Rottnest covers 19 square kilometres, so walking gives you only a small slice of it. Renting a bike lets you reach hidden bays, quiet viewpoints, and quokka-friendly trails at your own pace.
✔️ More freedom: A bike lets you explore Rottnest’s 63 beaches, 20 bays, coastal lookouts, and quokka spots at your own pace without relying on island buses.
✔️ Access quiet spots: Pedal to places bus tours can’t reach, like Salmon Bay, Parker Point, Jeannie’s Lookout, and the West End boardwalk.
✔️ Easy logistics: The tour includes round-trip ferry from Perth, Hillarys, or Fremantle plus pre-booked bike hire, so you skip rental queues on arrival.
✔️ Smooth scenic routes: Ride dedicated cycling paths around salt lakes, lighthouse trails, and ocean-side roads with views of turquoise water.
✔️ Great for active days: Perfect if you want a mix of beach hopping, short walks, swim stops, and photography without being tied to fixed tour schedules.
✔️ Nature immersion: Feel the breeze, hear the birds, and stop whenever you like for quokkas, seals, or a swim at bays like Little Parakeet or Little Salmon.
Climb to the island’s highest point for sweeping 360° views. The ride up is steady but rewarding, offering a great sense of Rottnest’s size, coastline, and surprising inland terrain.
Booking ahead is strongly recommended, especially on weekends and holidays, as same-day rentals can sell out quickly.
Most bike-and-ferry packages include pickup at the Thomson Bay settlement. Your bike is tagged under your name, so you can collect it immediately after disembarking.
Yes, helmets are included and mandatory on the island. You’ll collect them alongside your bike.
Most routes are beginner-friendly, but the island has rolling hills and exposed sections. Electric bikes help if you want an easier ride.
Yes, many rental operators offer child seats, tag-along bikes, and kids’ bikes. These must be booked in advance as availability is limited.
There are basic repair stands and pumps at key spots, but no full-service workshops on the trails. Carry a water bottle and ride carefully on sandy sections.
A full loop takes 3–4 hours at a relaxed pace, not counting beach stops. Shorter routes around Thomson Bay and the Basin are perfect for quick visits.
