Rottnest Island Bus & Ferry Combo

See Rottnest Island at your own pace with a flexible hop-on, hop-off bus that takes the pressure out of planning. After your ferry crossing from Hillarys, you can wander from one of 19 stops to the next, whether that means finding a quiet bay for a swim, heading up to the lighthouse, or making your way out to the dramatic West End.

This isn’t a guided tour, so you get the freedom to shape the day exactly how you want it. Bring your swimmers, keep your camera handy, and settle into island time as you move between beaches, lookouts and iconic Rottnest landmarks. Your all-day ticket lets you jump on and off as often as you like, giving you plenty of room to explore without rushing. If you want a relaxed, easy way to take in the island, this is a cracker of a way to do it — just jump aboard and enjoy the day.

Know before you go: - This is a hop-on, hop-off transport service rather than a guided tour, so the driver does not provide commentary. - Seats are not guaranteed on the Island Explorer bus, and you may need to stand if the service is busy. - During peak periods, buses can fill up quickly, so you may need to wait for the next one. - Bring sunscreen, a hat, water and your swimmers if you plan to make the most of Rottnest’s beaches and bays. - Hotel pickup is available from the Perth CBD only, so please plan accordingly if you are staying outside that area. - Check your ferry departure details in advance and allow extra time for boarding at Hillarys Boat Harbour.
