Canal Christmas Lights Tours
Christmas lights cruises & tours, don’t miss out on mandurah’s famous christmas lights..
The coastal city of Mandurah , less than an hour south of Perth, is often compared to a little modern Venice because of its spectacular waterways and canal living. But did you know that Mandurah turns into a little Las Vegas every year from December until mid-January?
The Mandurah residents who live on the canals like to dress up their houses for Christmas with over 200 houses along the canals lit up all in the spirit of Christmas.
Experience a Christmas wonderland on water and on land in Mandurah .
Thanks to the Mandurah canal residents for putting in an enormous effort and dressing up their houses for Christmas at their own expense, every year more than 200 homes come alive with lights and everyone wants to stand out. There is some healthy competition in the canals and people who do not light up their houses are called the grinches – in a friendly manner of course.
Some residents have about 100 items plugged in, spend about 80 man-hours to install their Christmas lights decoration, and use 15 timeclocks powered by 30 power boards from 20 extension leads.
Christmas Lights Cruises
The best way to watch this spectacle is from a boat. As you drift down the canals by boat or on board a cruise or private charter, there is a water wishing well with all proceeds going to local charities. So don’t forget to take some cash and gold coins!
Ever popular, this delightful cruise experience becomes increasingly beautiful each year. Dress for the occasion, sing along with the Christmas carols and bring your Christmas cheer. This is a very special tour at a special time of year.
Don’t miss out on this spectacular event and book your Christmas Lights Cruise early with one of these local operators.

16 of the best streets in Perth to see Christmas lights
Travel & Touring | WA Things to Do
7 December, 2023 By: Monique Ceccato
Rounding up the family and heading out to see Perth’s elaborate Christmas light displays has become a special treat for young families. Houses right across the metropolitan area, from Mandurah to Alkimos, put on their festive finest from as early as late November.
It’s all in the name of spreading some holiday cheer. Queue your favourite Christmas carols, strap on your seatbelts, and hit the road to see some of these dazzling Christmas light displays.
RELATED: Perth's most scenic drives »
8 Malleefowl Way
Decorating a house with more than 13,000 lights sounds like a recipe for glittering chaos. But 8 Malleefowl Way has to be one of the neatest, most organised Christmas light displays in Perth. The interactive display runs from 7:30pm to 10:00pm each night and is programmed to change in time with the carol soundtrack, which you can tune into on 99.9FM if you’re swinging past by car. If walking, park at the nearby Alkimos Beach Primary to ease congestion in the residential streets.
13 Warrina Place Barely an inch of this Armadale home’s brick façade is left uncovered by the magic of Christmas. Around 350,000 LED lights adorn the house, gardens, and trees, as well as giant Christmas avocado and tin soldier inflatables. You can catch the glittering display from 7:30pm to 10:00pm, right up until Christmas day. The easiest way to get to the home is by walking from the Challis Primary School car park.
Aromatic Crescent, Harmony Avenue*, Kennack Vista Make an evening of your light-seeing and drop into three of Atwell’s most celebrated displays; it takes all of 10 minutes to drive between the trio. Start at Aromatic Crescent, where an interactive inflatable igloo, huge sleigh, and Santa chair are the main attractions. Then, move on to the synchronised audio-visual display and artificial snow (only on weekends in the lead-up to Christmas and every day closer to the big day) at Kennack Vista before finishing on the glittering lights at Harmony Drive.
24 Livonia Street* Don some festive finery and pose for a memorable Christmas photo in this Brabham home's life-sized Santa chair or sleigh. There’s a bubble machine, smoke machine, faux snow to enhance the atmosphere, and—of course—thousands of sparkling lights. Make a night of it and have an early barbecue dinner at the nearby Ariella Adventure Park. The Christmas lights don’t kick off until around 7:00pm, so you have plenty of time to enjoy the park's calm before the merry chaos.
Samson Court* Blinking, glittering, and moving lights are everywhere on this short, residential street. It’s another community effort, with almost every house joining in on the nightly shows. Park at the Poynter Primary School and cross the oval to get to the cul-de-sac, where you’ll see a house covered in more than 15,000 programmed LED lights, life-sized nativity scenes, and plenty of dancing lasers. The show starts at 7:30pm each night and ends at 10:30pm.

