Fremantle Urban Adventure

Half day

Diversity and culture make Freemantle, or ‘Freo’ as it's lovingly known, one of Australia’s most interesting cities. Serving Perth and acting as a major port, it attracted a huge influx of migrants, which helped contribute to its modern funky vibe. It’s a fascinating, beautiful town with legends of crime, outlaws and jail breaks but it also boasts a sad past of early Aboriginal treatment.

£29

Rottnest Bike and Snorkle

Full day

Spend a full day marvelling at the beauty of Rottnest Island. Enjoy the boat ride from Perth to arrive for a cycling tour, an intriguing guided walking tour and a breathtaking snorkelling trip to meet some of the many weird and wonderful creatures calling Rottnest their home.

SECRETS OF ESPERANCE
6 days fr £524

• Walk amongst the Valley of the Giants
• Get friendly with kangaroos on the beach
• Get the camera out at the beautiful Wave Rock

You’ll find stunning landscapes, seascapes and wildlife on this tour.

Start by heading east over the Darling Ranges to the historic town of York before reaching Wave Rock – an amazing rock formation well worth a snap.

It’s then to Fitzgerald River National Park – a remarkable biosphere reserve of beautiful beaches and rugged coastline. You then reach Esperance, a remote town of magnificent granite, beach and bush surroundings. Take in the Cape Le Grand National Park, one of nine in the area and spend the afternoon exploring this region – you’re bound to see a kangaroo on the beach so have that camera ready!

Next up, Stirling Ranges and a visit to the Valley of the Giants where towering trees dwarf, you’ll really understand the might of nature! Finish your 400km road trip heading up the west coast via the Margaret River region.

 
MONKEY MIA, KALBARI & THE PINNACLES
4 days fr £435
• Sandboard down the dunes at Pinnacle Desert
• Make friends with the famous Monkey Mia dolphins
• Get ‘hands on’ at the Greenough python breeding centre

Other than not actually seeing any monkeys – gutting we know! – this is an outstanding way to spend four days.

Head from Perth to Kalbarri stopping at the mysterious Pinnacles Desert on the way where you will be dwarfed by massive sand dunes. Then take a short drive to Nature’s Window and make the effort to descend the steep Z-Bend Gorge. Definitely try abseiling before heading to Shark Bay.

Head down to the beach and spend some time getting to know the famous Monkey Mia dolphins – this is an awesome and unique experience and lends itself to some incredible photos so make sure you have that camera ready to rock.

Complete your trip by hitting the Hutt River Province – there’s another stamp in the old passport if you want it – then check out the python breeding centre at the Greenough Wildlife Park before heading back to Perth.
