About

Your experience

Begin your Rottnest journey

Start your full-day adventure with a comfortable ferry ride from Perth or Fremantle. The journey along the Swan River features vibrant city scenery transitioning to sparkling blue waters as you near Rottnest Island. Enjoy fresh air on deck and listen to insightful live commentary, giving you local perspectives and fascinating facts about the surrounding area.

Arriving at Rottnest Island

As the ferry approaches, catch first glimpses of white sandy beaches, turquoise bays and the striking silhouette of Bathurst Lighthouse. Collect your bicycle and helmet once ashore, ready to discover Rottnest’s unspoiled beaches, historic sites and wildlife at your own pace. Whether you choose a short, leisurely circuit or an ambitious island-wide route, your transport is eco-friendly and offers ultimate freedom to explore.

Set your own pace

Select from three suggested routes: cruise the Mini-Loop for quiet lakes and lookouts, ride the intermediate Beaches and Lighthouses trail, or go the distance on a complete Island Ride. Stop off at tranquil spots like The Basin or Parakeet Bay for a swim in clear waters or sit beside rocky headlands to watch for turtles and dolphins. If you’re visiting in whale season, keep an eye out for migrating humpbacks offshore.

Island landmarks and photo moments

Cycle to the Bathurst Lighthouse for sweeping views over Pinky Beach and the rocky coastline. The West End route rewards intrepid riders with dramatic cliffs, Cathedral Rocks and viewing platforms where you might see fur seals, seabirds or even dolphins playing in the surf. Throughout the island, keep your camera ready for quokkas—Rottnest’s most famous residents and a highlight for every visitor.

Breaks and relaxation

Pack a picnic or stop at one of the local cafes for refreshments before continuing your ride. Take time to visit Wadjemup Lighthouse, relax at Little Salmon Bay or admire panoramic views from Vlamingh Lookout. You’ll find plenty of shady trees and beachfront spots to unwind, making the most of your day before your return ferry trip.
