DESCRIPTION: "Cruise 'n Trail" combines a trio of transport - leisurely scenic river cruise, air conditioned coach and exciting horse-drawn wagon trail - as well as tastes, sights and experiences synonymous with the Swan Valley.
You will enjoy sampling premium wines, seasonal fresh and dried fruits, local honey, nougat, home-made produce like jams, pickles, relishes, butters and much more.
The Swan Valley's reputation as "Perth's Valley of Taste" will be highlighted in the delicious a-la-carte lunch complimented with tea and percolated coffee.
The highlight of this tour is the scenic off-road trailing deep into the heart of the vineyards, lakeside through the nature wetland bird sanctuary, scented pine forest and lush olive groves.
You will receive our complimentary souvenir bonus so you will be able to share your experiences and happy memories of your unique horse-drawn wagon trail with family and friends.
