Explore Western Australia’s capital on a city sights tour with your Travel Director, taking in Perth’s urban character before walking through Kings Park and Botanic Garden. Its elevated setting offers broad views across the Swan River and city skyline.

Wander among displays drawn from the state’s diverse native flora; the botanic garden features more than 3,000 plant species. This green space offers a close look at the landscapes and plants that distinguish Western Australia.

Visit Busselton Jetty, a timber landmark extending approximately 1.8 kilometres into the sheltered waters of Geographe Bay. Take in the length of the structure and its coastal setting, where pale sand meets the blue-green water.

Built to serve the region’s maritime trade, the jetty stands as a reminder of how timber and agricultural goods once reached ships offshore. Its extraordinary scale makes it one of the South West’s most recognisable sights.

Taste wines at Xanadu’s cellar door in the Margaret River region, guided through a selection from an estate with nearly 50 years of winemaking history. Discover the varieties associated with its vineyards, particularly cabernet sauvignon and chardonnay.

Margaret River’s maritime climate has helped establish its reputation for premium wine. A hosted tasting offers the chance to compare styles while hearing how this coastal corner of Western Australia shapes what reaches the glass.

Visit Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse at the windswept tip of the peninsula near Augusta. Stand in its dramatic coastal setting and take in the views where the Indian and Southern oceans meet.

The lighthouse has long marked a significant point for vessels rounding Australia’s south-western coast. Its exposed position, salt air and uninterrupted horizons give a sense of the navigational challenges faced by mariners. The tour describes a visit to the lighthouse, not a climb inside it.

Walk among the canopy on the Valley of the Giants Tree Top Walk, suspended up to 40 metres above the forest floor. Look across the crowns of towering tingle trees and down into the woodland beneath your feet.

These distinctive eucalypts are associated with the ancient forests of Western Australia’s south coast. The elevated walkway offers a rare perspective on their immense scale without requiring a strenuous hike through the forest.

Explore the scenery of Stirling Range National Park and take in the rugged peaks from Bluff Knoll Lookout. The ranges rise sharply above the surrounding plains, creating a striking change in the Western Australian landscape.

The park is renowned for its botanical diversity, with wildflowers adding colour when in season. This lookout visit offers an overview of the ranges and their distinctive plant life; it is not described as a summit walk.

Discover the granite headlands, white sand and clear water of Cape Le Grand National Park. Visit Thistle Cove to listen for the wind around Whistling Rock, and see Lucky Bay, where kangaroos are often spotted near the beach.

The park’s sheltered coves and weathered rock formations make this stretch of coast distinctive. Wildlife sightings depend on the animals, but the contrast between pale sand, rugged stone and turquoise water is a highlight in its own right.

Meet an Aboriginal guide at Hellfire Bay in Cape Le Grand National Park for a MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience. Learn about Wudjari cultural history and the natural environment of this coastal country through a local perspective.

Surrounded by granite and bright water, the setting gives context to stories of place and connection. This guided encounter adds a cultural dimension to the park’s scenery, inviting travellers to understand the area as more than a collection of beaches.

Explore Kalgoorlie’s gold-rush streets, view the vast Super Pit from a lookout and visit Hannans North Mine. Stand beside enormous haul trucks and loaders for a sense of the scale of modern mining.

Kalgoorlie’s broad streets and historic buildings reflect the boom that followed the discovery of gold in the 1890s. The mine visit connects that history with the machinery and working landscapes of today’s Goldfields.

Visit Wave Rock near Hyden and see the curved face of granite that resembles a breaking surf wave. Stretching roughly 110 metres, its bands of colour and sweeping shape make it a distinctive subject for a closer look and photographs.

The formation is part of a much older granite landscape shaped by weathering over immense spans of time. Its wave-like profile is especially striking against the dry woodland and open skies of the Wheatbelt.

Meet Sheenagh on her farm near Wave Rock and hear firsthand about life on the land in Western Australia’s Wheatbelt. A hosted visit offers the chance to see the property through the eyes of someone who calls it home.

Sheenagh shares the challenges and rewards of living in this wide-open landscape, where distance and the seasons shape daily routines. It is a personal introduction to rural life beyond the region’s best-known landmark.

Explore Albany’s ANZAC heritage on an optional tour focused on the port’s connection to Australian servicemen in the First World War. Hear how troopships gathered here before departing for overseas service.

Albany was the last Australian port seen by many of those who sailed in the first convoy in 1914. The town’s harbour gives this history a powerful setting. This experience is available at additional cost and bookable on tour.

Explore Torndirrup National Park near Albany on an optional excursion to its rugged coastline. See steep cliffs and dramatic rock formations shaped by the Southern Ocean, with opportunities to take in the exposed coastal scenery.

Swells, wind and weather give this shore its changing character. Migrating whales may be visible at certain times of year, although sightings are not guaranteed. This experience is available at additional cost and bookable on tour.

Taste your way around the Albany region on an optional culinary excursion featuring a selection of local cheeses, fudge, chocolate, ice cream, cider, wines and gins. Sample the contrasting flavours that make this part of the south coast rewarding for food lovers.

The experience brings together regional producers and a range of sweet, savoury and locally made drinks rather than a standard meal. It is available at additional cost and bookable on tour.

Discover Fremantle with a local guide on an optional tour designed to reveal corners visitors might otherwise pass by. Explore the character of this working port town, from its heritage-lined streets to its lively contemporary atmosphere.

Fremantle’s streets reflect generations of maritime activity and urban change. A guided perspective adds local stories to the historic setting and helps distinguish the port from nearby Perth. This experience is available at additional cost and bookable on tour.

Catch the ferry to Rottnest Island for an optional island tour off the coast of Fremantle. Enjoy views of its clear turquoise water and look out for quokkas, the small native marsupials for which the island is known.

Known as Wadjemup to the Whadjuk Noongar people, the island has cultural significance as well as distinctive wildlife and coastal scenery. Observe quokkas from a respectful distance. This experience is available at additional cost and bookable on tour.
