Take off by seaplane from the Swan River to enjoy a scenic flight over the city and it’s beaches across to Rottnest Island.

Enjoy sparkling wine and canapes as your crew set about catching a cray for your lunch, then settle in for a seven-course seafood feast including freshly caught lobsters, oysters and crab; octopus, salmon, salads and dessert served with Western Australian wines. Enjoy the sunshine or swim off the back of the boat before cruising back to Fremantle where your specialist local food guide is waiting to escort you on an evening exploration of Fremantle’ favourite foodie finds to provide a local’s taste of the historic harbourside township.

At the end of the evening, you will be transferred back to your accommodation where we can recommend a nightcap at Post or the nearby Poole’s Temple.

Transfer back to your accommodation. Situated on 40 acres of manicured gardens and surrounded by the estate’s vineyards, there’s plenty of space to enjoy the serenity and time to enjoy an afternoon swim or hit of tennis before sitting down to a locally-sourced lakeside dinner.
