Trade the coach for a wetsuit and a fat bike: this two-hour Margaret River outing mixes coasteering along rugged reef with a fat-bike loop through Boranup's karri forest. Expect rock-hopping, short swims and mellow forest singletrack paired with local natural and cultural context.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The ocean is immediate here: waves pushing at rock shelves, spray cutting through the morning light, and karri trunks rising cool and straight behind you. On a two-hour Margaret River adventure you swap bus windows for a wetsuit, helmet and the scrape of gravel under fat tyres. The coastal section asks you to read the reef—boulder hops, short swims and optional low jumps—while the Boranup ride threads mellow singletrack and sandy forest roads beneath towering karri canopy.

Check tide times
Low tide exposes safer rock lines for coasteering and reveals tidepools—plan your booking around the tide chart.

Closed-toe shoes with good tread make both rock-hopping and sandy forest sections far more secure.
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
You’ll be in shorts of sun and salt; choose biodegradable sunscreen to protect kelp beds and marine life.
Listen to your guide on jumps
Guides set optional jump points—follow their line and don’t attempt jumps if you’re unsure or the sea is rough.
