Rottnest Island Same Day Return from Fremantle

Set sail from Fremantle and head across the clear blue waters of the Indian Ocean to Rottnest Island, a laid-back slice of WA that feels a world away from the mainland. With no cars to worry about, the island is all about easy exploring — think white-sand beaches, calm turquoise bays and sandy paths made for wandering or biking at your own pace.

Spend your day however suits you best. Snorkel over reef-fringed water, hire a bike and cruise between bays, or simply slow down and soak up the island’s easygoing pace. Keep your eyes peeled for the famous quokkas as you go — they’re part of what makes Rottnest so memorable. When the day winds down, you’ll hop back on the ferry and return to Fremantle with salty hair, sun on your skin and a camera roll full of good memories. If you’re keen for a proper WA day out, this one’s hard to beat.

Know before you go: - Please arrive at the Fremantle ferry terminal at least 20 minutes before departure for boarding. - This is a self-guided day trip, so once you’re on the island you can spend your time however you like. - Rottnest is a car-free island, so exploring on foot or by bike is the best way to get around. - Bring sun protection, swimwear, a towel, a hat and plenty of water for the day. - If you plan to cycle or snorkel, you may want to organise hire gear in advance. - Keep an eye out for quokkas, but remember not to feed or touch the wildlife.
