Detailed Itinerary

Day 1: Arrive in Perth, Western Australia's Sunshine Capital

Upon arrival, I'll be met by my driver and taken to my hotel

in Perth—the capital of Western Australia and famous for
being the sunniest capital city in the world. Closer
to Singapore than Sydney, Perth's remote location gives it an
outward-looking feel with a thriving arts culture and festival
scene. Blending an effortless mix of laid-back sophistication
with plenty of parks, gardens, and watersports, it's also a
perfect destination for families.

After settling in, head out for refreshments in a city that loves
to eat! Bring my appetite to one of the many bustling bars,
charming cafés, and award-winning restaurants before making
my way to the historic Swan Bells. Hanging in a 270-foot-high
(82 m) copper and glass campanile, the set of 18 bells dates
back to 14th-century London and holds a fascinating royal
history. Spend the rest of the day bathing in the beautiful
waters at Perth's family-friendly Cottesloe Beach. Relax on
the grassy terraces before enjoying a sundowner overlooking
the Indian Ocean.
 Day 2: Fremantle Explorer Tour & Swan River Cruise

This morning it's time to explore the rest of Perth's gems

with a half-day driving tour that takes in the best of the
city's sights. Wave at the Western Australia Cricket
Ground (WACA) and new state-of-the-art Optus
Stadium before passing the Perth Mint and Elizabeth
Quay—a beautiful waterfront development with gorgeous
river and city views. Stop at Kings Park Botanical
Gardens and take in the stunning panorama from the
war memorial back over the city skyline before continuing
past the affluent western suburbs, known as Millionaire's
Row.

Travel past the glittering Indian Ocean and arrive at

heritage-listed Fremantle, where I'll have plenty of time
to stroll the atmospheric streets, hip shops, cafés, and
quaint period buildings. Meander through the renowned
125-year-old markets that hark back to the Victorian era.
Browse the plethora of fresh produce, unique food
offerings, and vibrant independent stalls. I,ll join riverboat
and cruise upstream as I discover the exclusive suburbs
of East Fremantle before disembarking at Perth Jetty.
The rest of the day is mine to spend as I wish.
 Day 3: Indoor Skydiving Lesson & Free Afternoon

After a leisurely breakfast, it's time to explore Perth I have join.

Tour the Perth Mint to see the world's largest gold coin, watch
gold melt in a historic melting house, and find my weight in
gold.
If I have feeling adventurous, head to iFLY Perth Indoor
Skydiving and get my adrenaline fix for the day! Today's
excursion is an exhilarating and rewarding adventure, without
needing to jump out of a moving plane. Experience the flight
equivalent of a 12,000-foot (3,657 m) outdoor skydive as I step
inside one of the world's largest glass flight chambers. Kids,
big and little, will love being lifted effortlessly onto a cushion of
air and into flight, thanks to the massive wind generators.

Day 4: Rottnest Island Day Trip

Today's excursion is a visit to one of Western Australia's best-

kept secrets— Rottnest Island. Situated 11 miles (18 km) west
of Fremantle and covering 7 square miles (19 sq km), the
island's 63 beaches, 20 beautiful secluded bays, and many
coral reefs and wrecks create some of the most spectacular
swimming and diving spots in the world.

Travel in exhilarating style on the high-powered Eco Express.

Kids will adore the 90-minute adventure boat tour of the
island's rugged coastline and wild side as I experience the
ocean breeze and sea spray on this fast-paced, heart-thumping
trip. Spot New Zealand fur seals at Cathedral Rocks and look
out for dolphins and osprey along the way.
 Day 5: Visit Adventure World Theme & Water Park

Today's excursion will earn me plenty of brownie points!

Combine the best of a theme park and a water park in the
beautifully landscaped botanical gardens at Perth's Adventure
World. Make my way to the Abyss, where bigger kids and thrill
seekers can experience the park's adrenaline-pumping
rollercoaster. Younger adventurers will love the enchanting
Dragon's Kingdom and ever-popular Hawaiian-themed Kahuna
Falls. Don't miss Kraken, the longest, tallest, and steepest
funnel water slide on the planet.
Afterward, catch a cab to Fremantle, just 15 minutes away, and
grab fish and chips at Kaili's Fish Market Café or eat and
enjoy the view at the Bathers Beach House. Getting back to
Perth couldn't be easier—catch a train, and I will be there in 25
minutes to enjoy the rest of my evening.
Day 6: Free Day to Explore

Today I will explore Perth at my own pace. Learn how to "hang ten" at
one of the city's surf schools, where I'll get safely up onto my first wave
before I have time to worry about falling off! Alternatively, head to the
trendy area of Scarborough to relax on the beach or go for a stroll
around Hillary's Boat Harbour.

In the afternoon, discover Kings Park Botanical Gardens—an

outdoor treasure trove for families with sweeping views of
the Swan and Canning Rivers, the city skyline, and the Darling
Ranges to the east. One of the world's largest inner city parks, it's
home to the beautifully cultivated Western Australian Botanic
Gardens and displays over 3,000 species of the State's unique flora.
Explore the numerous play areas, climb all 101 steps of the
spiraling DNA Tower or do as the locals do and enjoy a picnic within
the stunning setting of the park's 988 acres (400 ha).
 Day 7: Full-Day Caversham Wildlife Park, Pinnacles Desert & Sand
Boarding

It's an early start for today's excursion as I'll visit the kangaroos,
wombats, and koalas of Caversham Wildlife Park, then travel north
along quiet back roads in 4WD comfort to the fishing town of
Cervantes. Famous for its rock lobster factory and pristine beachfront,
I'll go behind the scenes at the town's giant shellfish processing plant,
then dine on luxury lobster and chips before continuing my journey
to Nambung National Park.

Stroll among the thousands of weathered limestone pillars that create

the surreal moonscape of the world-renowned Pinnacles Desert, then
hop back in the 4WD and traverse the vast Lancelin Sand Dunes. The
whole family will love the unforgettable experience of sandboarding
down these constantly shifting structures. Return to Perth along the
scenic Indian Ocean Drive, and grab a bite to eat before recounting the
day's highlights.
Day 8: Free Day to Explore

After yesterday's adventure, today is mine to spend as I

wish. Relax by one of Perth's many beaches or catch up on
some sightseeing. Visit the Gravity Discovery Centre and
Observatory, where curious young minds will love exploring
the Innovation galleries dedicated to Einstein and his
science. Head to the Cosmos gallery and learn about the
universe's timeline before making my way to the Leaning
Tower of Gingin,
 Day 9-10: Visit the Aquarium of Western Australia, Beach
Afternoon

This morning I'll pay a visit to the family-

friendly AQWA—the Aquarium of Western Australia.
Here I'll discover incredible marine life, much of which is
found nowhere else on earth. Encounter deadly stingers
and biters in the DANGERzone before coming face to face
with giant sharks, stingrays, and turtles in Australia's
largest underwater tunnel.
Enjoy a relaxing afternoon at the beach or do some last-
minute shopping, then spend your last night dining at one
of the city's terrific restaurants as the sun sets on my
Australian adventure.

Day 11: Depart Perth

My epic trip to Australia draws to a close today as I'll

transfer to the airport to catch my flight home.
