The 5 Best Short Trips From Perth

Nature and urban life harmoniously combine in Perth. As Australia’s sunniest capital city, the city is marvellously laid-back, liveable and cosmopolitan. However, journey a bit further outside this bustling metropolis and you’ll discover white-sand beaches, world-class wineries and one of Australia’s best marine park wonderlands. So if you’re travelling for business and need to unwind over the weekend or planning a leisure trip, here is a list of our five favourite short trips from Perth.

1. Head to Fremantle for History, Markets and Some of Australia’s Best Beaches

Around thirty minutes south of the city you’ll find Fremantle, arguably one of WA’s coolest destinations and a spot that offers a myriad of must-see attractions suited to any intrepid wanderer.

ƒIf you’re a beach fan, then you’ll be in your watery element here with four main beaches perfect for paddling, picnicking and kite surfing. South Beach offers superb views of Rottnest Island, Port Beach is great for snorkelling, Leighton Beach ideal if you’re considering your first surfing lesson and Bathers Beach a top spot for a sunset fish ‘n’ chips feast.

History buffs enjoying a short trip from Perth should walk the worn pathways of the iconic Fremantle Prison, and if you love all things nautical, head to the WA Maritime Museum. Set on the shoreline of the Indian Ocean, here you can view a number of exhibits including an Oberon class submarine and  Australia II,  the winner of the 1983 America’s Cup.

Love shopping? Then you can’t miss the historic Fremantle Markets. Lively and chaotic, they are located a stone’s throw from the ‘Cappuccino Strip’ and feature over 150 stalls offering everything from jewellery and fashion to local produce and homewares.

2. Feast And Frolick Your Way Through the Swan Valley And Some of the Country’s Best Wineries

If you’re after a half-hour short trip from Perth, then head northeast to the Swan Valley, home to WA’s oldest wine growing region. Here you’ll find over 40 cellar doors, some fantastic breweries and if you’re lucky enough to have a designated driver for the day, can experience the 32-kilometre loop of the Swan Valley Food and Wine Trail, which takes in over 200 gastronomic attractions.

Visit organic wineries and award-winning microbreweries and then settle in for a vineyard-view al fresco lunch, or you can opt to fill a picnic basket with gourmet goodies and then laze about the lushness of Bell Rapids or Whiteman Park.

Here in the Swan Valley you can also pat a local kangaroo at Caversham Wildlife Park, wander through the vintage shops in Guildford, or take home a unique piece fashioned by one of the area’s talented painters, potters, woodworkers or printmakers.

3. Swim, Sail and Snorkel Your Way Around Mandurah and Its Picturesque Canals

If you’re after a seaside-bound day trip from Perth, an hour’s travel south will have you at Mandurah, which is an absolute nirvana for water sports lovers. Swimming, sailing, windsurfing, jet skiing, jet boarding … they’re all on offer here, and if you’re a mad angler, you’ll enjoy the fishing opportunities and the chance for crabbing in the shallow estuaries.

Adrenalin junkies might want to hit the iconic Munda Biddi Bike Trail (it’s the longest track of its kind in the world), play a few rounds of ocean-view golf, or visit Dolphin Quay at the Mandurah Marina.

And of course, no trip to Mandurah would be complete without a boat cruise on the area’s canals, where you can laze about on deck with a glass of bubbles while keeping your eye out for a glimpse of a wild bottle-nosed dolphin or two.

4. View a Breathtaking Underwater World from Busselton’s Jetty and Soak Up Its Maritime History

Thinking about a weekend getaway from Perth? Two and a half hours south of the city centre is Busselton’s pride and joy – its artificial reef and underwater observatory located at the end of the 1.8 kilometre-long Busselton Jetty. Descending eight metres beneath the water’s surface, visitors can view more than 300 marine species within its 9.5-metre-diameter observation chamber.

If you’re a little on the claustrophobic side, opt for a swim of the sparkling waters of the Indian Ocean instead, browse through an endless array of homewares stores and boutique fashion outlets, or for a spot of history, take a visit back to the 1800’s amid the memorabilia and the memories of the Busselton Museum.

5. Sip Wine in Margaret River and Marvel at the Wonders of Its Incredible Marine Life

For the perfect weekend escape from Perth, head for the uninterrupted coastline and rolling vineyards of the Margaret River. In just under three hours you’ll find yourself amid more than 150 world-class wineries, renowned for several blends including their cabernet sauvignons and chardonnays. Pair a day of wine tasting with a decadent five-course menu from one of the area’s top restaurants and your taste buds will truly be in heaven.

