Rottnest - Return Rottnest Ferry from Hillarys + Island Explorer Hop On Hop Off

Set off from Hillarys Boat Harbour and make your way across the water to Rottnest Island, where clear bays, sandy tracks and relaxed island pace are waiting. With your return ferry and Island Explorer hop-on, hop-off bus ticket sorted, you can spend the day moving easily between beaches, lookouts and island villages without having to plan every step.

This is a great way to see more of Rottnest without the effort of cycling. The Island Explorer gives you the freedom to jump off where something catches your eye, then hop back on when you’re ready to keep going. Just keep in mind it’s a transfer service rather than a guided tour, so there’s no commentary on board — which leaves you free to soak up the views, feel the sea breeze and explore at your own pace. If you’re after an easy, flexible day on one of WA’s most loved islands, this is a smart way to do it.

Know before you go: - The Island Explorer is a transfer service, not a guided tour, so the driver does not provide commentary. - A seat is not always guaranteed on the bus, and during busy periods you may need to stand or wait for the next service. - Prams, beach trolleys and fishing rods must be folded before boarding the bus. - Bicycles, bike trailers and other bulky items that do not fold are not permitted on the bus. - Check in with enough time for your ferry departure from Hillarys Boat Harbour. - Bring sun protection, water and anything you’ll need for a comfortable day on the island.
