Donnelly River Cruises

Winner of 4 Western Australian Tourism Awards including Ecotourism in 2009. Donnelly River cruises is an award-winning experience not to be missed. Operating daily, with bus pick-ups also available from Pemberton and Manjimup, Donnelly River Cruises conducts a river cruise of the lower twelve-kilometre section of the Donnelly River, within the confines of the D’Entrecasteaux National Park, in the South West of Western Australia. The cruise area, including the beach landing, encompasses an area that is not accessible by 4-wheel drive and is only accessible by boat. The atmosphere of the cruise is to “sit back, relax and enjoy” as you meander through the diversified eco systems of the river. In a conversational format where you are encouraged to join in, Peter & Shaun will enlighten you about the river, the ecology and geology of the area, the fauna and flora and some of the history of the area. The scenery is constantly changing as you commence in lush Jarrah and Marri forests, and then pass through the Paperbark and wetlands, past the limestone cliffs, to the majestic Southern Ocean. On the way you will cruise past the unique holiday huts nestled amongst the towering Marri trees and coastal dunes. While at the mouth of the river, you are given the opportunity to disembark and experience the isolation and pristine quality of the area, with a walk along the beach for about half an hour. The beach is approximately 2 km long confined by rocky outcrops at each end with no vehicle access at all. You are able to stroll along the soft white beaches in virtual isolation except for possibly a few locals trying their hand at some beach fishing. After toe tapping with the Southern Ocean, you will make your way back to the boat where you begin the return journey with a morning or afternoon tea complimented by Pete’s “fantastic” muffins.There is no one photo to depict this amazing cruise!!!

Pemberton Mountain Bike Park

Reviewed By leanne_pearc

We often come down to Pemberton for the quiet and a spot of riding. One of the best aspects about the park is the location and connection to other trails like the Munda Biddi and Big Brook Dam. It is under five minutes from the main strip of Pemberton. Riding under the tree canopy is pretty special. Block C is fun with some flow and a great uphill trail if you like hills. Block A has some great features, a personal favourite is the dh trail cool running. The bank below the old trains also has some flat singletrack, great for a little zip around. Given these trails are maintained by volunteers, they are super fun trails.

Big Brook Dam

Reviewed By bhollida3 - Busselton, Australia

Lovely little place to swim, picnic, soak up some sun or walk around. Picnic tables, shade and parking are plenty. There's a great sealed path way going around the lake with wooden cabins so often you can walk into, sit and read some info or look out over the lake. We had our dog with us which was not allowed on the beach sand and had to stay on the lead.
