Your Perth Shore Excursion Experience

Fremantle Cruise Terminal & Cottesloe Beach

Meet your expert local guide at the Fremantle Cruise Terminal and set off on a scenic sightseeing adventure along Perth’s spectacular coastline. Stop at the world-famous Cottesloe Beach to admire its pristine white sands, turquoise waters, and endless Indian Ocean views. Continue along the exclusive coastal route past Millionaires Row to view some of Perth’s most prestigious waterfront homes.

Perth City & The Perth Mint

Travel into the vibrant heart of Perth, where historic colonial buildings stand in beautiful contrast to modern skyscrapers. After an insightful city introduction, visit the historic The Perth Mint to delve into Western Australia’s rich gold-rush heritage. Join the official Perth Mint Gold Tour to witness a traditional live gold pour in the original 1899 melting house, and marvel at the world’s largest gold coin (weighing over one tonne) alongside the monumental 521.2 kg gold bar.

The Bell Tower Interactive Experience

Next, head to The Bell Tower at Elizabeth Quay, home to the historic Swan Bells. Participate in an interactive Bell Chiming Experience where you can chime the ancient bells yourself and walk away with a personalised Bell Chiming Certificate. Explore the fascinating exhibitions and enjoy 360-degree views of the Swan River from the open-air observation deck.
