The island of Rottnest is set just off the coastline of Western Australia and boasts an incredible selection of beaches that draw in locals and visitors throughout the hazy summer months.
Our Rottnest Island day tour gives you the chance to explore everything the island has to offer and more: take to the seas with a snorkel and discover the rich underwater world, cycle along weaving trails to breath-taking lookout points, or simply kick back and relax on one of the many pristine white sand beaches that flank the island.
The tour kicks off from Hillary’s Boat Harbour, where we’ll make our way straight to Rottnest Island just 19km off the coast of Perth. Known locally as “Rotto”, the island boasts a stunning collection of limestone reefs and quirky wildlife that’s just waiting to be discovered.
Perhaps the best-known and best-loved thing about the island though are the resident quokkas that pose for selfies with visitors. Not only that, but Rottnest is a car-free island, which provides it with a relaxed and quiet ambiance. The easiest way to get around is by bike, and you’ll have plenty of opportunities to do that on the day trip.
Once we arrive at Rottnest, you’ll have ample free time to spend as you please. You can upgrade your tour to include bike hire and get exploring the many remote spots that make the island so special. Elsewhere, you can discover hidden beaches and beautiful bays. For the more adventurous traveller, there’s the chance to explore the underwater world via snorkelling. While doing this, you can get up close and personal with the selection of native marine life that live here.
Otherwise, you can simply lay out your towel on the beach and spend the day relaxing on the sandy shores. Take a dip in the warm waters, and soak up the incredible beauty of the island. Whatever you do, don’t miss out on getting a selfie with a resident quokka!
When the day is over, we’ll hop back aboard the boat for a quick journey back to Hillary’s. As you go, soak up the last views of Rottnest Island in all its glory before we arrive back in Perth.
Rottnest Island really does have a little something for everyone. Whether you’re looking to catch some rays, try some snorkeling in the turquoise waters, or take a bike ride along rugged coastline, this day tour is for you.
