Your experience

Embark on a scenic adventure

Your day-long Rottnest Island adventure commences with a tranquil cruise from Perth or Fremantle, accompanied by live commentary that breathes life into the serene surroundings. The ferry journey offers beautiful landscapes, wildlife sightings, and a refreshing sea breeze, making it a memorable part of the Rottnest Island experience. As you near Rottnest Island, the rugged coastline of the island becomes visible. The turquoise waters surrounding the island and its white sandy beaches are breathtaking. You can see spots like Bathurst Lighthouse and Pinky Beach as the ferry approaches the island.

Cycle, explore, and marvel at Rottnest Island's wonders

Upon your arrival, pick up your bike and helmet and set off on your cycling adventure. Choose from three scenic routes tailored to your pace and curiosity. The Rotto Mini-Loop offers a breezy 4 km ride through tranquil bushland, past The Basin’s crystal-clear waters and serene salt lakes, with a stop at Vlamingh Lookout for sweeping island views. The 10 km Beaches, Lighthouses, and Lakes route guides you along stunning bays like Little Salmon Bay and Porpoise Bay, culminating in a climb up Wadjemup Lighthouse for panoramic vistas. For seasoned explorers, the 22 km Island Ride showcases the island’s most rugged and remote wonders. Pedal to the West End, where Cathedral Rocks and Cape Vlamingh provide breathtaking views of long-nosed fur seals, Australian sea lions, and even bottlenose dolphins or migrating humpback whales from August to December.

If you depart from Perth, a quick ferry whisks you up the Swan River to Rottnest Island, a tranquil escape. Buckle up for a full-day cycling adventure exploring this scenic gem!
Pack a picnic lunch and explore pristine beaches like the Basin and Parakeet Bay, then head towards the West End for stunning coastal views.
For a spectacular view over Pinky Beach, the short climb up to the Bathurst Lighthouse is well worth it to see Rottnest’s beaches stretching in every direction.
Keep your eyes peeled for turtles, playful pods of dolphins, and, if you're lucky, majestic humpback whales on their annual migration.
Fun fact: Snap a selfie with a Quokka, the friendly marsupial indigenous to Rottnest Island, dubbed 'the world's happiest animal'.
