About this tour
A ferry crossing to Rottnest for cycling, snorkelling, and the guaranteed highlight -- close encounters with the island's resident quokkas.
Rottnest Island sits just off the coast of Perth/Fremantle and delivers white-sand beaches, crystal-clear bays, and a genuinely relaxed island pace -- car-free, so cycling is the main way to get around.
The quokkas are the headline act (famously friendly and photogenic), but the island's beaches and snorkelling bays are worth the trip in their own right.

- Return ferry crossing from Perth or Fremantle
