Walk among the canopy on the Valley of the Giants Tree Top Walk, suspended up to 40 metres above the forest floor. From the elevated path, look across the crowns and massive trunks of the ancient tingle trees.

These remarkable eucalypts grow in a small part of Western Australia’s southwest, making this forest unlike any other on the tour. The walkway reveals its height and layered greenery from a perspective rarely possible on a conventional woodland path.

Explore Albany’s ANZAC heritage on a tour focused on the port’s role in the First World War. Learn why Albany was the last Australian port of call for many troopships carrying servicemen overseas.

The town’s maritime setting lends immediacy to the stories of departure and separation. This experience offers a moving way to understand Albany’s place in Australia’s wartime memory. It is at additional cost and bookable on tour; specific site entries are not stated.

AAT Kings

Discover Western Australia’s capital on a guided Perth city tour, taking in its riverside setting and urban landmarks. Walk through Kings Park and Botanic Garden, where native plants frame views across the Swan River and city skyline.

The garden showcases part of Western Australia’s remarkable botanical diversity, including plants adapted to conditions found nowhere else. Its elevated paths offer a leafy perspective on a city shaped by both the river and the surrounding bushland.

Meet your Travel Director and fellow travellers over a hosted welcome dinner in Perth. It is an opportunity to get acquainted with the people sharing your journey and hear more about the landscapes and communities you will encounter across Western Australia.

Conversation over the table brings together travellers with a shared curiosity about the state, from its southwest wine country to its remote coastline and outback. This group gathering is included in your tour.

Visit Busselton Jetty and see its wooden structure extend approximately 1.8 kilometres into the clear waters of Geographe Bay. Take in the scale of this Southern Hemisphere landmark from the shore and appreciate the craftsmanship required to build so far out over the water.

The jetty recalls Busselton’s maritime past, when vessels relied on a long pier to load timber and other goods in the bay’s shallow waters. Its pale timbers remain a defining sight on the southwest coast.

Enjoy a hosted tasting at Xanadu Wines in the Margaret River region. Sample wines from the estate’s range, which may include cabernet sauvignon, chardonnay and other varieties, while learning what makes this corner of Western Australia such a respected wine-growing area.

Established in the late 1970s, Xanadu belongs to a region known for premium wines and a mild maritime climate. The cellar-door setting offers a direct connection between the wines in your glass and the vineyards around Margaret River.

Visit Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse at the windswept southwestern tip of mainland Australia. See Australia’s tallest mainland lighthouse rising above the headland and look out toward the waters where the Indian and Southern oceans meet.

Built in the nineteenth century, the lighthouse has long helped mariners navigate this exposed stretch of coast. The open horizon and salt-laden wind give a sense of the conditions faced by ships rounding the cape. Entry inside the lighthouse is not specified as part of this visit.

Explore the rugged scenery of Stirling Range National Park and take in the ranges from Bluff Knoll Lookout. The mountain ridges rise sharply above the surrounding plains, creating a striking contrast with the open country beyond.

The park is celebrated for its exceptional plant diversity, with wildflowers adding colour when they are in season. Its varied terrain supports species found only in this part of Western Australia, making the lookout as compelling for its natural setting as for its wide views.

Discover the white sand and turquoise coves of Cape Le Grand National Park. Visit Thistle Cove, listen for the sound of Whistling Rock and look for kangaroos at Lucky Bay, where they are sometimes seen resting near the beach.

At Hellfire Bay, meet an Aboriginal guide for an introduction to Wudjari cultural history and the nature of this coastal Country. The guided encounter adds a living cultural perspective to a landscape often photographed for its colour and clarity.

Explore Kalgoorlie’s gold-rush streets, view the vast Super Pit open-cut mine and visit Hannans North Mine. Stand beside enormous haul trucks and loaders to grasp the scale of modern mining in a town built around gold.

Historic buildings and broad streets recall the rush that transformed this part of the outback in the late nineteenth century. Hannans North Mine connects those early discoveries with the machinery and methods that continue to shape Kalgoorlie’s working landscape.

Visit Wave Rock near Hyden and stand beneath a granite face that curves like a breaking surf wave. Stretching roughly 110 metres, its bands of colour bring texture to a formation rising unexpectedly from the Wheatbelt.

Weathering over millions of years sculpted the rock’s distinctive shape, while mineral deposits and water have contributed to its stripes. Seeing its sweep at close range reveals why this natural landmark has become an enduring image of Western Australia’s inland country.

Meet local farmer Sheenagh and join her for a visit around her property near Wave Rock. Hear her firsthand account of working the land and the practical realities of life in Western Australia’s open inland country.

The conversation offers a personal perspective beyond the region’s geological landmarks. Sheenagh shares both the challenges and the rewards of a rural life shaped by wide horizons, changing conditions and a close connection to the place she calls home.

