- Koombana Bay - Koombana Bay has surprised many with its history of shipwrecks, once earning the nickname Shipwreck Bay! However, the meaning of ‘Koombanah’ is far more pleasant. This bay is known for its sparkling beauty under the morning sun and is a prime spot for dolphin sightings during the run.

solo sundowner! - I loved my solo Sundowner run with Dan! I'm in my 60s and no great runner but Dan was thoughtful and considerate and let me set the pace. We toured the 3 waters of Bunbury with frequent stops for Dan to point out SO many interesting features - lots of archaelogy, history, bird life, beautiful views and more....highly recommend whatever your fitness level.

Run tour of Bunbury that even locals learn from. - You think you know a lot about Bunbury until you join Dan on his run tour! He’s done tonnes of homework to ensure that even long term locals learn a thing or two along the way.
I was initially concerned that 5kms might be too much for me but we stopped so often and ran at a relaxed pace making the whole thing a breeze.
What a healthy and fun way to see beautiful Bunbury.
Highly recommend

A great experience for anyone who loves fresh air and local knowledge - I’ve lived in Bunbury since 2009 and have to say, the things I learned on Dan’s Spoken Streets tour gave me a newfound appreciation for the town. It was also a great experience to share with my dad (who’s in his 75th year) whilst he’s visiting from the UK. Highly recommend this for anyone who likes to take in sights, get some good air in their lungs, and jog a bit. ❤️

Interactive and fun tour of town! - I had such a great experience attending a sundowner tour with Dan and it was a fun and interactive way to get to know Bunbury, if you're a visitor or even a local! Dan is very knowledgeable about Bunbury's history and I'd highly recommend going on one of his tours! The run is very reasonable and broken up into short bursts so no matter your fitness level it is very achievable and fun!

A fun morning in Bunbury - We went on this running tour through Bunbury with 3 friends and had a great time. The running is adjusted to the group's ability so everyone can easily keep up. We are locals, but we learnt lots of interesting facts about Bunbury - from the dolphins to shipwrecks and the lighthouse. Dan is a great tour guide - happy, positive and knowledgeable. We ended up having a (free) coffee at a local cafe. All in all a perfect morning. I would certainly recommend this tour. 😀
