Fremantle (Freo), Perth’s maritime center, offers a pleasant change of pace from the nearby state capital. From the Victorian Fremantle Markets to the convict-built History Museum to the strikingly modern Maritime Museum, Fremantle is an elegant and energetic spot. Head south and enjoy patio dining on the Cappuccino Strip, famous for its great beaches and boisterous nightlife.

We had a lovely day at sea with Ilija and Su. Sadly there were no dolphins but the sea lions were brilliant. leaving the sail boat we went closer to shore in their dingy and were up close to a couple of Carnac's residents, the sea lions. The Sausage sizzle lunch was lovely and Ilija and Su's local knowledge was great and they looked after us really well. I would definitely recommend this trip.

This is a private tour catering for 7 seats or less. Being in a private tour with a born & bred Perth local means you get to see a lot more. Tour buses cant get to where I take you either, and you dont wait for others to play catch up! The tour is popular for its massive content, personal flexibility and its local focus. If you have particular things you want to see please let us know in advance. Expect to see the coolest things not just what you've seen in the brochures. This can also be an excellent Kid friendly tour with many locations that appeal to children of all ages. Random photo stops are part of this huge day tour.

I strongly recommend Perths Tiny tour / Peter. We did 2 tours with Peter: the pinnacles day tour and the Margaret river tour. For each tour, he picked us at our hotel and dropped us off at the end of the tour. The tours were well organized and we saw really nice things: the must sees like the Pinnacles but also more peculiar things like the gnomes'village. Peter was also a really informative guide telling us a lot about western Australia. FYI, we booked 2 tours with other companies and they cancelled last minute. Peter saved us and took us last minute on the Margaret river tour. Thank you Peter!

The most spectacular experiences was the Gap at Albany and the Canal Rocks at Yallingup , the coach ride was most comfortable and relaxing we had the best Tour guide/ driver Peter Morris. The accommodation was satisfactory but Abbey Beach was the highlight of our stay , all meals included were more than satisfactory. The 4 day trip was a well organised tour

Charter 1 is the famous yellow catamaran everybody knows and loves. She's impossible to miss and hugely popular for taking guests on magical ocean sunset sails on Thursday to Sunday evenings (season dependent). Watch Fremantle, the Port and Harbour come alive with a kaleidoscope of colours. You may even be joined by a pod of dolphins or see humpback whales and their calves as they migrate down the coast from Sept – Nov. An ocean facing sunset in Perth is an experience you'll remember forever. 'Capella' is a luxury appointed 12.5m Schionning sailing catamaran custom built for tours and charting. She is noted for her stable ride and huge deck space at nearly twice the width of a single hull vessel, meaning plenty of spaces to sit and relax as you watch the day turn into night and the stars come out to shine. Time of departure varies by time of year due to differences in sunset times - please check at the time of booking.

Inclusions: A glass of sparkling wine on arrival (one per adult), Shared antipasto throughout the journey, BYO additional drinks at no charge (excludes spirits)
