The boat ride is a great way to see Perth from the water and the bus tour with commentary is the best way to see the most of the island in comfort. We saw a Dugite on the road from the bus, humpback whales and incredible views. I highly recommend the tour.

Great customer service, easy to do business with. But more importantly a wonderful day of touring the island with easy transportation and good bikes for exploring and riding up and down the hills of rottnest island

The stunningly beautiful sunny day, calm seas and laid back atmosphere amde for a great experince. We hired bikes and explored ourselves, then caught the tour bus which was lead by an amazingly informed young woman scientist come tour guide. And very impressed by the beaches, bush plants and quokkas of course.

The whole experience, from checking in for the ferry ride to Rottnest island, then the bus tour and finishing with the ferry ride back into Perth. The staff were polite and knowledgeable. The whole day was relaxed and we both enjoyed it immensely.

We had an absolutely fantastic experience! Everything was very well organised, with clear instructions and excellent communication throughout. The trip felt safe and enjoyable from start to finish. Meeting the quokkas was definitely a highlight, and Salmon Bay is an incredibly beautiful beach. The pedal bike and snorkel flipper hire made exploring the island even more enjoyable. The staff were very helpful, friendly, and approachable. I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Rottnest Island!

Loved the swan river commentary, allowed us to learn a lot about the swan river. There was sufficient time for us to visit the popular places around Rottnest Island. The bus tour was great too, the guide, Mark, knew a lot about the island and had cute dad jokes.

Enjoy up-close quokka encounters at Thomson Bay and cool off in The Basin before crowds arrive.

Great commentary from your bus guide, very informative.

Kick off your Rottnest adventure from Perth with a ferry ride along the Swan River, then spend the day exploring at your own pace with optional bike hire or on a guided bus tour, spotting wildlife and historic sites.

Getting started

Your ticket includes round-trip ferry transfers from Perth, featuring a scenic Swan River cruise with commentary, and entry to Rottnest Island. Arrive 30 minutes early at Barrack Street Jetty to check in and prepare for a day of adventure, whether on a self-guided tour with cycling or a guided bus tour.

What to expect

Quokka encounters: Stroll through Thomson Bay and meet the island’s famously friendly quokkas, perfect for photos and up-close wildlife experiences.

The Basin: Swim or unwind at this natural pool, known for its clear, calm waters, best in the morning.

Wadjemup Lighthouse: Climb to the top for sweeping views of the island and surrounding ocean.

Historic sites: Visit Oliver Hill Battery with its WWII tunnels, stroll past Pinky Beach, and see Bathurst Lighthouse for breathtaking views.

Other must-see spots: See quiet coves like Parakeet Bay, explore Strickland Bay’s rock formations, or enjoy elevated views from Radar Hill and Geordie Bay.

Cycling adventures: If selected, guests can explore the island at their own pace along scenic coastal and inland routes, with helmets and locks included.

Guided option: Opt for a 1-hour 45-minute air-conditioned bus tour with live commentary, highlighting hidden corners, wildlife, and the island’s history.

What to bring

Bring along your sunglasses, sunscreen, hat, and water bottle.

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

The ferry is wheelchair accessible.

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

Practical tip: Rent a kayak or paddleboard to explore Rottnest Island’s calm bays and crystal-clear waters from Thomson Bay, making it a fun and active way to see marine life and hidden beaches.

Guests are required to pay an admission fee for Rottnest Island, which is included in your ferry fare at the time of booking. This helps support island conservation and facilities.
