In Perth for UniSport Nationals 2026? Australia's largest annual multi-sport university championships run 26 September to 3 October 2026 at venues across Perth, bringing 6,000+ student-athletes and supporters from universities in every state to town for up to a week. Competition fills the days; evenings and rest days are free. The plan in one line: book an evening team night on the Eat Drink Walk Perth bar tour, $89 a head with two drinks and grazing food included, keep a rest-day afternoon for a 2.5-hour city walk, and run a private Scavenger Hunt at $35 per person if you want proper squad bonding. Every option below starts in central Perth or Fremantle and takes groups.
Your Nationals week at a glance
Fixture times vary by sport and venue, so check yours against the official UniSport Nationals Perth program before locking anything in. These are the current public departures:
- 10:00 am, rest-day morning: Fremantle: Convicts, Culture & Street Art. 2 hours, $65 adult, morning beverage included.
- 2:00 pm, rest-day afternoon: Perth's Premier Pathways. 2.5 hours, Perth Town Hall to Yagan Square, $69 adult, finishes about 4:30 pm.
- Rest-day afternoon, whole squad: private Scavenger Hunt. $35 per person, private-only, booked by enquiry.

- Select evenings: Crimes of Perth or Crimes of Fremantle. 1.5 hours, $60, true crime.
The team night: Eat Drink Walk Perth bar tour
Book this one first. It leaves Perth Town Hall at 6:30 pm, spends about 40 minutes in each of three small bars in central Perth, and wraps up around 9:30 pm. Two drinks and grazing food are included in the $89 price; extra rounds are at your own cost. It suits the team rather than the family contingent, which makes it the natural team night at Nationals: a proper night out that still has everyone back at a reasonable hour.
Ideal timing: any evening from 26 September to 3 October. Evenings are free across the competition week, and the 9:30 pm finish keeps the next morning intact.
The rest-day afternoon: Perth's Premier Pathways
Perth's Premier Pathways is a 2.5-hour walk from Perth Town Hall to Yagan Square through the arcades, laneways and street art most visitors miss: London Court, the State Buildings, Wolf Lane. It typically departs at 2:00 pm and finishes about 4:30 pm, with a beverage included. $69 adult, $45 child, and the pace is relaxed, which suits legs that have already done a week of sport.
Ideal timing: a rest day, since the 2:00 pm departure sits inside competition hours. Travelling parents and supporters can join any day of the week.
The squad bonder: private Scavenger Hunt
Our Scavenger Hunt runs privately only: your group, your day, $35 per person. It turns the city into a team-versus-team challenge, and we can arrange groups up to 100. Send your numbers and preferred day to enquire about a private Scavenger Hunt and we will build it around your fixtures.
Ideal timing: a rest-day afternoon, the one block when the whole squad is free at once.
Two more if the week runs long
- Fremantle: Convicts, Culture & Street Art is a 2-hour morning walk, recently departing at 10:00 am. $65 adult, $45 child, morning beverage included. Ideal timing: a rest-day morning, and a good pick for parents making a day of Fremantle.
- Crimes of Perth and Crimes of Fremantle are two-hour true-crime walks at $60, led by specialist guides on selected Saturdays, 4 to 6pm. Ideal timing: a free Saturday afternoon during your week; check dates before promising the team.
Planning notes for teams and supporters
With 6,000+ athletes plus supporters in town, book ahead rather than on the day. Every walk on this page also runs privately for groups, up to 100 by arrangement, so a full club outing is one enquiry away.
Two Feet is a registered WA Companion Card affiliate: the card covers the companion's tour cost, but it does not automatically cover food, drink, tastings or other paid inclusions, which the companion pays for if they take part. Companion Card bookings are made by contacting us directly; the Companion Card guide has the detail, and our accessibility page covers pace and terrain. Keep the bar tour for the team; the daytime walks are the better fit for families.
Lock in your Nationals week
Confirm your fixtures first, then check live availability across our Perth and Fremantle walks and get the team night booked. Private hunts and big-group walks are arranged by enquiry, so the earlier you ask, the more of the week we can offer you.
FAQs
What is there to do in Perth during UniSport Nationals 2026?
Competition fills the days from 26 September to 3 October, but evenings and rest days are free. Most teams book an evening bar tour, keep a rest-day afternoon for a city or Fremantle walk, and run a private scavenger hunt for squad bonding.
Can a whole university team book a private tour?
Yes. Every walk runs privately for groups, up to 100 people by arrangement, and the Scavenger Hunt is private-only at $35 per person. Send numbers and dates through our contact page and we will come back with options.
Is the bar tour suitable for everyone travelling to Nationals?
It is an evening small-bar tour with two drinks included, so it suits the team rather than travelling families. Families and supporters with kids will get more from the daytime walks, which have $45 child rates in both Perth and Fremantle.
Do the tours clash with competition sessions?
The bar tour starts at 6:30 pm and the true-crime walks run in the evening, after the day's play. The 10:00 am Fremantle and 2:00 pm Perth city walks sit inside competition hours, so athletes should save those for rest days; supporters can join any day.
