Top 10 Outdoor Activities in Perth, Western Australia

December 10, 2021 Kandra Bartel

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.

Reviewed By EloiseManon - Sydney, Australia

This is the perfect way to spend a sunny Perth day! From About Bike Hire, there are a number of great rides; around the river, East Perth, Optus Stadium, Kings Park, all of them beautiful. The bikes are in excellent condition - they have somewhere for your water bottle/ keys/ phone, which makes it easy. Sunscreen is also provided at the bike hire shop for forgetful folk such as ourselves! Hint: on a busy day, best phone ahead and reserve your bikes - you can pay over the phone. If you pay for an hour but end up taking them for longer, you just fix up the difference at the end. When we arrived to collect our bikes, there were other groups who hadn't done this and so had to wait. Enjoy! I know we did :)
