Perth Day Trips
Surrounded by a remarkable diversity of natural beauties there are a plethora of options for day trips from Perth to choose from. There are amazingly gorgeous desserts, shining beaches, wildlife-rich islands, and the agricultural richness of the Swan Valley and Margaret River.
The distances between sites might be considerable, but the view is well worth the time. From September to November, striking rock formations emerge from golden-sand deserts, and wildflowers explode from the scorched land in a magnificent blaze of colour.
When you are looking for locations to visit near Perth that are easy half-day trips from the city you can plan a vacation to Fremantle, Perth's port city, to relax on bone-white beaches with lovely blue bays. Or an excursion to the Lake Cave where you'll see crystal formations that are enhanced by the water.
Wildlife is also a feature, both on land and on the water. Not far from the city, you can swim with wild dolphins, see humpback whales migrate, kayak with sea lions, and get up and personal with quokkas (little marsupials) on Rottnest Island. With this selection of top-day excursions from Perth, you can see all the attractions.
