WHERE TO GO IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA

Each distinct region in Western Australia boasts its own attractions and it’s no exaggeration to say each merits a holiday in its own right. It would be just as easy to spend all your time exploring the south west coast’s vineyards as it would to use it discovering the marine life of the Coral Coast, or the Kimberley for remote adventures.

Explore the tiles below the Western Australia map for more details on each holiday destination. Alternatively, if you are looking for some inspiration, give us a call and speak to one of our expert travel consultants.
Perth
With a direct flight from the UK, picturesque Perth is the gateway to Western Australia’s hidden gems.

Here pristine islands, spectacular rock formations in Kalbarri National Park and arid outback landscapes create a kaleidoscope of colour like nowhere else on earth.
Broome & The Kimberley
The Kimberley is home to unique natural phenomena, including breathtaking Horizontal Falls, ancient Aboriginal rock art and even dinosaur footprints. This region is bookendedby Broome’s sweeping golden beaches on the west and the waterways of Kunurra in the east.
Rottnest Island

Western Australia Top Tips From Our Travel Experts

Sandy

Perth is known for its laidback lifestyle, beautiful beaches and stunning scenery. You will always find great food, cool cafés and cosmopolitan nightlife. Look out for the outdoor cinemas and trips on the river too. Make sure you spend some time here to appreciate the city before heading off to see the rest of the state.

A road trip up the Coral Coast is a truly spectacular experience! Exploring by motorhome gives you freedom and flexibility, as well as the opportunity to sleep out under the stars. If you are travelling during whale shark season I would highly recommend booking to swim alongside them, this was one of my most memorable travel experiences.

Lanie -  expert

Along Western Australia’s southwest coast you're surrounded by greenery of eucalyptus trees and vineyards. It’s a wine lover's dream with loads of cellar doors open daily, be sure to stop at the renowned chocolate factory near Margaret River for daily tastings and a lovely café.
