Boats & Ferries

Flowing through the heart of the Perth city, the beautiful Swan River is a popular natural attraction for locals and visitors to enjoy a day out boating, fishing and picnicking.

For the best experience on the water, take advantage of the number of exciting boat and ferry options available.

Catch the Perth Ferry to South Perth

Transperth offers a ferry from Perth to South Perth leaving from the Elizabeth Quay Ferry Terminal. You can cross to South Perth in approx. 10 minutes to visit the Perth Zoo and delight in the views of Perth city from the South Perth foreshore.

You can also catch a ferry to Optus Stadium with Captain Cook Cruises or the Little Ferry Co. Escape the crowds on the way to the game, and take it slow by catching a ferry to the game. Both ferry operators provide a different experience. Captain Cook Cruises leaves from Barracks St Jetty or South Perth (your choice) taking advantage of the beautiful river and amazing jetty facilities at the stadium. Choose from a convenient transfer on the River Cat or combine it with an amazing meal at the Reveley and a VIP entry to the Camfield. The Little Ferry Co. provide game day ferry’s, specialising in groups from 6 to 12 guests leaving from Elizabeth Quay. You can even BYO snacks and beverages. 

Private Cruises

For a ferry experience with a difference, Captain Cook Cruises offer a wide range of cruise options from Perth to the Port City of Fremantle or upstream, towards the magnificent Swan Valley wine region.

Boat Moorings in Elizabeth Quay

Recreational boaties can cruise into Elizabeth Quay and park in one of the 24 short stay boat moorings, which are available for public use. While you’re there stop for a drink at The Reveley Bar, grab a bite to eat at V Burger or treat yourself to some delicious Gusto ice cream.

Gondolas in Perth

Swan River Cruises Perth Review 2024

This post may contain affiliate links (of companies I book through). This means I may receive a small commission if you book through them. You can read the disclaimer for more information.

A Perth Swan River cruise is one of our favourite things to do when we have visitors as it’s a leisurely way to see some of Perth’s top sights from the water. As you depart the city center, you can admire Perth riverfront attractions like the Bell Tower and Kings Park, and glide past pretty suburbs to reach Fremantle, located where the river meets the Indian Ocean.

There’s the option to take the cruise one way, letting you explore Fremantle in your own time, or book a return ticket.

The Swan River is highly important to the Noongar people as, in dreamtime, the river was made by the Waugal rainbow serpent.

Swan River Cruise Departure Point

The Swan River Cruise from Perth to Fremantle leaves from Barrack Street Jetty, in Elizabeth Quay . This jetty is 400m from the Elizabeth Quay train station and bus port.

The free Blue Cat drops off you off at Barrack Square and the ferry leaves from Mends Street Jetty in South Perth to Elizabeth Quay.

Swan River Cruise Perth to Fremantle

As you leave from Barrack Street jetty, you will have a wonderful view of the Bell Tower and Elizabeth Quay as you head out. South Perth is on the opposite side of the Swan River and where you will find Perth Zoo.

As you pass under the Narrows Bridge, which allows the freeway to cross the river, you can see Kings Park , one of the cities main attractions. The freeway continues to run alongside the river on the left, while Mounts Bay Road is on the right. This is where you will see The Old Swan Brewery, now apartments, commercial space, and a restaurant, which dates back to 1879. Dave’s grandad worked there, starting his job for Swan Brewery in February 1950. The brewery moved from these premises in 1966 and the building was redeveloped as a commercial precinct. The Traditional Landowners protested due to the site’s ancient and sacred Aboriginal heritage, but the claims were refused.

Keep a look out for the Eliza Sculpture and the famous Blue Boat House, the Crawley Boatshed. Have a look closely at Eliza as she is often seen wearing various outfits. No one is sure who dresses her but she has worn an assortment of clothes including cocktail dresses, Halloween costumes, Christmas outfits, and school uniforms.

Further along, also on the right, is the University of Western Australia , a world top100 university. This university, opened in 1913, it started with 184 students and now has more than 25,000 students enrolled from 100 countries.

Matilda Bay restaurant, Matilda Bay Reserve and Mounts Bay Sailing Club are further on. Matilda Bay restaurant is a lovely place for lunch or dinner overlooking the Swan River with the Perth city skyline in the background. Our favourite is dinner as there’s something special about seeing the city lights while dining on fresh fish alongside a bottle of Pierro Chardonnay. Matilda Reserve is a beautiful picnic spot, so for a cheaper option, grab some food and head here for amazing views.

Past the point is Nedlands, location of the Nedlands Yacht Club and The Perth Flying Squadrum Yacht Club. Opposite is the riverside suburb of Applecross.

From here onwards, you will be in awe of the luxury homes that front onto the river, some with a private jetty. Perth’s most expensive suburb is here, Dalkeith, with the median house price in May 2021 of A$2.56 million. Although Mosman Park, further along the river, broke the record in 2009 for Australia’s most expensive house, bought by Mineral Resources founder Chris Ellison for A$57.5 million. It still remains Perth’s most expensive home.

As you approach Point Walter, you will see the sand bar, or the spit as us locals call it. The river narrows here between Chidley Point and Blackwall Reach, where you can see the 8m limestone Blackwall Reach Cliffs. This is the deepest part of the Swan River and a popular place for cliff jumping, but people have died doing this, so a sign has now been erected to warn against it. If you want a close up view, consider a Cliffs and Caves Kayak Tour like this one that goes from East Fremantle into Bicton Bay and then along the cliff face.

Point Walter was previously known as Dyoondalup, meaning “place of white sand” and the Blackwall Reach area was known as Jennalup, “place of feet”. This area was traditionally a place for Aboriginal women and children.

