Top Things to do in Western Australia (WA)

Taking up some 30% of Australia’s landmass, it’s no surprise Western Australia lays claim to a suite of remarkable places to explore.

A journey south of Perth will see you in Margaret River knocking on cellar doors and diving into a burgeoning farm-to-table culinary scene. In the state’s north, Broome, Kimberley and Ningaloo Reef are just some of the places that spoil visitors who’ve made the effort to get there. From riding camels by the beach at sunset to swimming with giant whale sharks over an untouched reef, the experiences found here are as rare and breathtaking as the dinosaur footprints of Gantheaume Point.

Perth, WA

Forget skipping through Perth en route to Rottnest Island, Margaret River or Fremantle. This manicured little city offers plenty of things to see and do and deserves to be on your destinations-to-visit list. Catch a replica Dutch Duyfken Ship to the Aquarium of Western Australia, board a luxury yacht in Rockingham for a swim with wild dolphins and experience the thrill of a free-fall at Perth’s iFly indoor sky-dive experience. Those still feeling the call of a day trip can sample smashed grapes at the wineries of Swan Valley or try sandboarding in Nambung National Park, home of the otherworldly ancient seashell deposits known as ‘the Pinnacles’. Your trip to the wild west isn’t complete without Perth.

Rottnest Island, WA

If iridescent blue bays are your holiday calling, Rottnest Island will be worth the journey no matter what part of the world you’ve travelled from. Despite being just 19-kilometres squared in size, this protected nature reserve has acquired quite a reputation—and not just for the beauty of the landscapes and the sea. It’s the quirky native marsupial called the quokka that makes this island so unmissable. Whether you take a guided day tour from Perth or just catch the fast ferry, the journey over is all part of the fun. Once your quokka selfie is snapped you can take a snorkel, ride a bike or enjoy a seafood tour. From Little Salmon Bay to The Basin, every inch of this island deserves exploring.

Broome, WA

From Cable Beach to the Courthouse, stretching inwards to the rugged parts of the Kimberley, Broome and its surroundings, once you’ve ventured around this part of Western Australia, your perception of Australia will have shifted entirely. Lowly populated and steeped in ancient history, this little town sits at the meeting point of breathtaking blues of the Indian Ocean and dusty red desert. Amidst it all, travellers can find themselves ogling at the footprints of dinosaurs, admiring pearls shucked straight from an oyster or riding a camel at sunset on the famous Cable Beach. Further inland it will be the search for fresh water crocs and the still waters of gorges that compel you to name Broome the most exotic destination Australia has to offer.

Margaret River, WA

Not one to wet your whistle with a splash of vino? Don’t let that stop you from visiting WA’s iconic wine region of Margaret River. With 130-kilometres of coastline and countless surf breaks, this region is an important part of Australia’s surf scene, famed for one of Australia’s biggest waves, the Cowaramup Bombora. Those keen to get offshore without paddling can sign up for a scenic cruise with a backdrop of rare Minke and Southern Right Whales. Back onshore you can step back to the 1800s with a tour inside the Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse or explore 35,000 years of history in the fossil laden caves of Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park. Luscious landscapes stretch beyond the grapevines in Margaret River.
