This is a must on your trip to Perth
This was an excellent day. I had the best time and met some awesome people. The team were fantastic. The lunch and wine tasting was top notch. Totally recommend this tour.

An Excellent Day on the Swan
Three of us had a wonderful day partaking in the “ Taste of The Swan Valley Tour”. From start to finish this tour was well organised and very well run by the professional crew. The commentary from Warren the captain while cruising up the river was most informative and interesting. Both the wine tasting and lunch provided on board were well prepared, delicious and plentiful. We opted for the premium beverage option on the return trip and were not disappointed. Bec and Audrey did a marvellous job all day looking after everyone on board and their singing at the end was a pleasant surprise. An excellent day and worth every cent.
Response from the operator: Thank you so very much for your great review, sounds like you had an awesome experience with us!

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Taste of the Valley Cruise from Perth: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Perth.
How much does Taste of the Valley Cruise from Perth cost?
+
Prices start at $209 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Perth usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Taste of the Valley Cruise from Perth take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Perth is not rushed.
Is Taste of the Valley Cruise from Perth worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 37 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Perth, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Taste of the Valley Cruise from Perth?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Taste of the Valley Cruise from Perth suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 18. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 7-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Taste of the Valley Cruise from Perth?
+
Around 13 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Perth can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Perth and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Taste of the Valley Cruise from Perth start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Perth within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Perth?
+
On Outty we rank every Perth experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Optus Stadium Tour, Pinnacles Desert Sunset Dinner and Stargazing Tour, VIP Swan Valley Wine Tour - Premium Small Group Wine & Gourmet Experience. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Perth?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Perth?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