3 D’Ercole Court It might be well into the 30s in Perth come Christmas time, but it still snows in Gwelup. Head to 3 D’Ercole Court at 7:30pm from Thursday to Sunday, and you’ll get your white Christmas without leaving the country. Closer to Christmas day, it snows every night of the week, making the musical light program even more magical. A popular light display and a small cul-de-sac make for plenty of traffic, so leave the car elsewhere and wander down to the house on foot.

Hammond Park
High wycombe.
Palmer Crescent and Wem Mews Just as snow is an integral part of the festive season for the Northern Hemisphere, Christmas in Australia wouldn’t be Christmas without present-bearing and hat-wearing kangaroos, koalas, and wombats. The kids will love having their pictures taken beside the jolly inflatables, which join Santa and the reindeer at—what is arguably—the most Australian holiday display in Perth. But the inflatables aren’t the be-all and end-all. Thousands of Christmas lights are strung up all over the house and garden, too.
View this post on Instagram A post shared by Amy Scott (@my5littlepigsau)
5 Geebung Street*
Park at East Maddington Primary and walk over to this Christmas Wonderland because the kids will want to stay here for hours, and it’s not just the detailed festive display that they’ll be enthralled by. There's a fun children's play area alongside the 3m Santa, his life-sized workshop, and a miniature North Pole Village. It really is all about the kids here, with all donations collected at the display supporting the Perth Children’s Hospital.
7 Collins Court*
7 Collins Court won the award for ‘Best House North of the River’ in the 2022 Synergy Xmas Lights Trail competition, and for good reason: it’s simply magical. Owners Jo and Maria have been decorating their house for their grandchildren, special needs daughter, and the public to enjoy for the past 18 years. It takes them some 120 hours to set up the thousands of lights in the leadup to Christmas, but it’s all worth it, with the results much-loved by the wider community.
Consulate Court There’s so much more to this festive street than just the fantastic light displays and reindeer on the roof. In the lead-up to Christmas day, there’s a roster of fun family events to look out for, too. If carolling is your thing, visit the street on its carolling night, or perhaps the charity bake sale or visiting Santa (escorted in via a Hot Rod) are more your speed. Understandably, the street gets busy at this time of year, so park up at Sacred Heart Primary and wander over from there. You can keep up to date with the month’s events on the street’s dedicated Facebook page.

Rio Tinto Christmas Lights Trail
Northbridge and perth.
47 nights of lights, 22 installations, and performances galore: The City of Perth, Rio Tinto, and Lotterywest have gone all out for Christmas this year. The mega lights trail begins in the Northbridge Piazza, where a pulsating light display reacts to your presence. Follow the installations through the Cultural Centre, Raine Square, and the Murray St Mall to Cathedral Square, where a constellation labyrinth awaits. Visit on a Friday or Saturday night, and Santa will be meeting and greeting the kids just across the road at Council House. Finish up the trail at Elizabeth Quay and marvel at the 8m-high illuminated sailing ship.

Mandurah Canals Christmas Lights
With the weather pushing the 30s, there’s no better way to experience the Christmas light displays than from the water. Launch your own boat into the Mandurah Canals and cruise around to see the 200+ homes that take part in the decorating extravaganza each year. Alternatively, book a spot on one of the many tours that depart at this time of the year—pirate ships and floating barbecue boats included. It’s a much-loved WA experience and one you have to do at least once in your lifetime.

Nothing says Christmas quite like a festive light display in Perth, and with less than two weeks til Christmas, now is when the streets come alive with twinkling trails.
You have to appreciate the amount of effort it takes to create a picture-perfect scene that would impress Santa himself, so it would be rude not to get out and admire them all.
If you're stuck wondering what suburb has the best Christmas lights in Perth, you're in luck.
From walking trails to neighbourhood homes, we've made a list (and checked it twice) of the best Christmas lights in Perth for 2023. Hop in the car, pump the carols, let's go.
Christmas Light Trails

