Most enjoyable day spent visiting a great free flight bird park. Little Eden honey farm, where we were served a tasty lunch. Final stop was a very interesting 2 hour guided tour of the New Norcia Monastery and surrounding buildings. Thoroughly recommended.

I had a truly lovely day and want to thank Cara for being such a thoughtful and knowledgeable host. At New Norcia, I decided not to do the guided tour and instead spent some of the time with Clara and the rest exploring on my own. I really enjoyed our peaceful walk along the river, crossing the bridge, and searching for the old aporary — a quiet and memorable part of the day. I learned so much just through that time and appreciated the relaxed pace. The visits to the bee farm and the bird park were both highlights — so much beauty, interesting stops, and a great mix of experiences. And I must say, the vehicle was incredibly comfortable, and I loved watching the scenery roll by through the windows — it made the whole day feel calm and unrushed. Thank you, Cara, for a beautifully planned and well-hosted trip. I truly enjoyed every part of it. Ruth - South Africa

I had a fantastic experience on this tour. Cara was friendly and knowledgeable, and we enjoyed visiting the beautiful bird park, where holding the birds was a unique experience. The honey farm was delightful, and we got to taste a variety of delicious honeys. The food was excellent, the gardens were gorgeous, and the canola fields were stunning. The historical sites we visited were also memorable. Overall, it was a wonderful and enriching experience!

We had the most wonderful day hosted by Cara, and I honestly can’t recommend this experience enough! From the moment we were picked up, Cara was warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable. She made the whole day flow beautifully — sharing insights, stories, and little local gems along the way that made each stop feel extra special. One of the absolute highlights was our visit to Limestone Park Bird Sanctuary — a truly beautiful, peaceful place filled with stunning native birds. The setting was serene, and the experience of being up close with the birds (in such a respectful and natural environment) was unforgettable. Cara clearly has a deep appreciation for the places she shares, and her genuine enthusiasm made everything even more enjoyable. At the bee farm, we enjoyed a delicious honey tasting and a relaxed lunch in a picturesque setting — everything was fresh, tasty, and perfectly timed. Then, exploring New Norcia with Cara was like stepping into another world. Her knowledge of the town’s rich history added depth and meaning to what we were seeing — it wasn’t just sightseeing; it was storytelling. What stood out most about Cara was her attention to detail, her calm and friendly nature, and the way she made everyone feel included and at ease. She struck the perfect balance between informative and relaxed — we never felt rushed, and she was always happy to answer questions or give us time to explore. This wasn’t just a tour — it was a truly memorable day, made special by an exceptional host. Thank you, Cara — we’re still smiling and already telling our friends to book!

Wonderfull day travelling the countryside. My favourite stop was the tiny little Goat Farm, the goats were happy and I was happy sampling their fresh cheese and gelatos. Our guide showed us all the great photo spots at New Norcia. The day was a mixture of different activities and I give 5 stars to them all.
