Get into action with plenty of water sports and activities on offer, plus from September to December you also have the chance to spot mighty humpback whales near the Perth coast
Hop across the water to the isolated Rottnest Island where not only will you enjoy secluded beaches and captivating flora and fauna, but also the quokka which has been labelled the “happiest animal in the world”.
