Twin Cities Perth Mint & River Cruise

OVERVIEW

Enjoy a remarkably complete tour of Fremantle and Perth that includes a behind-the-scenes look at the Perth Mint and a relaxing cruise on the Swan River. For an introductory look at Fremantle’s twin city of Perth, you will pause at Kings Park to take in the scenery. One of the world’s largest urban parks, it overlooks one of the widest sections of the Swan River. Continuing on, you will soon arrive at the Perth Mint, which opened in 1899. You might watch pure gold heated to molten temperatures and poured into solid bars, hear tales of the mint’s history and see the world’s largest gold coin. It tips the scale at one ton, making the coin the world’s biggest, heaviest and most valuable gold bullion. You will next cruise the lovely Swan River, which will present a different perspective of Perth’s skyline.
