You will have an opportunity to explore the remote capital&#8217;s multi-cultural diversity, historical Perth attractions, unique foods and relaxed atmosphere at its soft-sand beaches. As you explore the city, see Yagan Square and Elizabeth Quay with its unusual Spanda sculpture, designed to link the Swan River, land and sky. Enjoy a leisurely stroll through the Kings Park, home to 3,000 species of Western Australia&#8217;s unique flora and sweeping city views. Discover why Perth deserves its status as one of the world&#8217;s most liveable cities as you meet the locals along the banks of the Swan River or visit the Bell Tower for panoramic views from its open-air observation deck. And, don\u2019t forget to try the fine flavours of Western Australian vintage wines and brews. Delicious!<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-24067\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/11\/perth-australia-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Perth, Australia\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/perth-australia-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/perth-australia-330x186.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/perth-australia-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/perth-australia.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-margaret-river\"><strong>Margaret River<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>Margaret River is a small town just south of Perth in Western Australia, known for its craft breweries, cute local boutiques and surrounding wineries. White sand beaches also line the nearby coast where migratory whales can often be spotted from June to November each year. It&#8217;s for all of these attractions that a visit to Margaret River is one of the most popular things to do in Western Australia.<\/p>\n\n<p>It&#8217;s also here that Trafalgar offers a unique &#8216;Be My Guest&#8217; experience at Cape Naturaliste, where you get the chance to connect with the local indigenous Wadandi people. See the treasures of nature through the eyes of an indigenous custodian and gain insights into their traditions, artefacts and didgeridoo expression. The culture here is unique and so is the cuisine. Continue along vineyard-lined roads to a Margaret River winery and join winemakers for a guided walk through the vineyards. Raise your glass to its award-winning vintages during an included dinner at the Other Side of the Moon restaurant on your Trafalgar tour.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>RELATED CONTENT:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/aboriginal-culture-northern-territory-australia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">6 ways to connect with First Nations culture in the Northern Territory, Australia<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-penguin-island\"><strong>Penguin Island<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Penguin Island here in the West Coast is home to the world&#8217;s smallest penguins and lazy sea lions.
