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.

Tasmania is under the radar for many travelers, but it’s great for hikes, natural landscapes and now modern art!
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!

ExcellentBased on 5,217 ReviewsOur 2-week trip to Normandy, Switzerland and Italy after we disembarked from the Queen Mary 2 in Southampton in mid-May was superb. Michael Keon did an amazing job of putting together highlights for us to see and visit with the short time we had. All the train reservations, private and small group tours and transportations were very well coordinated, on time, and usually exceeded our expectations. Drivers were courteous and knowledgeable. Mike did a wonderful job getting everything coordinated, in spite of our almost “last minute” booking. I booked a month-long trip through GOWAY back in 1989 for Australia, New Zealand and Fiji, and they were superb then. So I tried them again, and found the entire organization to be even better. Mike was quick to respond to any questions that came up regarding booksings and times, regardless of the 6-hour time difference. Just superb! Although we had a nasty experience in Milan, GOWAY was very responsive and saw to our requests and our needs. Again, Michael Keon is the person who coordinated our travel. I will ask for Mike when I travel again with GOWAY. I recommend GOWAY highly. PJ WheelerA BIG THANK YOU to Goway Travel, Brooke Theron and all of the partners onsite. Our trip to Africa was incredible, memories that will last forever.
Everything planned and more went perfectly. The guides, the excursions, the accommodations, everything, was just spectacular. Fortunately, everything ran on time, no delays, no problems.
Thank you again!!
Linda IriasI have been blessed to have an amazing rep, Farooq Qaisar!

He my go-to and I am thankful for all his help over the years!SherriGoway helped plan our two week trip to Peru and they (Virginia in particular) did a great job. The on-site logistics with Condor Travel went very smoothly, and the trip exceeded our expectations overall. They proactively suggested changes to our initial itinerary which were welcomed. I would recommend them and would work with them again in the future.Kate O'NeillWe entrusted Goway with every detail of our trip from start to finish and they came through for us superbly! Every single detail was smooth sailing. It was a joy to plan our travels with Goway!! We had an amazing trip of a lifetime!
E&DI recently went on an African Safari with my brother-in-law and sister and another couple who I knew. The entire experience was absolutely unbelievable. The complete details were flawlessly coordinated from the transfers to the breathtaking lodges. Our guides Peter showed us Kenya and Maulid Tanzania were very knowledgeable and very sharp eyes for finding the animals.
We were able to see the animals up close, learn a lot about the people, birds , vegetation etc.
We had several sundowners in the bush really added to a magical experience with beautiful sunsets.
I would highly recommend Goway to all my friends, they will not be disappointed.
Thank you to Bijal for the excellent African Safari that you put together for us. You were wonderful.Nancy HayWe enjoyed our trip very much. I was very pleased by the hotel, tours, and itinerary selections that Alice Teramoto made for us. It was all well organized and easy to follow.
