Great day out. Our guide was Tim and he had lots of information. Scenery was gorgeous and we saw so much of the area. We even got a quick visit to the War Memorial as an extra surprise. Really enjoyed the beauty of The Gap and Natural Bridge. Beautiful part of the world.

The tour guide Susan really knew her information, I just don't think she was in tune with our group. Lots of senior citizens and it was hard to keep up with her. She also allowed 2 people to monopolize her attention a lot. It was quite chilly with wicked winds and I think she did not take that into account. There were a lot of times where most of the group were back at the van waiting for her to unlock it.

Had a great half day tour of the Gap and sights around Albany. Small group. Tim, our guide was knowledgeable and entertaining - a story for all occasions and great fun. Highly recommended.

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

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.

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.

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.

Irene P

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.

Janice W

Was a very windy day and cold but nevertheless awesome. Easily accessible along a well constructed pathway. Nature creates miracles for us to view and enjoy

You can gauge an organization best when things goo wrong unexpectedly! We were booked on this tour and sadly my wife and I could not make it due to Covid. Big Blue was fantastic to deal with through out the whole thing and refunded our funds. We plan to get back to Albany and we will definitely use their services.
