Such a great day out! This trip, if cycling, does require a good baseline of fitness to truly enjoy cycling around the island. The quokkas are also adorable!

The trip was fun. We had a good time. The only thing is: if you really want to see the whole island it’s a little „stressfully“, because there isn’t that much time. Especially if you want to take time sitting with the Quokkas and hop into the sea at least once. The bikes are basic but have everything one would need to drive around the island. Take sunscreen, a lot of water and prioritise what you want to see on the island.

Full description

Experience Rottnest Island at your leisure on a day trip with round-trip fast ferry transfers and bike hire from Perth. Admire the stunning views as you cycle the 11km long island. Depart from Perth and enjoy a scenic 1-hour ferry ride with live commentary along the Swan River to Fremantle before heading to the island. Disembark at Rottnest Island and explore independently as you cycle from the jetty. Take in the views along secluded bays and beaches and breathe the fresh air as you cycle the 11km long by 4km wide island. Visit the bays on the south to avoid the easterly winds and make your way to the Basin, Parakeet Bay, and Little Armstrong Bay on the southwest in the afternoon.

One of the best trips I have ever taken. The island is like a dream - like you’re away in the tropics but with local culture. And the quokkas! Can’t beat the quokkas!