If you’re into wildlife, the Margaret River region is home to some of the best whale watching in Australia, boasting one of the longest running whale watching seasons in the world. From May right through to early December, Humpbacks and Southern Right Wales splash delightfully about these waters, and if you’re lucky you may even catch a glimpse of a Bottlenose Dolphin, a New Zealand Fur Seal or even the world’s largest living creature, a Blue Whale.

Whether you’re keen to day-trip it in comfort or you’re off to celebrate a wonderfully long weekend free from the hustle and bustle of city life, we can take you there in style.

Safaris aren't the only tourist attraction in Africa. From cruises to wine tasting, here's what else you can do

By ,cnbc • published may 27, 2024 • updated on may 27, 2024 at 10:45 pm.

Africa is blessed with some of the rarest and most beautiful animals in the world — a fact that entices tourists to book safaris year-round.

But safaris only scratch the surface of what the continent has to offer.

From wine tours to vibrant coastal cities, other experiences await those who are willing to go beyond game drives and delve deeper into the core of the continent.

For those who love hiking, Africa is blessed with many peaks — from Morocco's Mount Toubkal to the continent's highest peak, Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania.

But there's also Mount Nyangani in Zimbabwe, which has a skywalk atop the Mutarazi Falls, the country's highest waterfall.

South Africa's Table Mountain can be climbed in a matter of hours, but adrenaline junkies may prefer to bungie jump from Johannesburg's Soweto Towers , or the Bloukrans Bridge along the country's famous "Garden Route."

Africa is ideal for travelers who crave adventure, said Zina Bencheikh, managing director for Europe, the Middle East and Africa at Intrepid Travel.

She recommends Madagascar's Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park, which has two geological zones called the "Small Tsingy" and "Big Tsingy," which in the local language of Malagasy, refers to a place "where one cannot walk barefoot."

"Big Tsingy Trek is not your usual hike!" she said, describing it as a "labyrinth of limestone formations that resemble a forest made of rock."

In Namibia, travelers can climb the iconic Dune 45 to admire the sand dunes of the Sossusvlei, explore the eerie white clay pan of Deadvlei , or hike through the picturesque Sesriem Canyon.

At Victoria Falls, along the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe, travelers can whitewater raft, bungee jump or swim at the Devil's Pool, which is on Zambia's side of the falls. Similar adventures can be found in Jinja, Uganda, where the River Nile begins.

Hot air balloons are a popular and adventurous way to explore too, with a bird's eye view of the berber villages of Morocco to Kenya's Masai Mara.

Explore the beach

African beach towns combine beauty and culture, in places like Seychelles, Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa, Mozambique, Mauritius, Zanzibar, Ghana, Namibia and Egypt.

Mombasa, a coastal city in Kenya, is one example.  

"Here, you'll experience African, Indian and Arab cultures in one place. Fort Jesus is one of Mombasa's notable sites and was built by the Portuguese in 1593. In less than 200 years, the fort changed hands nine times," said Luciemarie Swanepoel, owner of African Sky of Diamonds Tours & Safaris.

She recommends visiting Zanzibar to wander the Stone Town's labyrinthine alleys along with Kenya's Swahili Coast, the historical Gede ruins, and the UNESCO-named Mijikenda Kaya Forests .

"Madagascar … is another island gem, with beaches like Nosy Be and Ile Sainte Marie boasting palm-fringed coasts and vibrant coastal villages," said Swanepoel.

Durban and Cape Town are two of the best beach destinations in South Africa, she said, adding that travelers can kitesurf, snorkel, kayak or search for dugongs and whales there.

Go on a cruise

From budget-friendly houseboats to luxurious all-inclusive boutique lake cruises, Africa has a range of unique boating experiences.

Cruises along the Nile, Zambezi and Chobe rivers, as well as a cruise along Rwanda's Lake Kivu, come highly recommended, as water journeys can offer a spectacular viewing platform for wildlife.

"During a river cruise, you may spot a herd of elephants wading through shimmering water, witness great buffalo gathering along the water's edge, and even observe crocodiles stealthily slicing through pools. Hundreds of hippos also wallow in the river with just their nostrils poking out," says Kate Powell, general manager of the houseboat company Zambezi Queen Collection.

