TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Western Australia is known for its rich natural resources, culture, and complete adventure. Western Australia is a holiday destination for all types of travelers, from solo adventurers to families, offering everything from natural landscapes and Aboriginal cultural heritage to culinary delights and exciting attractions.
Tourism Western Australia recommends seven iconic destinations on every tourist's list. Starting from meeting the friendliest animals in the world, the Quokka, exploring the coastal area with clear blue sea views while trekking, witnessing the sunset, and observing the stars.
1. Rottnest Island
As quoted from Tourism Western Australia on Tuesday, June 24, 2025, this island can be reached by a 90-minute ferry ride from Perth. Rottnest Island is suitable for both family visits and adventure enthusiasts. Renowned as the habitat of the quokka, an endemic animal that always seems to be smiling, earning it the title of the friendliest animal in the world. Skydive Geronimo offers extreme activities that allow you to enjoy the landscape of Rottnest Island and the city of Perth from above.
2. The Pinnacles
The Pinnacles Desert in Nambung National Park offers a dramatic view of ancient limestone landscapes formed naturally. At night, the sky is free from light pollution, making it an ideal destination for stargazing. One tour, Lumineer Tours, combines Aboriginal astronomy stories and an amazing experience of enjoying the beauty of the sky from dusk to night.

3. Busselton Jetty
Located in Geographe Bay, Busselton Jetty has an underwater observatory, one of the six underwater observatories worldwide. Without having to dive, visitors can descend 8 meters underwater and witness underwater life with more than 300 marine species, including the largest artificial coral reef in Australia. This place is also ideal as a complement to a visit to the Margaret River area.
4. Observing whales in their natural habitat
Every year, humpback whales and blue whales migrate through the waters of Western Australia. Whale watching is a highly sought-after activity by tourists, especially since this activity can be done throughout the year in different places. Some tour agents offer tours to watch whales from boats with experienced guides who explain the behavior and habitat of whales as a form of education.
5. Rockingham
About 50 minutes from Perth, tourists can swim with wild bottlenose dolphins in Rockingham. More than 200 bottlenose dolphins are living freely in this area. In addition to watching the behavior of the dolphins, Perth Wildlife Encounters offers a natural and safe interaction experience.
6. Cape to Cape Track
For nature lovers, trekking with ocean views along the coast could be another exciting activity choice. Cape to Cape Track invites tourists to cover a distance of 135 kilometers from Cape Naturaliste in the north to Cape Leeuwin in the south. Tourists will pass through stunning landscapes such as granite cliffs, eucalyptus forests, and white sandy beaches. Tour guides will also tell local history and culture stories, including the traces of Aboriginal communities and European influence.
7. Hutt Lagoon in Kalbarri
Do not miss Hutt Lagoon, one of the most Instagrammable lakes in the world. Its main attraction is, of course, the changing pink color depending on the light and season. Tourists can explore this area on an exciting adventure by riding buggies provided by Pink Lake Buggy Tours. After that, tourists are invited to drive through shrubs and dunes, and if lucky, they can see wild animals such as kangaroos, lizards, and various bird species.
