Half-Day Pemberton National Parks Beach and Forest Eco Adventure

Lots of fun. Expect some sections to be bumpy but all sections offering exceptional scenery. Good knowledge from our guide Graham and expert 4 wheel driving.

This tour is an absolute must to do when visiting Pemberton. My husband and I joined this very enjoyable 4 wheel drive tour today, seeing the forest, sand dunes and ocean. All along the journey we were provided with a very informative commentary by Graeme who was inclusive of all on board answering our questions with professionalism. The tour was well paced and at no time did we feel rushed. Our group was small and well catered for with a lovely lunch. Thank you Graeme

An excellent tour of the forest and beach. Graeme was friendly, informative and an outstanding driver over the tricky sand dunes. Lunch was great. I recommend this tour to anyone

Fantastic trip through diverse environments from forest to dunes to sea. Graeme shared his knowledge of the area and was the perfect guide. The trip in the van was good as was the food and the company friendly. Would thoroughly recommend this trip - a great way to see something of the country off the beaten track.

We were a small group, so we were in the smaller vehicle. It was great to see the scenery and views. The information given throughout the trip was very informative and interesting. Lunch was included, a big sandwich roll, fruit and a coffee. Very tasty. There is also a toilet stop for those who need it. The only thing to improve it for me would have been a little portable step, to help me get into, and out of the truck! As I’m quite short in statue! ( I did mention this to Graeme, our guide.) though I did manage with a bit of help from my husband. As others have mentioned the view you get once over the large sand dune is stunning. All in all, it was quite an adventure going off road, riding through forest and on sand dunes.

What a fantastic tour. Graeme was a superb host with great knowledge and clearly passionate about the environment. We thoroughly enjoyed being with him. Highly recommend.

I did Pemberton Discovery Tour's Beach and Forest Eco Adventure a few days ago with a friend from Canada who was visiting the region. I have done this tour previously on my own in different seasons and once as a private charter with a group of photography friends and was very keen to go again. A wonderful way to show my friend the diverse, rugged and very beautiful landscape that surrounds Pemberton in a safe but exciting way. Graeme, our tour guide and driver has a wealth of knowledge and does an awesome job of sharing his observations over many years in an informative and considered way, answering questions as the tour progressed. Very interesting information on a broad range of topics including history, land use, forestry, geology, botany, bush tucker and wildlife. Graeme goes out of his way to make sure everyone is comfortable, feels safe and gets the most from their experience. The tour is a great mix of quiet contemplation, high exhilaration and fun!! A lovely walk winding past massive old growth Karri Trees, hundreds of years old was extremely thought provoking. The lacy canopy filtered the light and birds flitted about. We saw Spotted Pardalotes, Fantails, Weebills, Scrub Wrens, Golden Whistlers, Rosellas, Purple Crowned Lorikeets and Red-cap Parrots. We also saw emus, kangaroos, a stunning flock of Red-tailed Black Cockatoos and a very handsome goanna. As we entered the Yeagarup sand dunes the landscape changed abruptly. Pure white sand with fascinating ripples and curves that is literally eating the forest. Stark, beautiful and quite fascinating. We climbed the first dune into another world and then pure excitement as Graeme turned the vehicle toward the ocean and navigated the winding 4WD track and rolling dunes, driving with sheer brilliance! So much fun bouncing along, then over a final dune to magnificent views of the Southern Ocean. The beach is windswept and beautiful and feels very remote. We drove to the mouth of the Warren River where we saw a big flock of Crested Terns. The light was perfect and I was able to photograph a few of them having a bath in the river water and then shaking off as they flew back to the main flock along the shoreline. We ate crunchy home grown apples from Graeme and Toni's garden and then drove back through the dunes to a gorgeous picnic spot. Graeme produced a delicious selection of freshly made rolls and a pot of hot gourmet coffee. We were all hungry. The coffee was amazing and so were the rolls!! Truly awesome experience. Myself and my friend are both nature photographers and came away very happy with our images. This tour presents a wonderful range of photographic subjects and is a really lovely way to spend a day! I have been onboard four times now and each time it has been an awesome experience. Absolutely recommend! Once again, huge thankyou to Toni and Graeme!!

The tour did offer magnificent scenery, including old forest, sand dunes and beaches as advertised. We met Graeme our guide at Crossings Bakery at 9am. The tour left some 20mins later than scheduled, as Graeme met friends he hadnt seen in 20years, and we waited until they got reacquainted. No probs, but we had a long drive that afternoon to visit The Giants Treetop walk then onto Denmark. Graeme then collected a personal friend who joined us for the tour, why the guest couldn't join us at the meeting point as we, the paying guests had to, I'm not sure. More time wasted before tour got underway. No info regarding the history of Pemberton, the forest apart from the trees stressing from lower rainfall or how Pemberton Tours was established was offered. The guest however had Graeme's undivided attention with non stop narration, about personal professional development, possible business ventures and attributes on 4WD. I spotted 2 emus which would have made a great photo, but there was no offer to stop, and the discussion with Graeme n friend continued. Guest with us from overseas may been disappointed on missing a photo opportunity. Shortfall on professionalism. Tip: wear long pants due to ever present Marsh flies.

What a great way to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary! Four wheel driving through the forest and on the beach with an experienced driver and knowledgeable environmentalist was a terrific first time experience for our daughter and granddaughter. It was our third time touring with Pemberton Discovery Tours.

A must do tour in the south west of Western Australia. We had a fantastic morning out with Graeme from Pemberton Discovery Tours. Booking with Toni was nice and easy. We were picked up at the Crossings Bakery which is a very short walk from the caravan park. The morning included a drive through the Karri Forest where Graeme explained the history of Pemberton and gave a very interesting commentary of the vegetation within the forest and how it changes along the drive to the coast. There was a short walk through the forest where you can really experience the enormity of the trees. The next stop was at the spectacular Yeagarup Dunes where Graeme gave us an explanation of how the dunes originated and how they are moving slowly into the forest. There was a brief stop at the Yeagarup Hut before the final stop on the beach where the Warren River opens into the Southern Ocean. After all of the recent rain the river was in full flow making a spectacular sight.
