Tackle one of the epic MTB trails close to town. The Pines trail is one of the best in the south west with lots of technical aspects, while the Wadandi Track is flat and easy.
Take a drive through Boranup Karri Forest. Karri is the third tallest tree in the world and the tall pale barked trees, reaching 60 metres or more, dominate the hilly slopes and valleys. The Boranup Forest seen today is a regrowth forest and is just over 100 years old.
Head underground into one of the six show caves. You can join a guided tour, or explore on your own. Mammoth Cave is also universally accessible.
