Things to do in Perth

The  largest city in Western Australia and the fourth most populated in Australia, Perth is home to over two million people who get to make the most out of its natural beauty on a daily basis.

From Kings Park and the Botanic Gardens, to Yagan Square and Rottnest Island with the fluffy quokka; there’s much to see and explore on any of our Perth tours.

Despite being one of the most isolated cities on the planet, Perth is also one of the sunniest, receiving nine hours of sun per day on average, which makes the city the most sunny state capital in Australia.

With such ideal conditions, it makes perfect sense to seek the outdoors during your time in Perth, including this day tour of The Pinnacles; a set of ancient limestone formations located within Nambung National Park, just two hours north of Perth.

Travel to where the horizon touches the sky, for a star-studded, desert adventure in the midst of the incredible rock formations and experience an Indigenous-led tour, where you’ll learn about local Aboriginal culture, their spiritual connection with the land and how they use native plants for medicine.

Witness the sun sink beneath the Indian Ocean, before marveling at the glistening stars and Milky Way forming in front of your eyes.  An evening highlight is looking up and listening to the Dreamtime stories behind the stars and pointing out the different constellations making up Aboriginal astrology.

It’s an unforgettable Perth day tour perfect for ages four and up.

Another great family-friendly tour option includes the Swan River Kayak Tour. This amazing half-day kayak adventure includes a paddle up the river through spectacular wetlands and lush nature reserves on your way to the edge of the city, where you can enjoy incredible water-side panoramas of the region.

 Capture a glimpse of dolphins and birds of prey as you kayak through the tranquil waters and discover the fascinating history of this area as local guides share ancient legends and enthralling stories.
