The sooner you get to Bunbury, the more chance you have of meeting the friendly wild dolphins at the Bunbury Dolphin Discovery Centre, so hit the road early. It’s just a two-hour drive from Perth, heading south on the Kwinana Freeway and Forrest Highway, and once you’re there you have a number of dolphin experiences to choose from. Take a dolphin swim tour. Hop on a dolphin eco cruise. Or wait for the dolphins come to you at the interaction zone on the beach – if they’re not at the shoreline when you arrive, pop into the centre to learn all about the dolphins and local marine life. Alternatively, you can opt to take the scenic country route from Perth through the picturesque rolling pastures and orchards of Harvey and Dardanup, picking up some fresh local produce along the way. Lunch at a Bunbury cafe, restaurant or brewery. Or head out to Bunbury’s very own Garden of Eden – the Ferguson Valley – and enjoy views of the vineyards as you dine. Adventure seekers will find plenty of great challenges and thrills in an afternoon exploring the forested valleys of Collie and Wellington National Park. Choose from a wide array of accommodation options in and around Bunbury for your overnight stay.
