Tour guide was really knowledgeable. Nice guy. Tour was great but 1 negative the tour itself wasn't what was stated. It said we would have a platter lunch and a winery tour. we got neither of these. Lunch was great and tasty but it was a meal not a platter and there was no winery tour either. I do understand there has been a few changes due to winerys leaving the area but I think maybe the explanation of the tour when booking needs to be changed(updated) it was still a great day though. Thoroughly enjoyed

Cruise the sheltered waters of Oyster Harbour and the ancient Kalgan River whilst listening to a live and humerous commentary about the history, wildlife and why Albany is the home of ANZAC. With more the eighteen years of us cruising the wildlife has accepted us as part of the eco system. You will get up close and personal at the same time as learning about what you are seeing. The vessel also has a glass bottom.

9am-1pm cruising Oyster Harbour and the Kalgan River. Captain Jack is informative and very entertaining. The scenery and wildlife are wonderful but even if none existed Captain Jack would make the outing one to remember anyway. Highly recommend.

What an appalling experience today. Not only did we have to endure a diatribe of being told every Latin name of every plant we passed, we also had to put up with tour leader John who consistently veered out of his lane and even overshot the entry to the lunch venue. And then lunch was interesting. The tour company didn’t adjust the numbers on the tour so the venue was short three lunches. Okay, mistakes happen but you’d think tour leader John would ensure all of his passengers would have a lunch. But no, John just sat down and ate one of the lunches whilst three people sat without food. So effectively John ate my lunch. Denise, another Adams employee did her best to rectify the situation but John kept chowing down on a paying customers lunch! And now let’s discuss the trip back in evening. Not only did John fail to plan to factor a meal time, he didn’t care about any dietary requirements or that we had elderly passengers within the group. We had 15 minutes in Margaret River, after 5pm when most things are closed, to get a snack, a bit later we stopped at a closed roadhouse, and a little later a quick stop at a petrol station so some of us could buy some lukewarm pies. Overall John was an awful representative of this company and I’ll never consider a tour with Adams again. John needs to consider retirement because he is not customer focussed and failed his duty of care to this tour group, he’s simply an embarrassment for Adams.

What a great experience. I am a bit of a nervous flyer but the guys' cheerful banter put me at ease right from the start. I would do it again in a minute.
