I used to live near Mandurah and I never tired of the canal trips by boat, as I found them fascinating and engrossing. Seeing some of those mansions was always very interesting, however, I never booked early enough to get to see the Christmas Lights cruises and they were always booked out!

Now, more than half of this year has already gone and it is time to make your December bookings for the so that you do not miss out like I did.



These are the best, and most popular of the Mandurah cruises and they always sell out very early.



Bookings for any of the cruises listed below can be made here.

Please also read their guidelines before booking.

Experience some festive magic on board one of the famous Christmas Lights Cruise – Mandurah and Perth's best Christmas lights! Here, you can sing along to all your favourite Christmas carols and join in the Christmas cheer as you cruise through the magical canals of Mandurah.

Those houses on the canals always put on a fabulous display for all and sundry to see on these cruises. They are stunning with the lights reflecting onto the water from the region's luxury canal homes. This is always a "breathtaking" event, and you will hear the "ooohs" and "aahhs" non-stop, as it is so impressive!



This is the only place in Perth where you can cruise the waters and see Christmas lights! That is why thousands of people drive down to Mandurah to see this amazing display each year.

As these cruises sell out so quickly, I would suggest booking your Christmas Lights Cruise early to secure a ticket. Make sure you don't miss out on the best vantage point to see WA's best festive display!



This year, they will be on every night starting on 1st December 2018 to 6th January 2019. So if you want to avoid the actual Christmas rush, you can always book before or after the Christmas week. There are several different cruises available - the standard and premium cruise and you can choose which one and which boat you want below.
