    What to expect

    • Explore at your own pace: Enjoy a self-guided experience across the island—relax on beaches, visit scenic lookouts, or spot quokkas around Thomson Bay and inland trails.

    What's not allowed

    • Carry-on items are allowed if they fit on your seat without taking extra space. For safety, luggage cannot block aisles, wheelchair spaces, or exits.

    • Alcohol, weapons, drugs, drones, pets, smoking and furniture are not allowed onboard the ferry.

    Accessibility

    • Rottnest Island is an A-Class reserve. So, it’s best to check directly with the island rangers for the most up-to-date advice on service dog access and allowances.

    Additional information
