Overview

Take a trip to Perth on your Australia Vacation

Perth, capital of Western Australia, is Australia’s fourth largest city and is situated on the Swan River with its suburbs being located on the Indian Ocean. Although seemingly cut off from the rest of Australia, it has an easy-going, friendly and relaxed atmosphere and for those travellers with some extra time one of our Perth tours is a great addition on an Australia vacation.

It is the sunniest state capital and enjoys glorious sunny weather most of the year. This might explain the reason for the reputation of its beaches, 19 in total, all beautifully clean and uncrowded. Perth has been likened to a picture postcard.

A visit to Kings Park with its botanical garden will impress as it is larger than Central Park in New York. It is made up of not only sculpted gardens but also natural bushland.

You can take a cruise along the Swan River and view the surrounding parks and skyscrapers then discover Swan Valley and the Perth Zoo on Perth tours.

Nearby Rottnest Island is an excellent scuba diving centre and Rockingham is known for snorkeling and dolphins. Historic Fremantle is Perth’s oldest port where you can sample fresh seafood.

Nearby are Monkey Mia Resort in Shark Bay with its world famous bottlenose dolphins, Margaret River, a regional wine area and the Pinnacles Desert with its sand dunes and white sand beaches.

Perth, Australia’s sunniest capital, is known for its beautiful beaches, vibrant arts scene, and stunning parks along the Swan River.

Be sure to include one of our Perth tours in your Australia vacation package, as the sunny capital of Western Australia, with its beautiful beaches, vibrant arts scene, and stunning parks along the Swan River, is bound to leave an impression.

Sydney and Melbourne are a great combination for first-time visitors to Australia, with Brisbane, Adelaide and/or the Outback added in, depending on how much time you have. Returnees should take in Perth, Darwin and the Kakadu National Park area and/or Tasmania if they can, plus spend some time in the cities they loved the first time around

It might sound cliche, but you really can visit year-round. Australia is a big country, so there is always somewhere with amazing weather!
