Rottnest Island Tours

Rottnest Island

Rottnest Island is Western Australia’s own island retreat, with a laid-back vibe, gorgeous scenery, and some of the world’s best beaches and bays. This island’s Mediterranean-style climate and diverse flora and fauna set the stage for a memorable vacation.

It is a significant place for Western Australians and a favoured destination for interstate and international visitors, located only 19 kilometres off the coast of Fremantle. Ferries leave from Perth’s Barrack Street Jetty, Fremantle, and Hillarys Boat Harbour on a regular basis, or you can fly there in a seaplane, air taxi, or helicopter.

Ways to do tours in Rottnest Island

As there is no public transportation, there are 2 alternative modes to traverse in Rottnest Island. The first one is to hire a bike and the other is to use a hop on off tour bus. The best mode of transportation will mainly depend on what the preference is. If you are an adventure seeker, the best option is to use a bike. It will give the freedom to visit any place you like and the option to explore the island at your own pace.

If you are a family and long trips in bikes are not possible, using a tour bus is your option. Though the flexibility of using a bike is not there, you have the added advantage of a tour guide who can explain everything on your way and a tour group that you can relate with and share your experiences. And using the hop on off option, it will give you the freedom of getting off anywhere you like and enjoy the nature.
