The bucket-list things to do — and who runs each one.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, who runs it, and how to book it direct — so you can weigh it against your ship’s excursion and pick what suits you.
Walk — or ride — the Southern Hemisphere's longest timber-piled jetty, then descend 8 metres into a living coral reef observatory teeming with nudibranchs, octopus and jewel-bright fish. An utterly singular Australian icon.
Slip beneath the surface alongside the world-famous jetty piles and fin past a surreal underwater sculpture trail draped in soft corals and swarming with fish. One of Australia's most extraordinary snorkel experiences, all within Geographe Bay's sheltered, crystal-clear waters.
Immerse yourself in one of the world's great wine regions — world-class Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Semillon — at hand-picked boutique estates, guided by a passionate local expert in an intimate private vehicle. Pure indulgence, an hour from the jetty.
Descend into a 500,000-year-old limestone cavern glittering with stalactites and ancient formations, then scale a 19th-century lighthouse above the wild Indian Ocean. Two bucket-list icons of the Capes region in one seamless day.
Trek a dramatic section of the iconic Cape to Cape Track along the Wilyabrup Sea Cliffs — sheer 80-metre granite ramparts plunging into a sapphire Indian Ocean — with a local expert guide who reads every layer of this ancient coastline.
Board a dedicated whale-watch vessel in the sheltered waters of Geographe Bay — one of Australia's premier humpback and southern right whale corridors — and witness these 40-tonne giants breach and fluking at astonishingly close range.
You know what to do on the day. Here is the trip it belongs to — each one opens as a whole plan, not a list: where to fly in, every port, what it runs.