The City Of Perth has dusted off the decorations for another dazzling year of festive lights. As always, you'll find these mesmerising light installations dotted throughout Perth CBD and Northbridge, with a handy map available for download here to help you on your merry mile. This year there are a whopping 47 stops to tick off, featuring everything from giant illuminated Christmas trees to Christmas quokkas, kangaroos and more.
City Of Vincent's Christmas Light Trail
Leederville, north perth, highgate, mount hawthorn.
The City Of Vincent is also switching on the lights this year, with a string of awesome walk-through installations featuring stars, baubles, presents and more now lighting up a series of parks and streets throughout the town centres.
Mandurah Canals
Each year, the winding waterways of Mandurah's marina are transformed into a sparkling, kaleidoscopic Christmas trail , with more than 200 homes absolutely glitzed to the nines in their festive best. The best way to see it all is by boat, so go ahead and hop aboard a Chrissy canal cruise or hire your own private charter.
Twilight Trail
Subiaco has six glimmering large-scale light installations, including one very photogenic giant golden tree that's practically screaming for you to stop and take a picture in front of it. Follow the glow, snap a pic then stroll on through to Subi's best bars and restaurants.
Wanneroo Botanic Gardens
If glow-in-the-dark Christmas mini golf sounds like your jam, you need to lock in a night at Wanneroo Botanic Gardens . The entire gardens are lit up with all sorts of festive displays from now til Jan, with five acres of magic to soak up. Just head to the website to book a viewing session.

Mandurah Cruises Christmas Lights Cruise
If you love Christmas Lights then this is the cruise for you! Run by Mandurah Cruises, the Christmas Lights Cruise departs every night from 1st December 2023 to 6th January 2024. There are several options to choose from including a 2hr family cruise which includes Christmas snacks, sunset and lights cruise, the premium cruise which includes drinks or the standard 1 hr cruise. We chose to do the standard 1-hour cruise.
The cruises run nightly throughout December and into the first week of January. They are very popular and the weeke nd cruises book out quickly. The cruise we booked was on the Mandjar boat and departed from the Mandjar Jetty in front of the performing arts centre. The cruise we took departed at 7.30pm and there was another one leaving after we returned. There are other cruises departing from the Jetty at the same time so make sure check with one of the staff you are in the right queue.
Even though the cruise didn’t depart until 7.30pm the booking information suggested arriving at the Jetty by 7pm and everyone was boarded by 7.20pm. To keep us entertained while we waited there was carol singing and Santa and his elf wandering around chatting with the kids.
The Mandjar is a two-storey boat with a bar that was open for snacks, coffee and drinks. The boat cruises up and down the canals past the stunning light displays on the houses. While the boat is moving you are able to move around and go outside. The lights really are stunning with some of the houses really going all out. The boat played carols as it cruises through the canals, we were even encouraged to join and have a sing-along at one point.
The whole family enjoyed the cruise and our daughter was amazed at some of the light displays and giant Christmas inflatables. I was a little worried my daughter would get bored but she loved the whole thing.
We found the cruise relaxing and the visual display is awesome, we will definitely be back for another Christmas cruise next year.
Departing every night ~ 1 December 2023 to 6 January 2024
ADULTS ~ FROM $49 CHILDREN 3-12 YEARS ~ FROM $32 CHILDREN 1-2 YEARS ~ FROM $10 INFANTS UNDER 12 MONTHS FREE

As the nights stretch longer and the soft scent of summer wafts through the air, one event signifies the holiday season like no other here: the annual Perth Christmas lights .
Let’s be honest: Our corner of the globe may lack the winter wonderland vibes that usually come to mind when thinking of Christmas—no snowflakes, no winter coats, and no hot cocoa or mulled wine by the fireplace.
But I stillenjoy seeing the Christmas light display which is magical. Perth City and its suburbs transform into a twinkling tapestry of colours, bringing together communities.
In this blog post, I’ll guide you through the luminous wonder of Perth’s Christmas lights. Whether you’re visiting from out of town or are a lifelong resident looking to revel in the festivities, I’ll walk you through the must-see displays and hidden spots.
Together, we’ll discover why Perth’s Christmas lights are an experience that captivates the childlike awe in all of us, locals and travellers alike.
Best Christmas Lights Perth: Key Takeaways

