BEST & FUNNEST WAY TO SEE THE SWAN RIVER EVER!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our awesome Captain Stephane at Wild West Charters took our family on a thrilling, super fun tour of the Swan River and we all want to do it again!!! REALLY fancy, comfortable, and VERY fast boat (apparently it belonged to billionaire James Packer) and boy does it go like the clappers!! As our 4yr old said, “WE WENT FASTER THAN THE WIND!!” We went right up to the world famous Blue Boat Shed and saw inside it (you can only see this view from the river), the yacht club, black swans up close, and loads of other wildlife! The approach from the river back to Elizabeth Quay to dock is breathtaking, and you can’t get that view from anywhere but a boat (especially at sunset). The kids all got turns pretending to be captain which they LOVED! Really interesting facts and commentary from Captain Stephane (when we weren’t hooning around the river!) and lots of things to see! MAGNIFIQUE!!!

Had a great time! Awesome boat, great commentary from the skipper and was a great way to explore Perth!

Awesome experience. First day in Perth and you get to experience such a adrenaline rush. Host was very respectful and in the mean time very much fun. I would do this again when I am in Perth. Thank you for this wonderful time guys.

Had a great time on the tour. Definitely worth giving it a shot. Would love to come back some time. (•‿•)

Thanks Dave & Crew from Wild West Charters! Great hospitality & professional service during our 90 minute cruise yesterday! Would highly recommend this cruise! We enjoyed it immensely...was such a thrill! Haven't had that much fun in years...FABULOUS! Great time had by all!

My teenager and I went on a Wild West Charters tour from Elizabeth Quay with Dave. We had so much fun, we saw a side of Perth and the Swan River we haven't seen before. We even saw dolphins! Highly recommend booking a tour. We couldn't stop smiling the whole time on board and afterward.

Awesome high-powered boat tour on the Swan River. Excellent drivers/guides full of local knowledge and great stories. Good Perth photo ops along the way. Suitable for all ages and great fun. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

Enjoyed the 90 minute Swan River cruise with the lovely Ruby and Tyler looking after us with very informative commentary, great music and a smooth ride. Got to see some Dolphins and Ospreys as well. This boat cruise is well worth it and the boats are very comfortable and modern. Definitely a must do when in Perth.

It was a fantastic experience riding with Wild West Charters. Captains Dave and Stiv were very professional in welcoming us on board. They made sure we had enough fun through out the ride. Highly recommended. Keep entertaining us guys.

Absolutely fantastic, brilliant value for money and so much fun. The best way to experience the Swan Valley. Diesel, the dog, was a bonus addition.

Fantastic jet boat ride, with the driver making it a really fun 'twist & turns' ride. Stunning to see the lights coming on in the city at dusk. Highly recommended.

We did the 90 mins Swan River tour today and really loved it! It was great to see the whole area from the boat and get a lot of interesting information, especially as it was our first day in Australia. The boat is super modern and we even got blankets as it was a little windy today. I totally recommend this tour 👍

Had the awesome experience of going on ride. Great, friendly staff, awesome smooth yet fast trip up and down the beautiful waterway. Very family friendly, with the staff accommodating small children above and beyond. Highly recommended for all ages.

We left at 3:30 for the 3/4 hour cruise. Dave and his dog Diesel were fantastic. We had a perfect day so the views were gorgeous and Dave was great fun and excellent with the two young boys on board. And he also has a scallywag Australian humour. Great fun and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Tanya and Robert (Tex).

If you don't have the time for a half or full day to spend on the Swan River we highly recommend the 90 minute cruise. It was fun, informative and worth every cent. Thanks Dave for a great memory to add to our WA trip memory bank and for recommending Art of Seafood.. the seafood tower was delicious and a great end to our River cruise!

I went in the 45 minute Wild West Boat trip last Monday 5th Dec. It was fantastic fun, informative and a great opportunity to see the sights of Perth from the water. My camera didn't stop clicking and my friend and I didn't stop smiling. Thanks to Dave the Captain who made everyone feel so welcome. I would recommend this trip to anyone.

