Additional Information

Attraction Selection: Please let me know your group's preferred attraction (Fremantle Prison Tour OR WA Maritime Museum) at the time of booking so tickets can be secured in advance.
Dietary Requirements: Seafood platter menu items are subject to slight seasonal variations. Alternative non-seafood or vegetarian options can be accommodated if requested at least 48 hours prior to departure.
Child Restraints: Children aged 7 years and under are required by Western Australian law to use a child seat. Restraints will be provided free of charge—please notify us of child ages upon booking.
Customization: As this is a private tour, timings and photo stops can be adjusted on the day to suit your group's preferences.

Plan B

- Severe Coastal Weather / Heavy Rain: If outdoor walking at Kings Park or Cottesloe Beach is impacted by heavy rainfall, the itinerary will be adapted smoothly. Guests can spend more time exploring indoor botanical displays at the Kings Park Visitor Centre and enjoy an extended drive through Fremantle’s art precincts and indoor markets (Fremantle Markets open Friday–Sunday). - High-Volume/Sold-out Venue Contingencies: In the event that Fremantle Prison tour slots are unavailable due to site maintenance or maximum capacity limits, guests will receive admission to the WA Shipwrecks Museum alongside guided access to the WA Maritime Museum.
