For the best way to explore the Swan River - take to the water. Whether enjoying a ferry cruise, or by your own paddle power, experience the serenity and local wildlife from this unique perspective on the Swan River.

Many visitors to WA start their journey in the City of Belmont as it is home to the domestic and international Perth Airport. While here explore scenic river foreshore and make the most of the views by picnicking at the many riverside parks. Dress up in the latest of fashions and head trackside to find yourself caught up in the excitement of horse racing at the summer and autumn racing carnivals hosted at Ascot Racecourse.

The Swan River Perth foreshore is complimented with an adventure cycle path for bicycles, the track cirles the river from The Narrows bridge around South Perth to Burswood, past the casino at the Ascot Racecourse, then across the river to East Perth community, to the city CBD and finally to the Narrows Bridge.
