Perth is world-known for its spectacular beaches and its abundance of venues for water activities. Whether it is soaking up rays on a crystal white beach, or tackling the waves with a board of your choice, there is bound to be some water wonder designed just for you.

1. Adventure World



This is probably one of the most well-known amusement parks that host a range of activities including water ones. It has been rated as one of the best theme parks in Australia and has enough activities to entertain the family for the whole day.

Adventure World offers visitors either a day pass or a season pass. A family day pass can offset a family of 2 Adults and 2 children by $164.50. A season pass, on the other hand, can offset a family budget by $450.00, however you have unlimited entry to the park during normal standard hours. The latter would probably be the best investment if you plan to visit the park more than 4 times over the spring and summer season.

2. Kalamunda Water Park



There is no comparison when comparing Kalamunda Water Park to Adventure World. Kalamunda Water Park does not have the range of activities that Adventure World has, however it is a great place to take the family for a day of water fun.

The Kalamunda Water Park has water slides, a big lap pool and pools for little kids, spa pools, almost every type of pool for the whole family. A family water pass would offset a budget by $62.00, and you can bring a picnic basket for a real Australia barbeque on the barbeques provided by the Park.

3. The Great Escape



The Great Escape can be found at Hillary's Boat Harbour. It has a range of activities for the water and non-water enthusiasts. With 3 wild water rides to choose from, this could entertain the kids for a few hours.

There are of course, non-water activities such as trampoline, mini putt, Jungle Mountain, only to name a few. A family pass to the water activities would offset the budget by $80.00, and all non-water activities would be an add-on to this price.

4. Stand Up Paddle



Stand Up Paddle is a great water activity for most age groups. There are a range of Stand Up Paddle shops that offer lessons for those new in the sport to those seeking fitness through Stand Up Paddle.

5. Surfing the Waves



Kite Surfing, Wind Surfing and Surfing all have one thing in common. It is includes waves. While Wind Surfing and Kite Surfing love wind, you will find surfers in the waves, wind or no wind.

Surfing is an ancient art which requires strength, fitness and skill. The exhilaration of riding a wave is probably the same as going down a massive water slide.

There are a number of surfing locations around Perth shore-lines where you can pick up some great swells. Of course, you would need a board. However, there are places that hire surf boards for a small fee if you don't have one.

Kite Surfing is about the same and Kite Surfer's love windy conditions. You will probably find them in the same location as you would surfers. Scarborough Beach is a haven for Kite Surfers and Surfers alike. If you want to find out the best surf spots why not check out the 'Surf Wave' website for more details.

A family day pass to view marine life will offset the budget by $80.00. A swim with the sharks experience will offset the budget by $159.00 (if you bring your own equipment), and a Reefwalking experience will offset the budget by $20.00 (which does not include the entry fee). Whale watching is by enquiring only.
