With over fifteen years of experience in conducting wildflower tours, Great Western Coach Tours knows just the right spots which showcase the incredible beauty and vibrant colors of this region's flora.
Each tour is led by a Coach Captain and a botanical guide who will enrich your experience with fascinating facts and insights into the various flower species.

Morning tea and a picnic lunch are included in a bushland setting, adding to the delightful experience of the natural surroundings.
Farewell Perth CBD
Leaving behind the hustle and bustle of the Perth CBD, arrive at your first stop on the Swan Coastal Plain, a well-known location for magnificent displays of vivid red and green kangaroo paws, stunning cat's paws and numerous orchids. Take a walk with your botanical guide to identify, examine, touch, smell and photograph the many different native wildflower species.
Watch the busy pollinators at work and take your time to enjoy this very unique spring wildflower experience
Morning Escarpment & Foothills Walks:
For the remainder of the morning, you will visit several locations both on the Darling Escarpment and in the foothills. Destinations will vary according to the flower abundance and time of season. All walks undertaken are at a leisurely pace to ensure maximum wildflower species sightings for all group members. Note: A reasonable level of fitness is required.
Picnic Lunch:
A delicious fresh picnic lunch awaits in a sheltered bushland setting. A little babbling creek flows close by, and you may be lucky enough to hear a quacking frog, or catch a glimpse of some splendid blue wrens, or quendas who are regular visitors, venturing close to the picnic tables.
Afternoon Jarrah & Marri Forest Exploration:
This afternoon focuses on the Jarrah and Marri forests on top of the escarpment, which will provide you a wonderful contrast to the wildflower species found earlier in the day on the coastal plain. Be on the lookout for water peas, cow kicks, bunjongs and hairy jug flowers, as well as striking blue leschenaultia, rambling coral vine and native clematis.
Final Stop & Return:
Depart your last port of call for the day, one of the many orchards located in the Darling Ranges, which with cooler temperatures and higher rainfall, provide the ideal environment for fruit growing. So throughout the spring afternoon, as well as native wildflowers, you will also enjoy valley vistas of blossom laden fruit trees.
Complimentary wildflower booklet
Each passenger receives their own, personal, full-colour, wildflower booklet as a reference so, when you are reviewing all the incredible flower pictures you have taken, you will be able to check the native wildflower species’ names and details. A lasting memento of a wonderful spring day spent in WA.
