Parks & Wildlife

If you're new to an activity, if you want to build your skills and knowledge, if you don't have access to the right equipment or if you just want to find other people to enjoy the activity with, why not take part in a commercial tour? Western Australia's parks offer great opportunities for exciting and more relaxed activities, guaranteed to satisfy every visitor's needs. 

Exciting experiences range from:

• easy hikes
• sheltered flat-water kayak paddles 
• hard-core rock climbs 
• black diamond mountain bike trails
• close-to-home day trips 
• once-in-a-lifetime wilderness expeditions 

A range of sightseeing and activity tours are offered in parks throughout the state by independent commercial operators who need to be licensed by the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions. The Commercial Operations Licence is designed to protect the natural and cultural values of parks and reserves for current and future generations. 

Once licensed through the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions, operators also apply to receive accreditation through the Quality Tourism Framework. They've met specific criteria ensuring that they are committed to exceeding your expectations with great customer service and the highest standards of business practice. 

So look for Quality Tourism Accredited Businesses when planning your next visit to a national park and choose a licensed operator with confidence!
