From savouring gourmet food in Swan Valley to capturing selfies with the friendly quokkas on Rottnest Island, Perth is a playground that guarantees endless fun things for everyone!
Dolphin Encounter at Rockingham
Wildlife encounters are the best! There’s something truly amazing about stepping out of our world and connecting with animals in theirs. Swimming with dolphins is something most of us only get to dream about but at the coastal village of Rockingham, just south of Perth, it’s a dream come true.
Giving a gift experience of a day-long adventure with dolphins to a friend or family member will literally have them doing a happy dance. The guided tour will take your gift recipient into calm waters off Rockingham beach in search of the local pod of almost 200 wild dolphins.
Dolphins are highly social animals and these Rockingham dolphins are super friendly - they bring the whole family along. Over the years, they’ve gotten to know the tour guides and are always up for a bit of people-playtime.
However, it’s a seasonal activity and the tours only operate between September and June. You don’t have to be a swimmer to do this experience either. If your gift recipient can’t swim that’s fine.
They will be fitted with a wetsuit that adds a lot of buoyancy and everyone is supported while they’re in the water amongst the marine life. Your gift receiver can jump in and out of the water as often as they like. This is a must do day trip adventure if ever there was one and a gift experience that will be treasured forever.
One great gift idea after another...
Another great gift idea for your wildlife lover is a discovery tour of the top spots in and around Perth City. This gift will take them on a day-long adventure where they’ll kiss kangaroos, walk history trails, talk to walls and learn about the local Indigenous culture.
They’ll wine and dine their way through lunch and finish the day on a sun-drenched sandy beach swimming and snorkelling until it’s time to go home.
In fact, this gift is many gift experiences wrapped up to make one big adventure. The sights take in Kings Park, Lotterywest Federation Walkway, Elizabeth Quay, the Bell Tower and township of Guildford, the Swan Valley, Caversham Wildlife Park and Cottesloe Beach.
Pinnacles Desert experiences Perth
Speaking of sand, it’s easy to get excited about a gift voucher to spend the day at the Pinnacles Desert. This is a spectacular and iconic gift experience that includes transfers, a day at the desert and sandboarding adventure.
It’s hard to believe that the Pinnacles Desert is only a couple of hours drive north of Perth; when you’re there it feels like you’re on the moon. But wait, there’s more!
This package actually takes your gift recipient to two national parks - Yanchep National Park where they will spend time exploring and spotting koalas and other local furry friends that make the park their home. Then onto to Nambung National Park, and the site of the Pinnacle Desert.
Here they can take a dip in the cooling waters of the Moore River and lunch beachside with the Indian Ocean lapping at the shore as well as make the most of their time having fun among the dunes.
Swan River
On the outskirts of Perth, the Swan Valley offers delicious food and wine experiences - the perfect gift for a foodie, if you have one in mind. It’s a pretty part of the region with the Swan River meandering through the valley; the life spring of the many vineyards and small producers that thrive there.
Local producers of Western Australia
Foodie gift experiences like the tours we have on Gifting Owl are enriching for many reasons. They are an opportunity to get to know the local growers, to hear their stories - which will often have you stitches - and to learn about the art and craftsmanship that goes into making high-quality wines, gourmet goodies and hand made products.
There is a range of gift packages that include guided winery tours, wine and beer tastings, chocolate, cheese and macaron tastings, gourmet lunch experiences and so the experiences go on. One thing is for sure, your gift recipient will return home with a stash of their personal favourites of the day.
Margaret River
Your gift might best be served up at Margaret River - one of Australia’s top wine producing regions. A five-hour drive south of Perth will take your gift recipient on a road trip with plenty of rewards along the way.
The coastal towns of Bunbury and Busselton are great spots to stop and explore. Busselton Jetty is a fascinating experience.
A train ride, historical museum, speciality shops and underwater observatory make for a terrific morning or afternoon of maritime-inspired exploits.
The township of Margaret River is a little further on. The leafy entrance to the town leads to straight to a high street of speciality shops done out with old-world facades.
Beyond the town are some serious wineries and fine dining restaurants that have earned international acclaim. Magnificent wild coastal lookouts and beaches, forests and caves, rolling hills and manicured gardens await your gift recipient. Your Margaret River gift experience is bound to go down a treat.
