effort to make it up the hill. Lunch at the winery afterwards was a nice touch and Tim took the time over lunch to show me other worthwhile walks in the area. Thank you Tim and thank you Busy Blue Bus.

Seeing the Killer Whales has been a bucket list item for me and my wife and choosing The Busy Blue Bus to get us to Bremer Bay was the smart option. It was a memorable day, but also long and tiring so we were grateful that we could sit back and relax. Susan was punctual and professional and drove in a safe manner. She is also very well organised, and displays a caring nature. Susan took care of our booking for this and two other trips and the process was hassle free. We can’t thank Susan enough for helping us enjoy a day that we will long remember and we have no hesitation in recommending The Busy Blue Bus to other visitors to Albany.

I really got a lot out of this tour. Susan was an interesting and thoroughly well informed guide. There is no way as a solo traveller I could have achieved as much as I did on this tour. We had great weather and The Gap is just out of this world.

We did the tour to The Gap and Natural wonders while on our cruise that stopped in Albany. We were pleased that there were only 7 of us on the tour. Our guide was interesting and knew a lot about the area. We stopped for tea and scones at the whaling museum but felt this was too long a stop, over an hour. The scones were not very good. Also we felt the stop at the wind farm was not needed.

We had an excellent day. Our driver and guide was very good at explaining the history and fortes of the different wineries. The owners of the wineries are very hard working and uet have all the time you want to discuss and appreciate the eines.
