- Choose one of Captain Cook Cruises for a sparkling Swan River adventure between Perth and Fremantle.
- Fremantle Rock Lobster Tours with Apache Charters offers a ‘catch, cook and keep’ tour departing from Fremantle abord the fully equipped 70ft Lady Grace.
- Leeuwin Ocean Adventure is an experience of a lifetime aboard an 1850’s style barquentine tall ship. No sailing experience required mateys but you may be asked to help with steering the helm and hauling lines.
- Book a sailing tour on Starsand, a 65 foot ketch-rigged yacht, crafted from timber and brass. Choose from sunset sails, Carnac Island Adventures or a Rottnest Island Day Trip running from 1 November to 31 March.

As the gateway to Perth’s favourite holiday isle we have to give a shout out to Rottnest. How long since you’ve been? With vouchers on offer, now is the time! For the ultimate weekend warrior experience, book an experience with SeaLink or Rottnest Express and head over to the Island for a look. Fremantle is the perfect base for a day trip to Rottnest. And now for a hot tip! Accommodation availability is tight on the island, so stress less and book a room in Freo. We are a 25 minute ferry ride from the island and the ferry terminal is walking distance from most of our hotels. You can have that tip for free!
