Kings Park Lookout offers one of Perth’s most iconic panoramic views, overlooking the Swan River, city skyline, and distant Darling Range. Set within a tranquil botanical garden, it's a favourite location for tourists, wedding shoots, and sunset lovers.
Drone flights are not allowed within Kings Park due to airspace restrictions and its classification as a protected area. The lookout is popular and often busy — use traditional photography only and respect posted regulations.
A wide-angle lens (16–35mm) captures the skyline and Swan River from elevated paths. Blue hour is ideal for city light contrast. A telephoto lens helps frame Perth landmarks like the Optus Stadium or Narrows Bridge. Use a tripod for dusk or long exposure light trails on Mounts Bay Road.
Best in spring (Sep–Nov) for blooming wildflowers and warm sunsets. Visit just before sunset to secure a spot at the edge of the main viewing platform.
Stay on designated paths and respect event spaces. Avoid placing tripods in walkways. Take care with gear during peak tourist times.
