The high-pitched whine of a Cessna prop draws you forward as the seaplane eases off the water and climbs over the Indian Ocean, the coastline folding out beneath you: sandstone headlands, the long line of Busselton Jetty, and the green ribbons of vineyards inland.

The high-pitched whine of a Cessna prop draws you forward as the seaplane eases off the water and climbs over the Indian Ocean, the coastline folding out beneath you: sandstone headlands, the long line of Busselton Jetty, and the green ribbons of vineyards inland.
This five-hour small-group excursion pairs aerial exhilaration with slow, intentional tasting. The Margaret River region has been producing boutique wines since the 1960s; soils of ancient gravelly loam over limestone and a maritime climate give Cabernet and Chardonnay bright structure. Geology and the ocean shape more than flavor—karri and jarrah forests, wildflower-strewn verges in spring, and a coastline that was charted by early European explorers and inhabited for millennia by the Wadandi (Noongar) people.
On the ground you'll visit two award-winning wineries for guided tastings and a chef-prepared lunch served with regional produce. The tour minimizes walking—wineries are accessed by vehicle—and the seaplane turns travel time into a scenic leg that opens up otherwise long drives.
Practical guide: the whole experience runs about five hours with hotel pickup in Perth; maximum group size is 12. Weight restrictions apply (no passengers over 120 kg) and the minimum age is 8. Dress smart-casual with enclosed shoes; cameras and polarized sunglasses are helpful for glare off the water. If you’re prone to motion sickness, take preventative medication before boarding. Book early in peak summer—clear mornings make for the best visibility—but be prepared for schedule changes in windy or wet winter conditions.
The mix of airborne views and intimate tastings makes this a distinct way to see southwest Western Australia—fast travel, slow enjoyment.

Margaret River became a recognized wine region in the 1960s; its maritime climate and limestone geology were soon identified as ideal for cool-climate grapes.
The region balances tourism with conservation—many wineries practice minimal-intervention viticulture and local groups work to protect native bushland and coastal dunes.
