A great day out!

Published on Feb, 2025

This is a great day out from Perth. The trip down the Swan River to Fremantle is leisurely, but the crossing from Fremantle to Rottnest is on the open sea, so rather more “interesting” (rough…!) The round island coach tour was great - air conditioning and back to the main settlement in time for lunch! Would definitely recommend.

Take the Island bus tour

Published on Feb, 2025

The bus trip around Rottness was fabulous. Eli, our tour guide was magnificent. He was very passionate about his job and extremely good at commentary. Meanwhile Con the bus driver ensured we were safe whilst he took us around the Island in comfort.
