Swan River Cruises

Looking for things to do in Perth? Hop on a Swan River cruise. The Swan River flows through the heart of Perth and offers stunning views of the city skyline, the lush greenery of Kings Park and Botanic Garden, and other landmarks along its banks.

There are several operators that offer Swan River cruises, with varying types and durations of cruises. If you are looking for romantic Perth date ideas or other great things to do across the city, a Swan River cruise is a great option. Book your cruise today.

What can I expect on a Perth cruise?

Perth cruises are known for offering stunning views of the city skyline and its surroundings, as well as a variety of onboard experiences. If you can’t go past great water views, Perth cruises deliver breathtaking views of the city, river, and surrounding landscapes. Take in the stunning city skyline, see the lush greenery of Kings Park and Botanic Garden, and observe local wildlife along the riverbanks. If you’re a foodie and want a more luxurious option, join a Perth dinner cruise and enjoy a meal while taking in some scenic views from the water. Some Perth cruises also offer wine-tasting experiences, where you can sample some of the finest wines produced in the region while enjoying the picturesque surroundings of the river. No matter what your preferences are, you’ll find plenty of memorable Perth cruises. Whether you’re there for a history lesson, the views, or the wildlife, a river cruise in Perth is a unique and enjoyable way to explore the city and its surrounding areas.

How much does a Perth cruise cost?

At RedBalloon, the price of a river cruise in Perth varies depending on the type of cruise and its duration. Prices can start from around $30 per person for a one-hour sightseeing cruise, while a lunch or dinner cruise can cost between $120 to $190 per person. A wine-tasting cruise can range from around $89 to $195 per person, depending on the inclusions and quality of wine offered. It’s important to note that prices may vary depending on the specific operator and the time of year.

Where do Perth cruises leave from?

Perth cruises leave from various locations along the Swan River, depending on which cruise you book. Some popular departure points include Barrack Street Jetty, Fremantle, Perth Zoo, and Claisebrook Cove. Be sure to check with your cruise operator beforehand to confirm where the cruise will be leaving from.

What should I wear on a Perth dining cruise?

A general rule of thumb when it comes to dressing for a Perth dinner cruise is to avoid being too formal or too casual. We’d recommend sticking to smart casual and wearing comfortable footwear. Since dinner cruises go into the night and you may be partially outdoors, bring a jacket to throw on in the evening. Weather can also change throughout the night, so layering up is always a good idea.

Boat cruises in Perth are a wonderful way to spend the day or evening. However, if you find yourself in another city, there are plenty of stunning cruises that you can embark on around Australia. Whether it’s a scenic or a dinner cruise, there are many options that are bound to tickle your fancy.

Christmas in Perth: Embracing the Southern Hemisphere Summer

When December arrives in Perth , it’s not snowflakes that fall from the sky but golden rays of sunshine. Embracing the heat of summer, we locals swap our snow boots for thongs (flip-flops) and trade in our gloves for sunscreen.

Christmas has a laid-back atmosphere, as families and friends gather for beachside barbecues, picnics in the park, and outdoor concerts.

It felt strange transitioning from the conventional winter Christmas to Perth’s summer celebrations when I moved here in 2001, but there are plenty of positives in having a hot festive season.

Christmas Lights & Decorations

While Perth may not experience a white Christmas, it certainly doesn’t shy away from decorating for the occasion. Perth Christmas lights dazzle, transforming streets, malls, and parks into magical wonderlands.

Follow the Christmas Lights Trail in Perth City or visit Mandurah to see the extravagant homes along the canals adorned with decorations.

Perth Christmas Markets and Shopping

Now, who doesn’t love a bit of holiday shopping and some festive markets? The Perth Christmas Markets are where you can find unique gifts and indulge in mouthwatering treats.

Beachside Christmas Celebrations

If your family loves the beach, you’re in for a real Aussie treat. Celebrating Christmas by the coast is a special experience. Head to spots like Cottesloe , Scarborough , or Mullaloo for sun, surf, and Santa sightings.

Christmas morning at the beach has become a tradition for us and hundreds of other families. Parking can be an issue, but there’s a great atmosphere on the beach with people dressed in Christmas wear and bathers!

Festive Events and Performances in Perth

Watch for events like Carols by Candlelight in Langley Park or one of the suburbs; it’s a real community favourite. And if you’re into theatre, there are usually some fantastic Christmas-themed shows around town.

With longer daylight hours, Australians enjoy the warm evenings by hosting outdoor movie nights. Blankets are spread out on lawns, and inflatable screens appear in parks. Families and neighbours gather to watch classic Christmas films under the stars, with popcorn and the balmy night air.

In Australia, the backyard pool takes centre stage during the silly season. Families throw pool parties on Christmas Day, decorating pool areas with festive ornaments and inflatables.

Family-Friendly Christmas Activities in Perth

If you’ve got the little ones with you, there are many family-friendly activities, including the Perth Christmas Pageant. Perth Zoo , Caversham Wildlife Park , and the aquariums often have special Christmas programs that combine fun and education.

Christmas Dining and Cuisine

While a hearty roast might be the norm in colder climes, Perth’s Christmas cuisine is a refreshing departure. Embracing the abundance of fresh seafood, Australians opt for prawns, cold meats, and salads for their festive meals.

The iconic pavlova, a delicate meringue dessert topped with fruits, symbolises the sweetness of the season and has become a must-have at any Australian Christmas table.

Santa Claus

Santa Claus himself gets a sun-soaked makeover in Perth. Donning board shorts and a sun hat, the Australian Santa often arrives on a surfboard instead of a sleigh. Although the traditional Father Christmas can be found at shopping malls in the lead-up to Christmas.

As environmental consciousness grows, more locals embrace eco-friendly gift-giving, opting for homemade presents and locally sourced goods.

Would you enjoy a hot Christmas or do you prefer the cold? I sometimes miss having a hot Christmas lunch in front of the fire in my Festive jumper, but the beach and cocktails by the pool are fun too.
