Overview

Take a Walk on the Dark Side...

Venture into Fremantle’s history and reveal the secret tales of a town whose tough residents created a much darker legacy.

Join us on a guided journey through Fremantle’s darkest corners, revisiting the paths of notorious criminals and uncovering the grisly secrets buried beneath the city's tranquil surface.

Travel to an era of intrigue, mysterious disappearances, cold-blooded acts, and unbelievable excuses while discovering the city’s hidden lore.

Witness the stark contrast between Fremantle’s picturesque charm and its dark, violent history, offering ample photographic opportunities.

Fremantle has a history filled with more than just the salt of the sea.

Beneath the lively port town lies a darker side, one forged in the shadows of its wharves, rough streets, and the notorious men who called it home.

...stories Fremantle thought it had sentenced to history...

Sorting, ranking, and search results

Activity name

Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
