Itinerary
Your day trip starts with the ferry ride to Rottnest Island. When you arrive, hop aboard your coach for an island sightseeing tour.
Listen to commentary from your guide about the history, culture and wildlife of the island, known for its secluded beaches and resident quokkas, small marsupials who call Rottnest home. As you circle the island, make stops at Wadjemup Lighthouse and the West End, where you can hop off to stroll down the boardwalk, admiring coastal views. Look for fur seals at Cathedral Rocks, and watch for the possible humpback whale, which might be seen from September to December.
When your tour ends at Thompson Bay, you are free to enjoy the island independently until it’s time to catch the ferry back. Perhaps rent a bike to check out one of the 63 beaches or 20 bays, go snorkeling or stand-up paddleboarding, or visit attractions like Lomas Cottage, Rottnest Island Museum, or Pilot Boathouse. (Rentals, activities and entrance fees are at your own expense.)
