Western Australia is Australia's largest state, covering more than one-third of the continent and offering an extraordinary range of landscapes from pristine coral reefs and red outback deserts to verdant wine regions and cosmopolitan coastal cities. Home to Perth, one of the world's most isolated yet vibrant capital cities, Western Australia rewards adventurous travellers with World Heritage sites, unique wildlife, and some of the planet's most spectacular natural wonders.

Exclusive experiences
Bespoke and once-in-a-lifetime activities.
Whale Shark Snorkelling — Ningaloo Reef
Swimming alongside the world's largest fish — the gentle whale shark up to 12 metres long — is one of the planet's most extraordinary wildlife experiences, available only from March to August at Ningaloo Reef. Licensed operators use spotter aircraft to locate whale sharks, then transfer guests to the water for guided snorkel swims beside these remarkable creatures.
Helicopter Flight — Kimberley and Horizontal Falls
Viewing the extraordinary Kimberley landscape from the air reveals its true scale and beauty — ancient gorges, the Buccaneer Archipelago, the Cockburn Range, and the Horizontal Falls (a tidal waterfall through narrow gorges) are all best appreciated from above. Day tours from Broome combine seaplane and helicopter flight with speedboat rides through the falls.
Private Winery Dinner — Margaret River
Several of Margaret River's finest wineries offer exclusive private dining experiences beyond their regular restaurant service — private cellar dinners with the winemaker, after-hours barrel tastings paired with chef's table menus, or exclusive harvest celebration dinners during February-April. Leeuwin Estate, Vasse Felix, Cullen Wines, and Moss Wood can all arrange private experiences by special request.
Private Rottnest Island Charter
Charter a private vessel from Fremantle Sailing Club or Hillarys Boat Harbour for an exclusive Rottnest Island experience — snorkelling in private bays, fishing off the island's western coast, and sunset drinks in one of the 63 bays without another visitor in sight. Luxury vessel charters include gourmet catering and professional guides.
Gibb River Road — Private 4WD Kimberley Expedition
A fully guided private expedition along the iconic Gibb River Road — 660km of unsealed track through the heart of the ancient Kimberley — with a private expedition vehicle, experienced guide, professional chef, and luxury camping equipment. Visit the gorges of Windjana, Bell, Manning, and Emma, swim in rock pools, and photograph the Kimberley's ancient boab trees and Aboriginal rock art in absolute style.
