The Swan River is one of Perth’s most iconic landmarks.
It snakes through the city and provides a stunning view from any angle you look at it!
You can take an amazing cruise down this river to see some incredible sights, including Kings Park – which has been voted as Australia’s best park for over 20 years running by TripAdviser.

Explore the sites and sounds of Perth with a bus tour! You’ll get to see the city’s most iconic landmarks, and learn about its history.
There are several bus tours to choose from including the City Tour, the Scenic Rides and even a Nighttime Ghost Bus!
The City tour takes you to all of Perth’s most iconic landmarks including Kings Park.
The scenic rides take in some spectacular views from around town – like Hillarys Boat Harbour or Swan Valley Wineries.
Visit Rottnest Island
This island is a short ferry ride from Perth. There are plenty of things to do here including cycling, snorkelling and fishing.
The island is also home of the Quokka – a small marsupial with an adorable face!
The quoka are very friendly so you can get close enough for some great photos too… just be careful not scare them off by getting in their space or touching them!
There are plenty of secluded beaches for swimming and exploring on the deserted island.
Take a Walk In Kings Park
Located just below the city centre, this park offers spectacular views over Perth and its surrounds.
It is a great place to go for walks, picnics and even just sitting around on the grass watching people or playing games with friends!
Kings Park also has some beautiful gardens such as Scitech Discovery Garden which are worth checking out too… especially if you have kids in tow who need entertaining during your stay here 🙂
Drink wine in the Margaret River
Western Australia’s Maraget River is famous for its wine production.
It is a great place to visit if you are looking at doing some winetasting or just want an excuse to drink more than one glass of the good stuff! 😉
If that’s not your thing, then there plenty other things on offer here too such as golfing and fishing… so it really does have something for everyone.
Some of the most iconic wines from the region include Black Opal, Cape Mentelle and Souverain.
If you’re not sure where to start with your tasting then I would recommend heading over the Black Swan Winery which is a favourite in Perth!
They have some amazing wines on offer as well a beautiful gardens for picnics or relaxing after all that wine sampling 😉
Go Whale Watching
Did you know you can go whale watching in Perth?
It’s a great way to see some of the amazing wildlife that we have here and you can do it all year round.
If your lucky, there may even be an opportunity for whale-watching from land!
But if not then don’t worry because most tours offer boat trips where they’ll take care everything for you.
Discover the Perth Mint
No trip to Perth would be complete without a visit to the Perth Mint.
The Perth Mint is famous for producing gold and silver coins, but it also has a museum where you can see how they make these amazing pieces.
The tour is free so don’t forget to ask for your complimentary souvenir coin at reception!
You’ll be glad that did when all those other tourists are asking if there’s any chance of getting one too 😉
