2. Sandalford Wines and Restaurant Helicopter Tour
If you're looking for the ultimate date idea, get on a private helicopter to Sandalford Wines in the Swan Valley.
You'll fly over the Perth CBD and various other landmarks before landing right beside the vines, right at Sandalford, for a three-course a la carte lunch with matching wine pairings. This is a super romantic gesture and it's perfect for a special occasion.
3. Swan River Cruise Date Night
Take a sunset Swan River cruise - a classic as far as Perth date ideas are concerned. You can share drinks on the deck, enjoy the cool breeze, and watch as the city lights flicker before you.
There are also cruise options that come with casual diners including, making it a fantastic idea for a date - especially for those who love being on the water.
4. Millbrook Winery Helicopter Tour
Put the traffic behind you and take a helicopter to the Millbrook Winery in the Perth Hills. First, you'll take off in a state-of-the-art helicopter and fly over a variety of impressive landmarks, as well as countryside, on your way to Millbrook.
Land among the Jarrah forests for a long lunch, complete with estate wine. It really is the ultimate way to combine romance, gourmet food, and adventure into a single unforgettable date in Western Australia.
5. Beach Sunset and Drinks at Cottesloe or City Beach
If you and your partner like to keep the romantic things in your life relatively low key, go to City Beach or Cottesloe Beach, walk on the sand, and grab some drinks at sunset at a beachfront bar as you watch the waves rolling gently back and forth.
This is the perfect way to break up your busy week and get closer with your partner by a beautiful ocean setting.
6. Rottnest Island Helicopter Day Tour
Take your date on a trip they will never forget with a scenic flight to Rottnest Island. You'll get to fly over the Indian Ocean and see a variety of marine life in the shimmering waters below.
Then, touch down on Rottnest Island for a day tour that moves at your own pace, with the possibility to cycle, snorkel, swim, enjoy beachside cafes, and even meet the resident quokkas. This is date that combined new experiences, romance, and adventure for some of the best long lasting memories.
7. Rooftop Movies in Perth City
For cosy date nights, rooftop movies in Perth City are the way to go. You can snuggle under the open sky in a warm blanket, enjoy snacks, watch a movie, and soak in the serene atmosphere of watching a movie on a rooftop.
This is a really fun way to turn a regular movie-watching experience into something so much more, making it one of the best Perth date ideas out there. If a movie isn't quite your thing, there are plenty of rooftop bars in Perth as well, many of which are also ideal for romantic dinners.
8. Hot Air Ballooning Over the Avon Valley
If you're looking for pure romance and serenity, go for a sunrise hot air balloon ride in the Avon Valley. You and your partner can drift silently over rivers and fields alike, while taking in the sweeping views as the sun rises.
Hot air ballooning is certainly one of the most romantic things you can do as a couple, something neither of you will ever forget, especially if it's followed by a gourmet champagne breakfast.
9. Escape Room and Drinks Date Night
When it comes to high energy fun things to do on dates, booking an escape room is always a great idea. Here, you and your partner can work as a team to crack codes, solve puzzles, beat the clock, and yes, make your great escape.
After you're done the challenge, go to a nearby bar and have some drinks. Not only does this make for one of the best date nights out there, but it also allows you and your partner to form a closer bond over a shared challenge.
10. Mini Golf and Laughs
Sometimes, a regular mini golf date night is all you need for you and your partner to have a great time. Have a fun and relaxing night putting around a themed mini golf course and enjoy a little bit of friendly competition.
It's slow paced, so you can move at your own speed and chat in between each hole. This makes a mini golf date night an ideal choice for getting to know someone and spending some quality time with them.
11. Hands-On Couples Cooking Class
For couples who like hands on activities, a cooking class is the perfect date night idea. This is the kind of date that lets you spend quality time together, learn some new skills, and have some laughs too.
You'll chop, stir, and taste your creations as you follow the chef's guidance. Once you're done cooking, sit down as a couple and enjoy what you've cooked. If you and your partner love creative romantic things, then this is the activity for you.
12. Live Music and Drinks in Fremantle
Head over to Freemantle for some creative cocktails and live music. Freemantle is full of bars, restaurants, and small venues with massive atmospheres.
You can share some drinks, listen to local bands, and soak up this port city's vibrant night scene. For those who want date night to feel like a true experience, this is a great option indeed.
13. Breakfast Date by the Water
Instead of going out for dinner, switch things up and go for a riverside breakfast. There are many cafes around Elizabeth Quay and the foreshore.
Here, you'll find gourmet coffee, pancakes, and specialty breakfasts, along with great views of Perth City. Go on a morning date and it sets a gentle mood for the rest of the weekend.
If you like earlier dates or are just looking for a way to fit some romance into a busy week, this is something worth considering.
14. Romantic Dinner at Wildflower
If you want an elegant romantic dinner, then you need to go to Wildflower - COMO The Treasury. This is where you'll find degustation-style dished characterised by Western Australian producer and fresh ingredients. You'll also get to enjoy sweeping views of the Perth City skyline and the Swan River. When it comes to refined date nights, this is the epitome.
15. Boutique Hotel and Spa Night in Perth City
If you want to go somewhere without really going anywhere, book yourself and that special someone a night or weekend stay at a local boutique hotel and spa. Check in early Friday evening and enjoy some world-class spa treatments, followed by a mouthwatering dinner, and finish it off with a stay in a luxurious suite.
