A Perfect Week in Perth & Ningaloo Reef

Perth has shaken off its sleepy reputation and emerged as one of Australia’s most vibrant, cosmopolitan cities. Billions of dollars of investment have transformed the skyline, with waterfront spots like Elizabeth Quay and Yagan Square bringing new life to the city. You'll now find rooftop bars, buzzing restaurants, riverside walks and cultural events dotted across the centre, all with that signature West Coast ease. With direct Qantas flights from London, Perth is also closer than you might think, making it an ideal starting or end point for an Aussie adventure.

Spend a few days discovering the city before heading north to the untouched coastline of Ningaloo Reef. A luxury eco-camp awaits behind the dunes, with the reef just steps from your tent. If you’re travelling between March and August, you’ll have the chance to swim with whale sharks. From August to October, humpback whales take centre stage. This week-long journey is the perfect mix of cosmopolitan flair and coastal wilderness.