As you near the end of the river, you pass East Fremantle with yacht clubs and The Left Bank, a popular “Sunday session” pub. The cruise boat docks at Victoria Quay, where you can easily walk into town.

Once you finished exploring Fremantle, you can take the train back into Perth.

Adventures on and around the Swan River

A mecca for outdoor activities, good times and pristine nature, the sparkling Swan River holds a special place in the hearts of locals.

Meandering from the state’s oldest wine-growing region, past Perth’s twinkling skyline and finally flowing into the Indian Ocean at Fremantle, Derbarl Yerrigan, as the Swan River is known to the Nyoongar people, has charted a course through this beautiful corner of Western Australia for tens of thousands of years.

Framed by expansive blue skies, the river is a source of nourishment for the locals in more ways than one. From some of Western Australia’s best wineries to relaxing walks and action-packed adventures, there are so many things to see and do in and along the Swan.

A scenic journey to the Swan Valley

A boat trip is an enchanting way to travel, and a leisurely cruise up the Swan River delivers you smack-bang in the heart of the Swan Valley, a gorgeous age-old wine region right on Perth’s doorstep. Several operators, including Captain Cook Cruises , the Little Ferry Co and Swan Valley Tours , can get you to ‘Perth’s pantry’ in style.

Find your new favourite drop at world-class wineries like award-winning Mandoon Estate or Sandalford , which has been producing superb wines for more than 180 years. Sample Edgecombe Brothers ‘ rustic cellar door and cafe-restaurant, then taste Funk 2.0 ’s exciting left-of-centre preservative-free wine, beer and cider.

Mandoon Estate

Indulge in delicious fare made to time-honoured recipes, picnic along the riverbank, or spend the day hopping between stylish cellar doors, distilleries and art galleries. The Swan Valley is bursting with food, culture and life.

The most idyllic way to explore Perth’s attractions

The Swan River is your picturesque pathway to exploring Perth and its surrounds.

View the charming port city of Fremantle from a different angle with a scenic cruise down the Swan River from Perth. Climb aboard Captain Cook Cruises for panoramic views of stunning waterfront scenery, magnificent mansions, stylish yacht clubs and picture-perfect Crawley Edge Boatshed, isolated at the end of a sweeping pier. The visual feast is accompanied by insightful commentary, pointing out attractions like the towering cliffs at Blackwall Reach and Point Walter spit – a golden sandbar that stretches 1 kilometre into the river. Disembark at the harbour to soak up Fremantle’s fascinating colonial and maritime history and architecture, art and cultural spaces, and buzzing eating and drinking scene.

Shimmering on the horizon, sun-kissed Rottnest Island is only short trip from Perth’s Barrack Street Jetty or Fremantle’s B Shed – the SeaLink Rottnest Island fast ferry has several daily departures and will get you there in next to no time. Blissfully car-free, Rottnest Island boasts 63 beautiful beaches and 20 white-sand bays, along with nature and cycling trails, shipwreck-strewn coral reefs and secret swim spots like pretty Little Parakeet Bay. But it’s the quirky quokka that really steals the show – these fascinating marsupials can only be found here and in one other corner of Western Australia.

Rottnest Island

Heading to an AFL match, concert or event? Enjoy all the blockbuster action without the traffic – on event days, fans and concertgoers can set sail to the Optus Stadium with Little Ferry Co or Captain Cook Cruises .

Floating the day away

Embrace river life as you float along the Swan River, taking in sweeping views and soaking up the sun.

Gather up to seven of your favourite people, pack a picnic and sail away on a self-skippered electric boat. Departing from Maylands boat ramp, Nauti Picnics is a unique way to take in urban architecture, ancient landscapes and the rugged foreshore at your own gentle pace. Best of all, you don’t need a skippers license.

The creative geniuses behind The Raft have transformed an old fireworks barge into a one-of-a-kind floating bar in the middle of the Swan River. Secure a spot to sample boozy cocktails, bubbles, craft beers, local wines and handcrafted global-inspired bites. A couple of highlights? The party atmosphere and fiery sunsets over Kings Park Botanic Gardens.

Get active by the river

The Swan River is a hub of relaxation and adventure – and, thanks to Western Australia’s sunny days, you can make the most of the great outdoors year-round.

The Swan River Loop, a 10-kilometre walking and cycling trail, is a fabulous way to relax and discover the sights of Perth, and perhaps even spot a duo of black swans. Or join an Aboriginal-led Warrang-Bridil cultural tour , which unpacks the deep cultural and mythological significance the Swan River has for the traditional owners of the land.

For something a little different, traverse the sparkling waters of the Swan River on a waterbike, a cross between a boat and a bike. Perth Waterbike Co can hook you up on on a pedal-powered adventure that provides both fun and sightseeing.

Glide through the unspoilt Canning River wetlands, explore the limestone cliffs of Blackwall Reach or visit the Swan Valley’s Mandoon Estate on a kayak trip with GoGo Active Tours . Or enjoy 360-degree views as you paddleboard along the Swan River’s calm waters at your own pace. Operators like SUP Central WA can tailor your on-water experience to suit your skill level.

For Perth’s locals, the Swan River is a way of life. Discover your own personal Swan River experience when you plan your trip to Western Australia.

Tourism Western Australia acknowledges Aboriginal peoples as the traditional custodians of Western Australia and pay our respects to Elders past and present. We celebrate the diversity of Aboriginal West Australians and honour their continuing connection to Country, culture and community. We recognise and appreciate the invaluable contributions made by First Nations peoples across many generations in shaping Western Australia as a premier destination.
