Did you know the Indian Pacific is so-called because it connects the Pacific and Indian Oceans? Journey Beyond Rail’s iconic train is the bridge between the East to the dreamlike wonders of Western Australia. And their Advance Purchase fares are the connection between you and more savings! Read on to discover the best of the Indian Pacific’s Western Australia packages (and how to save).
Is the Indian Pacific the missing link in your Australian travels? We think so! It’s not just an A to B journey from Sydney to Perth/Boorloo, but one that connects you to the outback in ways that flying never can. And all without you having to lift a finger as everything is taken care of!
Yes, everything! From gourmet meals accompanied by fine Australian wines to turn-down services to Off Train Experiences in parts of the country few ever see. A trip aboard the Indian Pacific is a way to reconnect with the essence of travel: slow, engaging, and meaningful.
All aboard
Departing Wednesdays year-round, the Indian Pacific makes a 4,352 km crossing from Sydney to Perth (or vice versa) via Adelaide. Riding the ‘Long Straight’ – the world’s longest straight stretch of railway track – reveals Australia’s mesmerising interior landscapes at a relaxed and unhurried pace.
Life on board the Indian Pacific is one of indulgence and comfort. Choose from four cabin types – Gold, Gold Premium, Platinum, and the spacious Aurora Australis suites – with single and accessible cabins also available.
Watch Australia go by from one of three dining carriages, each serving regionally inspired meals and perfectly paired wines.
The Gold and Platinum lounges are ideal for an Australian wine or delectable cocktail – and a chance to mingle with fellow guests.
The Indian Pacific’s Off Train Experiences connect you to country with two Western Australia gems. Visit Cook in the Nullarbor and discover how this outback town went from bustling to ghostly. A nightcap and late-night bonfire under the expansive Nullarbor sky is your chance to marvel at the spectacle of our universe.
You’ll also stop at Kalgoorlie/Karkurla, one of Australia’s largest gold mines. Explore the history and stories from the Super Pit on a guided tour like no other.
Connect to the best of Western Australia
It’s not only the rail journey, of course. Journey Beyond Rail is skilled at uniting legendary train rides with some of Western Australia’s most spectacular attractions.
For east-to-west travel in 2026, choose from several Indian Pacific packages, including:
Margaret River & Rottnest Discovery
Every superhero movie shows us that when you join forces, good things happen. This is true on your extended Indian Pacific holiday, too.
As evidenced by this decadent 9-day Margaret River & Rottnest Discovery package. It’s the encore to your Indian Pacific journey, uniting you with the spoils of the Margaret River Region and the wildlife and beauty of Rottnest Island/Wadjemup.
Post-train highlights include the fine wines and a fabulous lunch at Leeuwin Estate winery, standing in awe of Boranyup Karri forest, exploring ancient caves, and revelling in the sun, sand and quokkas on Rottnest Island.
From $7,495 per person twin share.
Perth & Ningaloo Reef Escape
Connect rail and sea with the uplifting 10-day Perth and Ningaloo Reef Escape.
First, enjoy three nights in Perth to discover why people love the City of Light so much. Your stay includes a full-day Discover Rottnest tour to get that quokka selfie, explore the postcard-perfect beaches, and enjoy your included lunch.
From Perth, fly to Exmouth for an all-inclusive 3-night eco-luxury wilderness stay at Sal Salis Ningaloo Reef. Tucked in the dunes of Cape Range National Park, enjoy chef-prepared meals, snorkelling/kayaking, and guided wilderness activities, including an epic whale shark swim (March to July) or Humpback Whale Swim (August to October). It’s heavenly!
From $8,295 per person twin share.
Perth Luxury Stay
Can you really arrive in Perth on the Indian Pacific and then catch a flight back home? Well, sure, technically, yes. But is it advisable? No way! There’s so much to see and do in Australia’s sunniest capital.
For a more upgraded experience after disembarking from the Indian Pacific, head to the 5-star luxury of The Ritz-Carlton, Perth for three additional nights.
That’s not the only high-life experience on the 7-day Perth Luxury Stay package. You’ll also embark on a unique tour to harvest your own Australian South Sea Pearl. This is like a Deal or No Deal oyster game, as if the pearl is valued between $500 and $3,000, it’s yours to keep!
From $4,060 per person twin share.
Perth & Rottnest Classic City Stay
Extend your Indian Pacific vacation to a week on the Perth & Rottnest Classic City Stay.
This package is perfect for wildlife lovers, as alongside two nights in Perth, you’ll also overnight on Rottnest Island. Why perfect? Because extra time with quokkas is always appreciated, especially after the day trippers have gone home, and you have them to yourself!
From $3,725 per person twin share.