- Wanneroo Botanicals Gardens
- Suburbs (read on)
Christmas Lights Perth City 2023
As we turn the corner from November to December, the annual Christmas Lights Trail is one of the most enchanting experiences that takes over Perth City.
This is not just a trail but an adventure—a festive quest that brings together families, friends, and couples to soak in the electric atmosphere that transforms the cityscape into a dazzling wonderland.
Starting off from Northbridge Plaza, the trail is a self-guided journey through iconic landmarks and hidden places in the city. Download a copy of the map to your phone.
The trail is well-designed, with walking paths suitable for people of all ages, including strollers and wheelchairs.
The Christmas Lights Trail isn’t just a random collection of bulbs and LEDs strewn about; it’s an artful spectacle illuminating Perth’s iconic landmarks innovatively. From the glistening Yagan Square to Elizabeth Quay , you’ll find a mix of Australian and traditional Christmas icons.
What sets Perth’s Christmas Lights Trail apart are the interactive experiences like light tunnels and projections on buildings. Children—and let’s be honest, adults, too—find these installations irresistibly fun, and they offer plenty of Instagrammable moments.
Of course, no adventure is complete without some indulgence. Following the trail, you’ll find various pop-up stalls offering seasonal treats and drinks.
Christmas Lights Tour
For those seeking a more interactive experience, the Peddle Perth Christmas Lights Ride is the perfect option. Hop on your bicycle and join this merry group as they pedal through the city streets, stopping at various light locations.
This tour is a unique way to experience the dazzling displays while enjoying the company of fellow Christmas enthusiasts.
Mandurah Canals Christmas Lights & Trail
When it comes to experiencing the magic and wonder of Christmas in Perth, one destination that cannot be missed is the Mandurah Canals. Known for its mesmerising display of lights that adorn the waterfront homes, this Christmas lights trail offers a truly unforgettable experience.
As you go through the canals, you’ll be greeted by a spectacular sight of beautifully decorated houses shimmering with an array of colourful lights. The festive spirit is contagious as each homeowner goes above and beyond to create their own unique and captivating light display.
In addition to the Christmas lights trail, some activities and events add to the festive atmosphere. Hop on a boat cruise and enjoy a leisurely ride along the canals, taking the lights’ beauty from a different perspective.
Book early if you plan a Christmas Lights Cruise, as the tours sell out fast.
Wanneroo Botanical Gardens Christmas Lights
For a fun Christmas light display, head to Wanneroo Botanical Gardens for a game of mini-golf. The gardens feature enchanting light displays, illuminated pathways, and bright and colourful lights from late November to mid-January. It’s a perfect outing for the whole family, combining festive entertainment with a touch of whimsy.
Christmas Lights in the Suburbs
The magic of Christmas lights in Perth doesn’t stop in Perth CBD. The suburban neighbourhoods also put on a show, with residents brightening up their homes and gardens with beautiful displays.
Families take immense pride in decking out their homes, some beginning preparations as early as October. When dusk falls, houses come alive in a riot of colours, animated figures, and giant inflatables.
What’s beautiful about these suburban light displays is the sense of community they foster.
A few standout suburbs have earned a reputation for their grandiose displays year after year. If you’re looking for an itinerary, consider these places.
Christmas Lights North Perth
Christmas lights south perth.
- Atwell & Applecross
- Canning Vale
Timing and Planning
While you can certainly try a spontaneous drive-by, checking social media platforms or local websites for a compiled list of participating homes or streets is a good idea. People post times, themes, and special events, like Santa visits or charity collections.
A Word of Etiquette
Please be courteous. While enjoying the displays, remember that you are on private property. Stay on designated paths and avoid disturbing homeowners.
When driving, watch out for pedestrians and other drivers who may be distracted by the lights.
Many homes have donation boxes set up for various charities—a wonderful way to give back during the season of giving.
City vs. Suburbs: Two Unique Takes on Perth’s Christmas Light Extravaganza
From the well-planned, artistic installations in the heart of Perth City to the delightful and often surprising displays in the suburbs. Let’s delve into the features of each to help you decide where to spend your twinkling evenings this holiday season.
Perth City: A Curated Wonderland
In Perth City, Christmas lights are no casual affair. Months of planning go into the stunning displays, often executed by professional designers and artists. Expect everything to be larger-than-life, whether a towering Christmas tree or an interactive LED installation that changes as you approach.
The city lights attract crowds, creating a lively atmosphere that’s bustling with energy. Street performers, holiday-themed events, and pop-up markets add to the festive atmosphere, making it ideal for those who love social experiences.
Perth City’s Christmas Lights Trail is designed for accessibility. Whether you’re a visitor or a local without intimate knowledge of every city lane, you’ll find plenty of signs, maps, and apps to guide you through the sparkling maze.
Suburban Perth: A Heartfelt Tapestry
While the city lights are breathtaking, the suburban displays have heart. These are labours of love by individual families and sometimes entire neighbourhoods. You’ll see hand-painted signs, homemade decorations, and quirky themes that can be just as captivating as professional displays.
Each house or street in the suburbs often offers something unique. While one may have a snow machine and inflatable Santa, another might feature a handmade nativity scene. This diversity makes a suburban tour feel like a treasure hunt.
Don’t be surprised if the homeowners sit in their front yards, eager to chat or offer you a candy cane. This personal interaction can be a delightful aspect of the suburban Christmas light experience.

