Luxury Tours Western Australia

Plan your own luxury journey

A good starting point for planning your West Australian luxury holiday is to get familiar with the distances and travel options for travelling between your chosen destinations. Some favourite touring routes are noted below along with common travel options:

• Perth – Margaret River – Albany – Perth (south-west loop) – Self-drive is simplest for the South-West self-drive route as there is no flight or train option between Margaret River and Albany. You could fly from Albany to Perth if you hire a car and return it to Albany Airport. It is a 3 hour drive from Perth to Margaret River, and 3 hours from Margaret River to Albany. Albany to Perth is 4 hours drive or 1 hour flight.
• Perth – Ningaloo – Broome – If you have the time, you can self-drive this route which will take you 27 hours in total (with Exmouth half-way between Perth and Broome). Shark Bay is worth a visit if you self-drive this route. You can fly from Perth to Exmouth and then hire a car to drive to Broome. There is no regular flight from Exmouth to Broome or Kununurra.
• Perth – Broome – Kununurra (East Kimberley) – The best option to travel to Broome and the Kimberley from Perth is to fly. There are flights from Perth to Broome, Broome to Kununurra, and back to Perth. There are also direct flights from Kununurra to the east coast of Australia if that is your next destination.
• Perth – Rottnest Island – Rottnest Express ferry is a simply and scenic way to get from Perth or Fremantle to Rottnest Island, or for a luxury experience, Rottnest by Helicopter is the way to go. There are no cars on Rottnest so once there you’ll likely want a bike to explore the island – which can be hired on arrival at the jetty - or you can use the hop-on hop-off bus that loops around the island every hour.
• Perth – Esperance – Albany – Perth – this is another great self-drive loop that is popular for those with plenty of time. The drive from Perth to Esperance is about 8 hours, and it takes 5 hours from Esperance to Albany. You can also fly from Perth to Esperance, and from Albany to Perth so it’s possible to cut out two of the long drives and just hire a car for the middle section.

Once you have an idea of where you will journey to and how you will get there, our next tip is to research the experiences and key attractions you want to see while in each spot. This will help narrow down the best accommodation options. For some ideas, head over to our Western Australia page for inspiration on the best experiences in WA and where to stay.
