Yes, this is just an instagramable spot. The place where it’s not really tourist attraction, it’s just an old boat house (although very well maintained) on Swan River. There’s no activities to see here. You just witness people (mostly tourists) queue in line to take pictures on the bridge leading to the boat house. There’s also only little information on history about this place on the pledge in the bridge entrance.

But as the populat spot for Instagram, it serves the purpose. The place is photogenic. The Blue Boat House fits well with the blue river and sky backdrop. You can take beautiful selfie and group photos against this backdrop.

As the place is just one spot, I would advise you to take a good walk or run to this location. You can bring car, but the nearest car park is still 700 meter away. So you still need to walk a bit. But don’t worry, Perth provide good walking/running track to the spot. Along with the good view of Swan River and its inhabitants. If you’re lucky (like us), you might see dolphins swimming next to the shore! Beautiful.

Tips: Go there early in the morning, so you don’t have to queue for very long. And don’t go there when the sun about to set, as the sun will hide behind the King’s Park hill, hence you won’t get the best lighting. The best time is when the sun is shining.. but be careful of the shadows it create!