As I only had a half day for myself, I selected a 45 min Swan River wildlife eco-tour ($79) on 7th Dec and it turned out to be a great decision for me! A few things that I would like to highlight. - Fast jet: It could be faster than you think. - Meeting point: Berth #1 “Commercial Jetty”, Elizabeth Quay is a different point from the #1 terminal at Elizabeth Quay. I was frightened when I arrived at the wrong terminal. - 45 mins vs. 90 mins: As I didn’t try 90 mins, it is hard to compare directly. For me, a 45 mins tour was enough to enjoy the Perth city view. The explanation was fine. - Price: Before my booking, I thought that it is a bit expensive compared to some other tours, but I was satisfied. The fast boat is modern, and nice and provides comfortable seats. I recommend it.

My partner and I spare off the moment thing. But we had an awesome time. Even saw dolphins was having a downer but this made my day. Staff friendly and especially the captain awesome guy highly recommended do this if you find yourself in Perth

I was organising an outing for 11 people, including 4 guests from Czech Republic and I wanted to give them a tour of Perth from a different perspective. I was frantically looking for something and happened upon Wild West Charters page - it was exactly what I was looking for! I called Dave and even though I gave him barely any notice, he was so helpful and booked us in. We could not have asked for a better experience! The boat was immaculate and comfortable and we were taken to some of the most beautiful spots that I had never been to (and I am a Perth native) and we even saw dolphins! Dave was an excellent host, he had a great sense of humour and was very knowledgeable. He alternated between giving us a thrill as we jetted about over the water and slowing down to point of places of particular interest. I would definitely recommend Wild West Charters and I will definitely be booking with them again.

In a spur of the moment decision we found ourselves on the sunset tour. It was amazing, the city lights are beautiful. The crew are friendly and genuinely want to give you a good time.

Had a great time with my friends, nice trip around the river. I would highly recommend.

Celebrated our 4 year anniversary by doing this!!! Loved it 😍 The lady who did our charter was so nice and informative, also made the coolest turns and waves haha loved it!!! Made my heart race. Also got to choose music and free water. Provided sunscreen as well. I grew up in Perth and didn’t know I could have that much fun !!!!!

I highly recommend the 90 minute river trip on the jet boat. Great little bits of historical information and contemporary facts. Plus we saw three bottle-nosed dolphins. AND (with our consent and warning) some very exciting high speed twists and turns. Well worth it.

What an epic experience! Highly, highly recommend the sunset cruise. Absolutely stunning views of the sky line, great history lesson and color commentary from the captain. Everyone should do this once!

The best experience you could have on a boat. Great atmosphere. Dave is the best captain 👌 Honestly, My girlfriend and I have done so many touristy things since moving to Perth but this has been by far the best. Thanks again for a great day & We look forward to going back out to the waters soon!!

Absolute killer trip, great vibes and good times 😁

Dave is the best charter operator! Had the most surreal time on an awesome boat with amazing scenery and the best company. Cheers for the experience Dave 👍

We had a wonderful afternoon on the river with West Charters. A fun outing with lots of interesting information about the river and Perth. Comfortable seats provide a very relaxing ride even when you are at high speeds. Perfect mix of safety and excitement.

Most enjoyable short cruise on the river..both Beth and Dave are down to earth and friendly people..it was like being an a mate's boat rather than a tour. It is well located right next to the Perth Water Transit Station. Thanks again for a lovely afternoon.

Wild West charters… A must do in Perth for everyone!! Dave at wild west charters is a great tour guide, he’s vibrant, friendly, down to earth and clearly has a great passion for what he does, which is so refreshing. His boats are just gorgeous and extremely well kept, and an absolute joy to ride. Dave’s wealth of experience on the lake, took us straight to the Dolphins hang out, where we floated around with the majestic dolphin pod for ages, and to all of the remarkable real estate. A must do, in every city on the water, is take a tour on a fast boat, because why wouldn’t you, but particularly Perth, cause it’s so beautiful and Dave was a hoot! Thanks again!!

Absolutely brilliant. With captain Dave and cox woman Laura taking us on an incredible one and a half our journey it was one of the best things we've done since living in WA. It was beautiful for the scenery and wildlife, informative about an area we thought we knew but now know more and fun with the speedy sections and music onboard. Will definitely do again and this time bring the kids!

Absolutely amazing! We were not thinking about going but I am so glad we chose to. Such a fun experience with my sister. Lots of laughs and things to see. Even saw some dolphins 😊 Great job guys, will be bribing my kids and husband along next time.

We had an awesome experience, it was fun, engaging and interesting with dolphins, osprey, pelicans and amazing vistas! The kids loved the fast boat but learned heaps about the area too! We would recommend in a flash - 5 stars! Thank you 😊
