Perth

Blending urban cool with raw natural beauty, Perth is effortlessly Australian. With its immersive experiences and proximity to a range of daytrip destinations, Australia’s sunniest capital city is a place where relaxation and adventure go hand in hand.  

Uncover Perth’s artistic side in its vibrant street art, cultural precinct and entertainment hubs, and embark on a fascinating Aboriginal walking tour through Kings Park / Kaarta Koomba, a diverse oasis that’s one of the biggest inner-city parks in the world. The area’s coastal and waterfront restaurants are the perfect spot for gourmet indulgence, while the wineries and artisan food producers of Swan Valley are just a short drive away.  

Then explore countless sandy stretches as you make your way from the laid-back city of Fremantle / Walyalup, famous for spearheading the Australian craft beer scene, to the pristine islands and reefs off the coast of Rockingham and Mandurah / Mandjoogoordap, where wild dolphins sometimes gather close to the shoreline. Encounter smiling quokkas and other wildlife on the island sanctuary of Rottnest Island / Wadjemup.
