10 Walking Tours in Perth That You Shouldn't Miss
Perched on the banks of the wide Swan River, between the Indian Ocean and the sands of the Nullarbor Desert, Perth is one of the world's most isolated cities, yet still boasts an active beach scene and smokin’ nightlife. Family-friendly Cottesloe is brimming with swimmers, surfers and snorkelers. Head north to Scarborough for a spirited beachside club scene. Coo at cute marsupials on ferry-accessible Rottnest Island, and don’t miss the views from King's Park and Botanic Gardens.

We booked the day trip to The Pinnacles with Kandu, and we had a truly excellent time. We were the only ones on the tour, to our surprise, but that's how Vicki operates: really small groups. She is an excellent host, and suggested some really nice changes to our tour based on what we'd already seen. We can highly recommend booking with Vicki and when we return, the Danes will book again!

This tour in downtown Broome on the banks of the very creek where Broome's shell and pearl industry was founded is an absolutely must do! We had a 90 minute tour led by "Stewy" who was enthusiastic, witty and knowledgeable. The museum of early-day pearl diving equipment was eye-opening (so dangerous, why would anyone do it) and the video clips from 100+ years ago were amazing. This is a really great tour - do it.

This 7 day trip is amazing! It’s a modular trip, so we started with 24 people (a full bus load) and after 4 days, a few people left, then a few more left on the 5 day mark. However, I wanted to go all the way to Exmouth so I did the full 7 days and I wouldn’t have traded it for anything! The west coast of Australia is something else! Deserts, gorgeous beaches, awesome snorkelling, so much wildlife in their natural habitat and the perfect weather every single day! Our tour manager Carla made it even that much more fun with her cooky Kiwi ways and by giving us lots of historical information in regards to each place we stopped. The included activities were great - sand boarding in Lancelin, snorkelling the Ningaloo reef, hiking to Nature’s Window, hanging out with dolphins in Coral Bay, etc. Everything was awesome and I’d recommend this trip to anyone who wants to explore WA without having to worry about driving it themselves.

It was a full day tour with a lot of time sitting in the van. Great to get overview of the places to visit in WA and to come back at a later date. The sunset and star gazing is obviously weather dependent but beautiful nevertheless. Recommend to bring some snacks and lunch as we did the additional crystal cave part and did not have time for lunch. Highlight of the tour was obviously the Pinnacles at the end of the day.

We had a fantastic time for our first time in Broome, thanks in great part to APT. They were great in not only organising our tour for each day but also suggesting options suited to our liking, giving us that personalised touch. We highly enjoyed our short stay in Broome and APT were able to organise a plethora of awesome day tours with the local Broome operators. We got to see the best places and everything was taken care of. They even contacted us during the tour and checked in on how we were going. Certainly a very knowledgeable and friendly tour company, do consider APT for your next holiday adventure in Western Australia.

We just loved this tour, Been before (2017) but much has been added since - especially the hatchery & nursery for the all-important oysters themselves. We had an informative drive out from Broome with David and an enthusiastic, witty and informative tour led by Caleb which included opening a pearl shell and a guided on-water tour to the pearl lines. An excellent morning tea followed, complete with homemade damper, in a beautiful shaded setting. We then met with owner Robert (a modest man, clearly well across the whole business) in the pearl display room where we learned of the key qualities of a pearl - and the direct relationship to price! This is a fun, good value tour and thoroughly recommend a visit (5 hours start to finish).
