Take swim wear if you fancy a swim the river. Knowledgable guides tell you lots about local edible plants and herbs and we got to try various meats, berries and vegetables at lunch along with tasty bread. Canoeing isn’t too strenuous and you’re in a boat with others and share the work. Fun to have a race at the end too.

Awesome trip up and down the river. The food was amazing, great to try some native Australian food. The kangaroo was epic. The guides were friendly and informative. Unfortunately, you can't go into the caves anymore. Great experience.

Best day out

Bernadette_D, Mar 2025
Best day out in Margaret River. Emma, our guide, shared her knowledge of the river, aboriginal stories pertaining to the area, plus the foraged berries nuts fruits and meats to invigorate the group for the journey. It was interesting, exciting spotting birds and peaceful. A wonderful group of people of all ages made it even more pleasurable! Thank you again, Emma!

Bushtucker feast (not a bushtucker trial)

Des_H, Mar 2025
Our Bushtucker canoe trip up the river was excellent. Our guide Emma was a fountain of knowledge and her enthusiasm for the area was infectious. The scenery was spectacular and the bush tucker lunch was surprisingly delicious. Swimming in the river is completely safe as the sandbar across the entrance prevents any sharks getting into the river. We would thoroughly recommend this trip (especially if Emma is your guide).

On the Margaret River

This is a unique experience which delves into bush tucker and the surrounding environment. Our guide, Adam, was a very impressive young person with a wealth of knowledge and very pleasant demeanour. Totally recommend this tour.

Terrific Experience

Christian_M, Feb 2025
This was a wonderful trip, surely very underrated. The Margaret River was lovely and the water pristine. We saw almost no development. The highlight was swimming in the river. The shore lunch was a surprise delight. Our guide Adam was perfect. Very friendly but helped us with no complaints if our canoes had an issue. He was also very knowledgeable about the history, flora and fauna of the river. Canoeing experience is not needed but you do need to get in and out of the canoe.

Bushtucker + Adventure

Amanda_N, Sep 2024
We had a sensational time at Bushtucker Tours. The organisation was fantastic, from email correspondence to rescheduling our tour date, very organised, helpful and clear instructions to ensure a great time. The day itself was cold and windy, but despite the weather, Gregg was a fabulous tour guide who spoke a lot about the history of the place and Aboriginal culture and the stories behind them. Well informed and very scenic, the experience felt like it went above and beyond and we feel very lucky to have had him in our canoe. The tour was amazing and really added to my best friend's birthday holiday celebrations. Thank you so much! Highly recommend!!

Disappointing communication

Drew_W, Sep 2024
Terrible communication. Got told I would find out the day before if the event was on or not.. were I had no communication the day behind me & partner planned to leave at 5am to get there for 9am.. for us to find out at 8am that the event was cancelled because no one had booked on!? Our whole weekend was booked around this event & that if this event was unavailable we would have left much later.. this in fact ruined 2 of our free days together. Poor communication, do better SOONER!

Response from Host, Sep 2024

We sincerely thank you for dedicating your time to share your feedback with us. Your practical comments are invaluable as they guide us on where we can enhance our services. It was unfortunate that the number you provided on your booking was not accurate and we tried numerous ways to contact you but there was no response. We do our best to communicate with our guests however it is not always possible when we do not have the correct information.

Amazing experience! Best tour guide ever!!

aaron_k, Mar 2024
Our tour guide Marty had the perfect mix of humour and intellect, talking us through the history along the Margaret River and about all the trees and plants along the way. Everything from the experience of canoeing a boat, having a swim in the sun and trying new bush tucker cuisine. We had a great time would recommend and come again!!

It was cold and windy. We had to hide from the rain. The trip should have been cancelled and refunded. Jason the guide did his best. On a good day, this trip could have been epic.

Paddling on the magnificent Margaret River

Great insight into aboriginal culture, in particular native plants, with a “fun” picnic lunch. Participants have to be aware though: it is sporty, and don’t forget to bring your sunscreen and water bottles along.

Hello Jean Phillip, Thanks for the great review, yes always bring water and sunscreen a given in Australia, however, we do need to remind our visitors, so pleased you enjoyed the day. Warm regards The Bushtucker Crew
