Check out the Wild West!

Book your Hobie adventure in Western Australia. Stay on a bit longer and after your visit to the South West, head up to Perth to watch Sail GP!

Fly direct from Melbourne or Sydney but we do recommend the Nullarbor drive! Stay tuned for travel tips and places to see on your way to the West Coast.

Visit the south west of Western Australia, the City of Busselton is just 2.5 hours south of Perth and is the gateway to the Busselton Margaret River premium wine region with a breathtaking coastline. Visit surf breaks and picture-perfect beaches along Cape Naturaliste, Geographe and Eagle Bay, walk the Cape to Cape Track with prime views of the coastline, whales and wildfl owers to passers-by, while the Ngilgi Cave showcases a spectacular world beneath the ground.

There's also a vibrant arts hub with plenty of museums and galleries waiting to be viewed, not to mention a food, wine and a craft beer scene and plenty of accommodation options ranging from absolute beachfront five star resorts, private villas, family fun holiday parks, bed and breakfasts and everything in between! Get a taste of sailing in the West in this pristine location, Geographe Bay in Busselton and take a peek at the south west, something for everyone:
