Itinerary

Elizabeth Quay

Passing by

As the cruise glides down the Swan River, we pass Elizabeth Quay, Perth’s premier vibrant waterfront destination. Marvel at the striking, modern architecture that connects the city center back to the water. You’ll catch fantastic photo opportunities of the iconic arched pedestrian bridge, the glass spire of the Bell Tower, and major public art installations like Spanda. Keep your camera ready as this lively hub is a favourite playground for native black swans and local river dolphins."
Boorloo Bridge Lighting

Passing by

Gliding along the Swan River, we pass directly beneath the breathtaking Boorloo Bridge, Perth's spectacular architectural masterpiece. Named after the traditional Noongar word for Perth, this landmark structure spans the Swan River via Heirisson Island. From your vantage point on the water, you'll get a stunning look at its unique cultural design—featuring sweeping S-curves that represent the Dreamtime Wagyl serpent and towering pylons inspired by traditional boomerangs and digging sticks. It's a fantastic, postcard-worthy photo opportunity right at the start of the journey.
Stop 3

Passing by

Cruise directly under the historic Causeway Bridge, a deeply important Perth landmark that has served as a vital river crossing since the early days of the Swan River Colony.
Matagarup Bridge

Passing by

As we cruise down the river, marvel at the striking structure of the Matagarup Bridge, one of Perth's most prominent architectural icons. Named after the traditional Whadjuk Noongar word meaning 'place where the river is only leg deep,' the bridge symbolizes a powerful unity of cultures. From your vantage point on the sun deck, you will get an incredible view of its flowing arches, designed to look like a pair of black and white swans swimming across the water. Keep an eye out for thrill-seekers climbing the arches or soaring along the 400-metre zipline right above the boat, framed beautifully by the massive backdrop of Optus Stadium!"
Optus Stadium

Passing by

Get your cameras ready as we cruise past Optus Stadium, a spectacular landmark dominating the Burswood peninsula. Officially voted the most beautiful sports and entertainment stadium in the world, its striking bronze-hued exterior is designed to mirror Western Australia's rich geology and unique landscape. From your comfortable vantage point aboard the River Bells, you’ll get an uninterrupted view of the massive stadium structure and its beautifully curated, tree-lined parklands. It offers a stunning contrast where cutting-edge modern engineering meets the natural tranquility of the Swan River."