Since 1972 , families of West Australia have been looking forward to this magical event every year. Your kids will love waving to Santa and his crew and become dazzled by his beautiful sleigh. Get ready for some of the best Christmas-themed food, fun, and entertainment.
Christmas Lights Trail
Everyone’s favourite Perth Christmas tradition, the Christmas Lights Trail, returns each year to the joy of residents and visitors alike. Travel around Perth to some of the most iconic light displays in the city. Walk the entire trail or pick and choose your favourite collections and devise your own route.
Your children will love admiring the reindeer at the Perth Cultural Centre . Or, stroll hand in hand with that special someone through the constellation tunnel. While you are out and about, stop for some excellent food and drink at one of Perth’s finest restaurants and bars. Talk about Christmas shopping in style.
Samson Court, Duncraig
If you’re interested in taking your kids to see some favourite local streets, start at Samson Court. This cul-de-sac comes together to create a light display enjoyed by people for miles around.
Many of the residents create interactive displays for your kids to get up close and personal with the Christmas spirit. Plus, they are famously known for syncing their light shows to all of your favourite Christmas tunes. Don’t forget to bring some spare change, because residents usually take donations for charitable causes.
Consulate Court, Thornlie
Yet another classic residential Christmas arrangement. Consulate Court has all its residents in on the fun when it comes to displays. Several houses on this street are alight with thousands of lights, projections, inflatables, and other excellent annual decorations.
Park your car nearby and take your family for a walk around the street. This safe and exciting option is great for getting your kids in the spirit. This is another street that collects for charitable organizations, so you can feel good about your decision to celebrate with the homeowners here.
Myamba Court, Carramar
Located in another residential area, the locals put on an incredible display for the public. Bring your kids to see thousands of beautiful lights, laser shows, and their favourite characters.
These homes even provide a place to play in the snow. Your family will have a great time watching Santa through his window, checking his list, and getting ready for Christmas Eve. Of course, the ever-generous residents of Perth are just as open-handed here as anywhere else. Bring a donation and teach your kids about gifts that keep on giving.
8 Pontiac Avenue Cloverdale
If you’re looking for all of the bells and whistles all in one place when it comes to Christmas lights in Perth, look no further than 8 Pontiac Ave. The owners of this home have been creating displays for over 20 years.
It isn’t your average Christmas, however. Each year the owners incorporate a fun, modern twist on this holiday. In 2021, they held a “Merry Christmas Down Under,” where families could check out some of Australia’s most iconic wildlife, like the koala bear and kangaroo. Plus, Santa’s Disco, where visitors were able to get funky with the man in red.
Tips for Visiting Light Displays in Perth
Before taking your family out to appreciate the twinkling displays, take a few steps to get the most out of your trip. Here are a few tips for visiting light displays in Perth.
- Pack light layers. Unlike our northern hemisphere neighbours, Christmas is a summer celebration in Perth, which means the festivities are usually balmy and warm. It is a good idea, however, to pack a light layer. It can get chilly after the sun goes down.
- Be courteous to those around you. Every child deserves a chance to interact with their favourite displays, so don’t forget to take turns.
- Be respectful of the displays. It’s essential to keep in mind that many of the displays are created by the residents. The city features some of its most fabulous creations on suburban streets, which means they are personal items. Try not to touch or change any displays without consent from the owner.
- Make a day of your adventure. While it can be a lot of fun to spend an hour or two admiring the incredible displays, sometimes it’s best to devote an entire day to the occasion. Shop, eat, and play throughout the entire season in Perth. Your family will thank you.
Make Perth Your Christmas Destination
There are endless things to do and see in the city of Perth. Its strong community atmosphere reflects the joyous holiday season we all wish to experience. By bringing your family the Christmas lights in Perth, you will gain the opportunity to laugh, love, and create memories. Make the most of your season and visit one of these locations.
