G’day mate! If you’re a travel enthusiast dreaming about the Perth-fect holiday, then trust us when we say that you’re gonna love Western Australia! Boasting over 12,500 kilometres of coastline (20,000 including islands), Western Australia has the longest stretch of coast in Australia with 19 world-class beaches. Think majestic landscapes, the cutest kangaroos (quokkas too!), golden beaches and ocean that turns bubblegum pink! Plus, it’s the same time zone as Malaysia as well. What can get better than this? Say no more, let us introduce you to the must-visit travel destinations in Western Australia!
Perth & Beyond – Lets Go! Discover Breathtaking Travel Destinations In Western Australia
Perth: Urban Charm And Coastal Vibes
Everyone agrees that Perth / Boorloo is an ideal holiday destination, where you can enjoy coastal vibes and sandy beaches while immersing in the bustling metropolis of art galleries and creative street art. It’s the best of both worlds and there is just so much to explore!
We’d recommend visiting Elizabeth Quay, a vibrant waterfront precinct where you get to enjoy entertainment and scenic views; Fremantle, a historic port town known for its markets, colonial architecture and breweries; Cottesloe Beach that’s famous for golden sands, clear waters and breathtaking sunsets; Perth Cultural Centre, home to the Art Gallery of Western Australia and WA Museum Boola Bardip!
Looking for somewhere to take in the full Perth view? Kings Park and Botanic Garden is one of the world’s largest inner-city parks, and you even get to enjoy panoramic views of Perth’s skyline here!
Beyond Perth: Nature, Wineries And Island Escapes
After your adventure in Perth, you can always hop on a ferry ride and leave the city behind to visit Rottnest Island / Wadjemup. It’s a car-free paradise of white-sand beaches with crystal-clear waters and home to the famously happy quokkas!
If you’re someone who appreciates wine and good food, then of course you need to visit the oldest wine region in Western Australia – Swan Valley! Besides going on a wine tour, you can also visit Caversham Wildlife Park, Western Australia’s largest privately owned collection of native wildlife that is home to over 2000 animals, birds and reptiles. What makes this place truly magical is the interactive experiences they offer as you get to hand-feed kangaroos, meet cuddly koalas, take photos with your favourite Aussie animals and even milk a cow!
A sky full of stars~ This is your sign to drive out to The Pinnacles Desert, a surreal landscape of limestone formations and the ultimate stargazing spot that’s just a short road trip from Perth!
Add a sprinkle of magic and pixie dust to your holiday when you experience an enchanting hot air balloon flight that’s floating over the rolling hills in The Avon Valley! Just imagine the breathtaking views and beautiful skies, how romantic~
South West: Margaret River
In the South West, the world-renowned Margaret River Region is an embodiment of natural beauty and Wadandi song lines. Here, you’ll be greeted by stunning coastal scenery, surf beaches and fine wine!
Coral Coast: Ningaloo Reef And Hutt Lagoon Pink Lake
The Coral Coast is all about vibrant marine life and eye-popping sights! Discover colourful coral gardens and ocean life beneath the crystal-clear waters of World Heritage-listed Ningaloo Reef (Nyinggulu). You even get to dive or swim with Australia’s largest fringing reef alongside gentle whale sharks and manta rays!
Another world-famous attraction here is Hutt Lagoon (Pink Lake), a naturally pink salt lake that sometimes shines bubblegum pink, sometimes lilac and occasionally even red. The waters of Hutt Lagoon is indeed an extraordinary sight on the drive between Port Gregory and Kalbarri!
North West: Broome
The North West is filled with awe-inspiring adventures at every corner! Head on an Aboriginal walking tour through the World Heritage-listed Purnululu National Park, discover the stunning natural landscapes of The Kimberley, experience a sunset camel ride along Cable Beach in Broome (Rubibi) or even enjoy a scenic flight over the mighty Horizontal Falls!
Golden Outback: Wave Rock And Lucky Bay
Located in the Wheatbelt region, Wave Rock is a 15m-high multicoloured granite cliff formation that resembles a giant breaking ocean wave. Can you believe that it was created from wind and rainwater erosion that occurs for more than 2.7 billion years?
Last but not least, witness the beauty of Lucky Bay, which is home to the whitest beaches and if you’re lucky enough, you might even come across kangaroos lazing on the shore!
