Top Albany Tours, Sightseeing & Cruises

Torndirrup's coastal sights are scattered along a rugged stretch south of Albany, across Princess Royal Harbour, and awkward to link on your own.

See the Gap and the Natural Bridge, where the waves break against the granite walls.

The Granite Skywalk at Porongurup rewards you with Southern Ocean views, but reaching it means a moderate walk and a scramble that's easier with a guide who knows the route.

Finish with a stop at a local winery for Western Australia's regional food and wine.
