Rottnest Island is one of Perth’s most loved escapes, known for clear bays, sandy beaches, cycling paths, relaxed island scenery and the famous quokkas. A Rottnest Island tour from Perth makes it easy to pair ferry transport with time to explore the island’s beaches and viewpoints.

Private visitor cars are not used for normal Rottnest Island day touring, which is part of why the island feels slower and easier to explore. Most visitors get around by bike, shuttle bus, walking, guided bus tour or arranged transfer. If your group includes young children, limited mobility or limited time, a ferry-and-bus option is usually easier than relying only on bikes.
