Best Tours & activities in Perth (2026)

Perth's tour operators make it easy to see the city from the river, on foot and on the water to Rottnest Island. Captain Cook Cruises has sailed the Swan River for more than 40 years, linking the city with Fremantle and with Mandoon Estate in the Swan Valley on its wine cruise, while Rottnest Express runs ferries from Fremantle and the city with packages that add bike hire, a bus tour or a boat trip around the island.

On land, Two Feet and A Heartbeat, Perth's first walking tour company, runs daily walks of Fremantle's convict history and street art and of Perth's laneways, timed so both can be done on the same day. For Aboriginal perspectives, Go Cultural Aboriginal Tours and Experiences, owned by Walter and Meg McGuire, leads walks at Elizabeth Quay that begin with a smoking ceremony. Segway Tours WA offers short guided rides from Barrack Street Jetty along the river and up to Kings Park. Book river cruises, ferries and walking tours ahead in summer and school holidays, and check whether a tour runs only on set dates.
