The island, 11km long and 4.5km at its widest point, is an A-Class reserve enjoying a semi-arid Mediterranean style climate with stunning coral reefs, crystal clear waters and unique wildlife.

Very enjoyable way to see the whole island
As the weather was 35 degrees on the day we travelled I was so pleased we had booked a full day tour, passing many tired and sunburnt bike riders I knew we had made the right choice as you would not see all the Island on a bike unless super fit. Our trip included a train ride, lunch and afternoon coach tour, all with great guides and with opportunities to stop and take pictures and see the Quokka of course, would definitely recommend this way to see as much of the Island as possible, easy to book and use your tickets well organised.

Brilliant day
We booked the bike hire and had a brilliant day exploring beautiful Rottnest. Very efficient and friendly hotel pick up, the driver Terry was great explaining what was happening and everything went smooth from pick up to drop off. My bike was good, my boyfriend had one with bearings that were just starting to go, but both perfectly fine for exploring on smooth roads with no cars. We loved it. Tip - if you have bikes, don't be first on the ferry on the way out as you'll be last to collect your bike at Rottnest and they take quite a lot of bikes. They are impressively quick at loading and unloading though. Thank you Rottnest Fast Ferries.

I don’t often write reviews, but yesterday whilst travelling over with family to meet husband participating in the big swim, I was blown away by the service I received from Sam who went above expectations in assisting me with several booking changes for my son. In what was probably one of the busiest days in the ferries year, she certainly did everything she could to help us out. Well done and thank you Sam ?
