A Proud Family Heritage: Over Five Decades of South West Mobility

To truly understand the foundation of Gannaways Charters & Tours, one must look back at a rich history spanning more than half a century. Established in 1970, the Gannaway family set out with a simple vision: to provide dependable, friendly, and community-focused passenger transport across Western Australia’s picturesque Southwest.

What began as a modest local transport venture steadily expanded in step with the region’s booming tourism and agricultural growth. Through decades of dedication, changing transport landscapes, and continuous fleet modernization, the family-run ethos never wavered. Today, Gannaways stands as an institution in regional transport. Generations of local families, school groups, corporate travelers, and international visitors have trusted Gannaways to safely navigate Western Australia's unique terrain, making us an integral part of the South West community fabric.

What Makes Gannaways Charters & Tours Special?

In an industry where logistics can easily become stressful, Gannaways stands apart by taking the hard work out of group travel. What sets our service apart includes:

  • Unmatched Local Expertise: Our drivers and booking coordinators are born and bred in the region. We know every hidden bend of the Bussell Highway, the finest boutique vineyards in Wilyabrup, and the most efficient routes across regional WA.

  • A Versatile, Modern Fleet: From intimate luxury people-movers and smaller passenger vehicles to large, fully appointed 57-seat luxury coaches, our immaculately maintained fleet caters seamlessly to groups of any size.

  • An Absolute Commitment to Safety: Passenger safety is our highest priority. All Gannaways drivers are fully qualified, hold current First Aid certifications, undergo rigorous professional training, and adhere strictly to Western Australia’s safety compliance codes.

We design custom 5-hour or 6-hour private day charters for families, corporate teams, and social clubs, taking you through premier wineries, breweries, olive groves, and coastal lookouts.

  • Wedding Guest Transfers: A dream South West wedding shouldn't be marred by complex guest transport logistics. From luxury vehicles for the bridal party to spacious coaches transferring guests smoothly between ceremony venues, picturesque photo locations, and late-night receptions, we ensure everyone arrives relaxed and on time.

Embracing the South West Lifestyle Safely

Navigating regional Western Australia involves long distances and unique environmental conditions.
