Enhance the congress experience with a curated program of 12 optional NatureBoss experiences designed specifically for ASUM AU26 delegates in and around Perth.
Explore Perth and Beyond
Perth is one of Australia's most underrated cities, stunning coastline, world-class food and wine, incredible wildlife, and a warmth that's hard to match. NatureBoss has curated a collection of optional experiences to help ASUM AU26 delegates and their partners get under the skin of this remarkable place. Whether you're after a laid-back island escape, a rooftop view that'll make your jaw drop, or a sunset hike with bubbles at the end, we've got you covered.
Swan Valley Wine Tour
Western Australia's oldest wine region is just a short drive from the city, and it's ready for you. This relaxed day takes you through a selection of Swan Valley wineries and local producers for tastings of small-batch wines, artisan chocolate, preserves, and regional treats. A shared platter lunch is included, non-drinkers are well looked after, and the guides make sure there's plenty of good conversation along the way.
Rottnest Island Day
Ferries, quokkas, and white sand beaches, Rottnest Island is the kind of place that makes you wonder why you ever spend conference days indoors. Hop on a ferry from Perth or Fremantle and spend the day exploring at your own pace: wander the coastline, swim a bay or two, hire a bike, or simply find a spot and soak it all in. And yes, you will almost certainly get a quokka selfie.
Local Wildlife Park and Conservation Experience
Meet the locals, the furry, feathered, and occasionally grumpy kind. This experience takes delegates to a wildlife park or sanctuary near Perth for an up-close encounter with iconic Australian animals and the dedicated people who care for them.
Coorong Full Day Adventure Cruise & Transfer
Sometimes the best thing you can do is sit back, let someone else do the steering, and watch a beautiful city drift past. The Swan River Cruise takes delegates along one of Perth's most iconic waterways, past riverfront parks, city skylines, and foreshore precincts with onboard commentary that's genuinely interesting. Choose a scenic loop or cruise all the way to Fremantle. Either way, it's a great day.
Perth City Walking Tour
Perth is more interesting on foot than most people expect and this guided walk proves it. From heritage laneways and public art to riverfront views at Elizabeth Quay, your guide brings the city's stories to life: Whadjuk Noongar Country, colonial history, modern sustainability, and everything in between. Plenty of stops, a comfortable pace, and a great way to get your bearings in a new city.
The Pinnacles Sunset Dinner Stargazing Tour
This one is hard to put into words. Travel north of Perth to Nambung National Park, where ancient limestone formations rise from the desert floor like something from another planet. Explore as the light turns golden, enjoy a relaxed picnic-style dinner under the open sky, then look up because the stars out here are something else entirely.
Lesmurdie Falls Sunset & Sparkling Hike
Not every great experience needs a full day. This guided sunset hike through the Perth Hills leads to scenic lookouts over Lesmurdie Falls and the surrounding bushland at a comfortable pace with plenty of stops for photos and fresh air. The reward at the end? A well-earned glass of sparkling and the kind of quiet that's hard to find in a conference venue. Short, social, and genuinely lovely.
The Perth Mint Guided Tour
Gold, history, and a live molten metal pour not your average afternoon activity. The Perth Mint is one of the city's most iconic institutions, and this guided tour takes you through the story of Western Australia's gold rush era, into the heritage spaces of the Mint itself, and right up to the moment where liquid gold becomes something solid and brilliant. Weather-proof, fascinating, and very easy to fit around the conference schedule.
Sightseeing Rickshaw Tours in Perth
All the highlights of Perth, none of the effort. Hop into a pedicab-style rickshaw and let a local guide cruise you through the city's best precincts and riverfront spots with commentary, photo stops, and the occasional hidden gem thrown in. Fun, flexible, and a great option for anyone who'd rather roll than walk. No judgement here.
Optus Stadium HALO Rooftop Experience
Step out onto the roofline of one of Australia's most iconic stadiums for sweeping panoramic views of Perth and the Swan River. With safety gear and expert guides, this rooftop walk is a uniquely Perth moment, exciting and memorable without requiring a full day commitment.
Swan River Kayak Tour with Wine & Cheese
Combine gentle adventure with a relaxed social finish. Paddle along calm sections of the Swan River with a small guided group, enjoy fresh perspectives of Perth's waterways and foreshore, then wind down with a wine and cheese tasting. Instruction is provided, no experience needed.
The Premium Anzac Bell Tour at the Bell Tower
Step inside one of Perth's most iconic landmarks for a guided tour behind the scenes at the Bell Tower. Learn the stories and significance of the historic ANZAC Bell, explore interactive exhibits, watch bell ringing, and enjoy panoramic views over the Swan River and Perth skyline. Central, meaningful, and easy to schedule.
