Quokkas, Vineyards and Coral Reefs

Explore the many sides of Western Australia, from southern vineyards to northern coral gardens.

Western Australia is the country’s largest state, yet it is overlooked by many, often in favour of New South Wales or Queensland. This journey, however, shows why it deserves just as much attention. From the urban energy of Perth to the tranquillity of Margaret River’s vineyards and surf beaches, and the complete seclusion in Ningaloo Reef, the contrasts are striking and beautifully capture Australia’s diversity.

Our Australia expert Otti says: “This trip goes to what I consider to be one of Australia's best regions, Margaret River, which produces some of the country’s finest wines, yet because it isn’t right on the doorstep of Sydney or Melbourne, it appears on fewer people's itineraries. Beyond the cellar doors, you’ll find dramatic stretches of coastline with surf beaches and walking trails, as well as incredible limestone caves to explore. It’s a place that rewards those who make the journey.”

What makes this trip truly special is the feeling of remoteness and discovery. Western Australia has landscapes that can feel like the edge of the world, none more so than the pristine stretches of coastline along Ningaloo Reef, famed for the annual visits of whale sharks. It’s a holiday that blends vibrant city life with rural calm and wilderness adventures, offering what we consider to be a potentially more authentic experience of Australia.


Trip Itinerary

Day 1 Welcome to Perth

Staying at COMO The Treasury

This hotel is located only 450 metres from Elizabeth Quay and less than 2 km from King's Park, one of the largest urban parks in the world. After reaching your hotel, the rest of the day is at leisure for you to either getting to know Perth or relaxing after your journey in the hotel.

Day 2 Rottnest Island Tour

Quokkas rottnest island perth

Get ready for a day of adventure on Rottnest Island, just a short ferry ride from Perth! As soon as you arrive, your bike will be waiting, giving you the freedom to explore hidden coves, pristine beaches, and scenic trails at your own pace. There are only a handful of cars allowed on the island so cycling is the primary means of transportation! Keep your eyes peeled (you won't have to look too hard, don't worry) for the island’s famously friendly quokkas – these smiling marsupials love posing for selfies and are guaranteed to make your day even more memorable. After a fun-filled day, hop back on the ferry to Perth.
