About this tour
A 9-hour scenic flight and island adventure from Perth to the Abrolhos Islands. You'll fly over Western Australia's coastline and Indian Ocean before landing on East Wallaby Island, where you can swim, snorkel in shallow waters teeming with coral and marine life, or simply relax on the beach. Lunch and snacks are included, making this an all-in-one day trip that combines flight time with genuine reef exploration rather than a quick island stopover.
Highlights
- Scenic flight from Perth over coastline, bushland and Indian Ocean
- Land on East Wallaby Island for leisurely exploration
- Swim and snorkel in Turtle Bay with corals metres from shore
- See fish, crayfish and seals in shallow reef waters
- Lunch and snacks provided throughout the day
- Optional scuba diving and fishing available by request

What to expect
You'll depart Perth by scenic flight, taking in beaches, townships and cliffs along the WA coastline before crossing the Indian Ocean to East Wallaby Island. Once landed, the day is largely unstructured—you set the pace. Swim in Turtle Bay's clear waters, use snorkel equipment (provided upon request) to explore the reef a few metres out, relax on the beach, or enjoy a picnic lunch. There's time to wander the island and observe wildlife including seals.
If interested, you can arrange scuba diving or fishing with advance notice. The return flight departs later in the afternoon, giving you several hours on the island before heading back to Perth. Water and snacks are available throughout the day.

Good to know
This suits anyone wanting a full-day island escape without the hassle of a multi-day trip—families, couples, snorkellers and those keen to see coral and marine life up close. Fitness level isn't a barrier. A minimum of two people per booking is required, and infants can come along (they'll need to sit on an adult's lap during flight). Weather-dependent: the trip is subject to favourable conditions, so occasionally flights are postponed. Snorkel gear isn't automatic—you must request it in advance. Hotel transfers aren't included; you'll need your own transport to the Perth departure point. The shallow reef waters are genuinely accessible for snorkelling, but don't expect deep diving or a structured guided experience.
