TRAVEL AND TRADE
Travel trade and inbound operators
I work with travel agents and inbound tour operators who need a reliable private touring partner in the Margaret River wine region.
The Journey Margaret River offers fully customised private wine tours, sightseeing tours, multi day touring, transfers and private driver services for a maximum of seven guests.
Every booking is handled by me directly, from the initial enquiry through to the planning and guiding of the day. That gives agents a consistent, accredited and personal supplier for clients who need a private experience in the region.
What I offer agents and their clients
I create private touring experiences across the Margaret River wine region for clients who want a flexible, well managed day with local knowledge behind it. Tours can be built around wine, food, coast, forest, caves, sightseeing or a combination of several interests.
For wine focused clients, I can arrange days around established and boutique estates, premium cellar door experiences, seated tastings, private style appointments where available and fine dining lunches. I do not publish venue lists on this page because every itinerary is shaped around the client, the season, availability and the style of experience required.
For clients who want to explore beyond the cellar door, I also offer private sightseeing days through the forests, coast, caves, lighthouses and quiet corners of the region. These days suit families, non drinking guests, cruise passengers, short stay visitors and clients who want a broader sense of place.
Multi day tours can be arranged for guests staying in Margaret River, Dunsborough, Yallingup, Busselton, Augusta or the wider region. I can also assist with private transfers, dinner transfers, airport transfers and private driver services where they fit the client brief.
The product is small, private and flexible. There is no mixed group touring. The vehicle carries a maximum of seven guests, which keeps the experience personal and easy to manage.
Why I am a reliable supplier
The Journey Margaret River is an owner operated business, so the person planning the tour is also the person looking after the client on the day. This gives agents consistency, clear communication and direct accountability.
I trained as a chef, worked alongside a sommelier in Courchevel and later managed the cellar door at Redgate Wines in Margaret River. I have lived in the region for years, and I use that local knowledge to plan days that feel considered rather than generic.
The business holds Quality Tourism, Sustainable Tourism and EcoStar accreditation through Tourism Council WA. It is authorised by the WA Department of Transport as an On Demand Booking Service and Driver, is fully insured and is listed on ATDW.
The Journey Margaret River is also supported by a strong review reputation, which helps give agents confidence that clients are being placed with a professional local operator.

How to work with me
Commissionable rates are available on enquiry for travel agents and inbound tour operators. I do not publish prices, net rates or commission percentages online, so commercial terms remain private and agent margin is protected.
The Journey Margaret River is connected for trade booking through Rezdy and Bookeasy, and the business is listed on ATDW for distribution. I also handle enquiries personally, so agents can discuss client requirements, preferred touring style, accessibility needs, timing, accommodation location and any special interests before confirming a booking.
I can assist with private touring for FIT clients, small groups, premium leisure travellers, cruise passengers, self drive itineraries, regional stays and clients requiring a trusted local driver while in the Margaret River wine region.
