Overview

This full-day tour focuses on Rottnest Island’s natural environment and wildlife. The trip starts with a ferry ride from either Perth or Fremantle to the island, selected when booking. On the way, the guide provides commentary about the Swan River. Once on Rottnest Island, visitors can access the visitor center for information about the area. The tour includes a 90-minute high-speed wildlife cruise around the island, where dolphins, seals, and seabirds can be seen. The cruise passes notable spots such as The Basin, viewed from an eco boat, and Cathedral Rocks, where participants spend about 10 minutes observing colonies of New Zealand Fur Seals from close range. Guests have the option to swim in clear waters, snorkel or dive near shipwrecks and reef formations, or cycle around the island to encounter local wildlife. The tour lasts about eight hours in total. The Rottnest Island Authority fee, a local guide, all taxes and charges, the ferry, and the wildlife cruise are included. Hotel pickup and drop-off are not provided.