Join an Aboriginal guide in Yanchep National Park to learn about the cultural significance of its bushland and wetlands. Listen to stories, hear didgeridoo playing and take part in hands-on learning with traditional tools.

The experience explores how knowledge and stories are shared across generations, bringing a First Nations perspective to the surrounding landscape. Rather than seeing the park only as scenery, you gain insight into its continuing cultural meaning through the voice of a local guide.

Explore the Pinnacles in Nambung National Park, where limestone columns emerge from pale sand in an otherworldly array. Move through the desert landscape and see how the formations vary in height, shape and colour.

Created through long geological processes, the pillars make a striking contrast with the surrounding coastal country. Their irregular silhouettes give the park its lunar-like character and offer a close look at one of Western Australia’s most distinctive natural landmarks.

Visit Geraldton’s HMAS Sydney II Memorial, a place of remembrance for the 645 crew members lost when the Australian warship sank in 1941. Spend time with its sculptures and commemorative features overlooking the coast.

The memorial gives a human dimension to a pivotal event in Australia’s wartime history. Its setting invites quiet reflection on the sailors, their families and the long uncertainty surrounding the ship’s fate before its wreck was found decades later.

Discover the coastal colours of the Shark Bay World Heritage Area and visit Shell Beach, where the shore is made from countless tiny white cockle shells rather than sand. Look across the pale beach and clear, shallow water to appreciate its unusual texture and colour.

Shark Bay is recognised for its exceptional marine environment and natural features. At Shell Beach, its highly saline conditions have helped the small shellfish flourish, creating a shoreline unlike the sandy beaches found elsewhere along the coast.

Watch for wild dolphins at Monkey Mia as they swim into the shallows near shore. National Park Rangers explain the animals’ feeding habits and share what they have learned from recognising individual dolphins over time.

This is an opportunity to observe free-ranging marine wildlife in the Shark Bay region, rather than a staged performance. The dolphins choose whether to approach, so sightings cannot be guaranteed; that independence is central to the experience.

Step onto the Kalbarri Skywalk for a view over the Murchison River Gorge and its red-and-white banded sandstone. The cantilevered platform reaches beyond the gorge rim, placing you high above a landscape carved by the river over millions of years.

An Indigenous guide welcomes you to Country and shares knowledge of bushfoods, medicinal plants and local history. The encounter connects the dramatic geology with the enduring cultural knowledge of people who know this Country intimately.

See the changing pink hues of Hutt Lagoon, a coastal salt lake whose colour can range from subtle rose to vivid pink according to conditions. Take in the contrast between the lake, surrounding land and Western Australia’s broad sky.

The colour is associated with salt-tolerant microorganisms in the water, though its appearance varies with light, season and salinity. That variability makes a visit a chance to see the lake as it appears in the moment, rather than a fixed postcard view.

Share a farewell dinner in Perth with your Travel Director and fellow travellers. Gather around the table to exchange favourite moments from the southwest forests, goldfields, national parks and Shark Bay coast.

This included group meal is a social close to the tour, with time to revisit the places and conversations that stood out along the way. Its value lies in the company: an evening spent reflecting with the people who experienced Western Australia alongside you.

Explore Torndirrup National Park near Albany, where steep coastal cliffs meet the Southern Ocean and dramatic rock formations mark the shore. Take in the force of the sea against this exposed section of Western Australia’s south coast.

The park’s sculpted granite and open outlooks make it a memorable choice for travellers drawn to wild coastal scenery. Whales may be visible during migration season, though sightings are not guaranteed. This experience is at additional cost and bookable on tour.

Taste a selection of Albany-region produce on a culinary excursion featuring local cheeses, fudge, chocolate and ice-cream alongside cider, wines and gins. The varied tastings offer a flavour-led introduction to the region beyond its coast and historic port.

Meeting local food and drink through what its makers produce reveals the breadth of this southern Western Australian destination. This tasting experience is at additional cost and bookable on tour; the particular producers visited are not specified.

Explore Fremantle with a local guide and discover corners of the port city that visitors might otherwise pass by. Its narrow, heritage-lined streets provide a setting for stories of maritime trade, neighbourhood life and the character that gives “Freo” its distinct identity.

A guide’s perspective adds depth to a city known for historic architecture and an energetic contemporary atmosphere. This guided experience is at additional cost and bookable on tour; its specific route is not stated.

Take the ferry to Rottnest Island from Fremantle and explore an island known for clear turquoise water and its resident quokkas. Bring a camera for the coastal scenery and the chance to spot these small native marsupials.

Rottnest offers a different perspective on Western Australia’s coast, with beaches and bays reached across the water from the mainland. Wildlife encounters depend on the animals’ movements. This ferry-based experience is at additional cost and bookable on tour; guided touring on the island is not specified.
