Arrive into Western Australia’s sunny capital city to spend the next 5 nights. Situated along the Swan River and famed for its blue skies, extraordinary setting and laid-back atmosphere, Perth is the perfect city to spend your days strolling around the many shops, bars and restaurants. Enjoy the magnificent views from Kings Park, relax on the white sandy beaches, or if time permits head out of the city to enjoy the surrounding regions. From the wineries and the scenic south, to the natural wonders of the North and the coral shores of Rottnest Island, Perth’s natural playground has plenty to see and do.

We’ve included a memorable day excursion to Rottnest Island, including snorkel and bike hire to allow you to fully explore the pristine island just 30 minutes from Perth.
