How to Spend Your Winter Holiday in Perth – The Best Holiday with Family and Friends

Australia’s capital appeals to everyone, offering romance, adventure, and a simple laidback holiday. Therefore, the place is often a favourite spot for family and friends to gather. There’s never a dull moment in the city where nature walks in Kings Park, and spending evenings by Swan Lake watching the sunset are about as alluring as dining at the alfresco cafes, and shopping at the open-air malls. This article will help you to plan the perfect winter holiday to Perth with family and friends.

 1. Plan a Captain Cook Cruise

With over thirty years of experience, Captain Cook Cruises are perfect for exploring Swan River. Cruises start from the Perth CBD and will take you across to Fremantle, a lovely port city that is equally alluring. Along the way, you will be exposed to the pristine beauty of the Swan Valley wine region, with the added thrill of dining onboard the vessel. Get on the official website and check out some of the winter cruise discounts on offer, to plan an exciting adventure with your family or friends. Here’s a quick tip, to make the most of your holiday in Perth, look for well-located 5-star hotels Perth has on offer. The most popular Perth hotels, like Pan Pacific Perth, are just minutes from iconic locations such as Kings Park, Swan River, and Cottesloe Beach! You couldn’t ask for a better location to easily zip around and enjoy the best attractions in Perth.

 2.  A Visit to the Bell Tower is a Must for Family Fun

 The iconic Bell Tower located in proximity to Swan River will turn out to be a load of fun for kids and adults young at heart. Not only do you get a chance to view the oldest bell in Australia, but you or your kids can also choose to ring an actual bell. Plus, there is a chance of sending out digital postcards right from the tower, letting your friends and family know about the amazing fun you’re enjoying at the Bell Tower. If you check the official website there may be seasonal discounts for children on offer.

 3. Be a Part of the ‘Freo’ Truffle Fest

 Freo or Fremantle deserves a visit when exploring Perth, and a pretty good excuse is the Truffle Fest. However, if your holiday does not coincide with this fair, there are plenty more other fests and reasons to visit the port city. The Fremantle Market, where most cookery festivals take place, is a lovely quarter to amble around, to people watch, and enjoy being a foodie. Again, plenty of relaxing fun is on offer when exploring the town of Freo, so make sure you are a part of it this winter. Fremantle is only half an hour from Perth city hotels, so you can easily plan that day out in the sun.

 4. Discover the Best of Rottnest Island

 Definitely Western Australia’s most popular island, Rottnest has a range of activities planned for the winter holidays. Anyone who is a history buff will love exploring the charming land home to vintage cottages and a medley of artifacts harking back to the time when the island played a key role as a station during WWII. ‘Capturing the Enemy’ is one of the exciting exhibits planned this winter, which you may want to be a part of.

 5. Visit the Fremantle Prison

 The only building on the heritage list in Western Australia, the Fremantle Prison will prove to be an exciting and eye-opening tour. Guided tours take you back in time as skilled narratives will tell you about the inmates held in there, and how risky escapes were planned by the desperate prisoners.


Enjoy your time in Perth!

How to Travel Around the Maldives – Getting About a Tropical Paradise

Since the Maldives is made up of numerous small islands, transport within the country is not like what you would usually expect when travelling to other destinations. Here, the two main modes of travel are either by seaplane or boat though you get a few other options too depending on the island. With that in mind, these are some things you should know about the various modes of local transport before you visit the Maldives.   By Seaplanes Seaplane Transportation in Maldives |Image via Pixabay One way to get about the Maldives is by way of seaplane which as you might expect, offers breathtaking views of the islands and atolls. Such means of transport are usually reserved for getting to islands and resorts that are located a great distance from the main international airport and the capital, Male. You do get domestic planes (that are not seaplanes) too, though resorts will usually offer seaplane services for direct access to the respective private island. Keep in mind, however, depen...
