Watch the sun sink over the Indian Ocean, swim at Cottesloe, and finish with dessert overlooking Perth’s lit skyline. This small-group minibus tour pairs beach time with a picnic supper and guided city-view stops.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Late afternoon light grazes the Swan River as the minibus slips through Perth’s riverside suburbs, palms and jacarandas leaning toward the water as if to watch. Black swans glide in the estuary; dolphins sometimes cut a silver arc. Minutes later you’re on the sand at Cottesloe, the ocean breathing cool air over limestone shelves, then at Scarborough where the shore opens wide and the sun slides toward the Indian Ocean.
