Best Sellers - Things To Do in Perth

These best selling things to do in Perth are ranked by actual booking volume, so you know these are the experiences most visitors choose. You’ll find everything from Swan River cruises to wildlife tours at Caversham Wildlife Park, reflecting what travellers commit to most. Perth’s sunshine and relatively mild seasons make outdoor activities hugely popular, especially in suburbs like Fremantle or Kings Park where people love spending time.

One thing to keep in mind is that summertime brings a rush to book river and beach tours, so if you’re planning to visit between December and February, it’s worth securing your spot early. Also, a lot of these top picks focus on enjoying Western Australia’s unique nature and laid-back vibe, which makes sense considering the strong local appeal for wildlife encounters and coastal views. Just a heads up, weekends in Elizabeth Quay and the city centre can get busy, so don’t be surprised if the tide of visitors is heavier then.

Local tip for booking

If you’re after one bit of advice, try booking any outdoor or river-based activities a few days ahead, especially in summer or around public holidays. Perth’s weather often invites last-minute plans, but the most popular tours tend to fill up fast. If you want to enjoy the water without the crowds, early mornings on the Swan River are quieter and cooler. Also, Fremantle is an easy half-hour trip and tends to have plenty of booked tours, so setting a day aside there is a solid choice if you’re ticking off best sellers.
