WHERE TO GO IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA

Each distinct region in Western Australia boasts its own attractions and it’s no exaggeration to say each merits a holiday in its own right. It would be just as easy to spend all your time exploring the south west coast’s vineyards as it would to use it discovering the marine life of the Coral Coast, or the Kimberley for remote adventures.

Click on the tiles below the Western Australia map for more details on each holiday destination. Alternatively, if you are looking for some inspiration, give us a call and speak to one of our expert travel consultants.
Perth
With more hours of sun than any other Australian city and direct flights from the UK, picturesque Perth is the perfect place to start your holiday.

WHAT TO DO IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA

As well as some awe-inspiring sights, Western Australia is also home to unforgettable experiences. These provide a unique way to experience the area’s natural splendour that sightseeing alone simply can’t replace.

One day you might be sandboarding in the Pinnacles Desert, the next swimming with manta rays and whale sharks. Experiences can be as refined sipping wine in the Margaret River or as exhilarating as charging through Horizontal Falls in a jet boat.