Travelers can also cruise between villages, fish, and bask in the tranquil waters. 

"One can explore the Manambolo River on a pirogue, or wooden dugout canoe, under the shadow of towering rock cliffs [or] stop to explore a cave and the eerie tombs of the Vazimba, said to be the earliest inhabitants of Madagascar," said Intrepid's Bencheikh.

In addition to being a popular stop for world cruises, East and South Africa have their own ocean cruise routes which follow the coastlines and visit offshore islands. Silversea, Norwegian Cruise Line and MSC have cruises departing from Africa.

The best places — and best times — to take a safari

Maritime journeys in Africa allow visitors to experience the continent's wildlife, cultures and landscapes from a unique vantage point, said Kevin Bubolz, Norwegian's vice president for Continental Europe, Middle East and Africa.  

"In Port Elizabeth, the Penguin Island Cruise excursion is a standout experience. You'll journey to the world's largest colony of African penguins in their natural habitat," he said. "If you're lucky, you might also catch a glimpse of playful humpback and bottle-nose dolphins."

Countries like Morocco, Namibia and Ethiopia have established wine regions. But South Africa is the continent's crown jewel.

"South Africa is renowned for its world-class wine regions, with the Western Cape being the heart of the industry," said Wrenelle Stander, CEO of Wesgro, Cape Town's tourism and trade agency.

"The areas around Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Paarl comprise the famous Cape Winelands, where visitors can tour historic estates, taste award-winning wines, and learn about the winemaking process."

Not only is Stellenbosch one of the best places for wine tours, it's also a culinary hot spot, known for its innovative food scene. Elmarie Rabe, the marketing manager at Visit Stellenbosch, advises travelers to select wineries that are committed to sustainable and organic practices.

"Also consider the traveling distance between farms, as Stellenbosch stretches over 60 square kilometers," she said.

The best time to visit is during the harvest season from late January to March, when the vineyards are in full swing. But every season has its own charm, she added.

"Spring offers lush landscapes and ideal weather, while winter is perfect for enjoying bold red wines by the fireplace. Summer provides sunny days perfect for outdoor wine tasting," Rabe said.

What a fun time! Captain Frank and Erin were such great hosts to our very first expedition on the new Stamford Pedal Cruise. The name of the boat is the Pier Pressure II. I have been on the Milford Pedal Cruise before and both are just a super fun way to get together with a group of 22 of your friends and have a great time on the water. Here are some things you'll need to know: The Pier Pressure II is Stamford's only pedal powered party boat operated on Stamford Harbor and goes out into the Long Island Sound. It's a 90 minute excursion that is perfect for corporate outings and team building, as well as office, bachelorette, family, friends and birthday celebrations. It fits 26 guests at 12 pedaling stations & benches, a bar table, coolers, has a bluetooth stereo and also a bathroom. Private Cruises begin at $749 and Public Cruises are sold by the ticket, starting at $55, and seat up to 22 passengers. Guests do tip the Captain & First Mate since they rely on it to pay their bills. Suggested tip for Private Cruises: $200-300 and $10-15 per person for Group Cruises. BYOB! Drinks - beer, wine, hard seltzers, ciders, canned cocktails and the like are suggested. Please avoid bringing glass on board. Only guests 21 years of age or older may bring or consume alcoholic beverages. Don't forget some water. Bring Ice - they do not provide ice :) Bing Snacks - keep in mind it can be breezy on the boat. Cups, utensils, plates, napkins, etc - we do not carry these onboard, so please bring what you need and consider bringing reusable items to help the environment and reduce trash. Depending on the time of year and weather, don't forget your sunscreen, sunglasses, rain poncho or jacket. It does get cooler on the water- so bring a hoodie :) Lastly- free parking can be found at the Harbor Point Garage at 855 Pacific Street, Stamford, CT 06902 located between Washington Blvd & Harbor Point Rd. Other parking options include street parking and the lot at 200 Washington Blvd. They highly encourage using Uber, Lyft & taxi services, as well as the Metro North Train, a 15 min walk to the meeting location. Their waiting area is located at 1 Harbor Point Rd, Stamford, CT 06902 down the steps and under the blue canopy. You'll see Pedal Cruise signs along the way. Staff will let you and your group down to the boat through a locked gate when the boat is ready for boarding. Please do not enter through the gate without a Pedal Cruise staff member since it is private property. Cheers and have the best time! We sure did!
