Your experience on Rottnest Island

Begin your day with a scenic ferry ride

Your journey starts in Fremantle as you board a comfortable ferry bound for Rottnest Island. Feel the fresh coastal air and enjoy ocean views along this convenient return transfer. Upon arrival, step onto an island rich with natural wonders and enthralling history.

Explore military history at Oliver Hill

Your first adventure takes you to Oliver Hill, where you’ll uncover the remarkable World War II gun battery. Guided by an expert, you’ll explore the complex, passing through authentic underground tunnels that once defended the coast. Marvel at the imposing 9.2-inch naval gun and learn how this fortification played a crucial role in Australia’s wartime defense.

Guided island bus tour

After experiencing Oliver Hill, hop aboard an air-conditioned bus for a comprehensive tour around Rottnest. Your guide will share insights into the island’s cultural sites and natural attractions as you visit highlights like Wadjemup Lighthouse, the Jeannies Lookout and Cathedral Rocks viewpoint. Along the route, spot the unique wildlife and enjoy commentary tailored to showcase the very best of Rottnest, including historic sites and rugged landscapes.

A touch of comfort: Lunch on the island

Your experience includes a light sandwich lunch at Oliver Hill. Take this time to relax, refuel and chat with fellow travellers before setting out on further adventure. Your meal comprises a fresh wrap, a tasty cookie and a bottle of water, with dietary needs accommodated on request.

Leisure and wildlife spotting

With the structured tour complete, you’ll have time to wander pristine beaches, visit tranquil salt lakes and perhaps encounter the beloved quokka—Rottnest’s famous photogenic marsupial. Keep your camera ready for seals basking on the rocks and the stunning scenery that makes this island a Western Australian treasure.

Noteworthy landmarks

A key feature is Wadjemup Lighthouse, the country’s oldest operating lighthouse, which still guides ships safely through these waters. Along with cultural spots, the tour allows you glimpses of Rottnest’s diverse landscape, from limestone cliffs to secluded coves.

All-in-one convenience

Your ticket includes not only guided tours but also your ferry ride and lunch, ensuring a smooth, enjoyable day. This well-organised experience is ideal for those seeking a blend of education, exploration and relaxation—with no logistics to worry about.
