Rottnest Island Oliver Hill Train & Tunnel Tour

Set out for Oliver Hill aboard a comfortable air-conditioned coach and take in Rottnest Island’s sweeping coastal views as you make your way through some of its most recognisable landmarks. This is a journey into a very different side of the island, where salt-blown scenery gives way to a story shaped by wartime defence and engineering ingenuity.

At Oliver Hill, you’ll head underground on a guided walk through the tunnel network that once supported Australia’s military protection during World War II. As you move through the cool, enclosed passages, your guide will bring the 9.2-inch guns, secret tunnels and the people who served here vividly to life. It’s a powerful way to connect with the island’s history and the role Rottnest played in guarding Western Australia’s shores.

If you’re keen to experience a side of Rottnest that goes beyond the beaches, this is a fascinating, hands-on way to do it. Book your spot and see the island’s past up close.
