Best of Perth, Margaret River & Rottnest Island
Overview
Highlights
- Explore the beachy Margaret River region with wine and gin tastings – maybe even taste some nougat on your visit to a local winery that produces the chewy treat.
- Swim in the sunshine at Meelup Beach and then visit Sugarloaf Rock – the distinctive granite rock peak jutting from the ocean within scenic Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park.
- Take a fascinating tour of the limestone Ngilgi Cave, which includes a bushwalk, a didgeridoo performance and some local history from the Wadandi First Nations people.
- Take a day trip to Rottnest Island – a little slice of paradise off the coast, home to The World’s Friendliest Animals, the quokkas! Maybe go snorkelling, swim, or kick back on the white sands in your free time.
- By travelling on this trip, you’ll directly support our Intrepid Foundation partner, Greening Australia. Donations help them tackle Australia’s complex environmental challenges, restoring landscapes at scale – in ways that work for communities, economies and nature.
- End your trip in Perth (Boorloo in the language of the Whadjuk Noongar people) – the capital of Western Australia and home to sandy beaches, rivers and a buzzing city.
