This marked the first day of my parents first trip to Western Australia since I moved here late last year. They enjoyed themselves almost as much on the ferry down the Swan River as they did on Rottnest Island. Without this context, it would've been fair to assume that they were on a honeymoon.

The crew were very helpful. Even without collecting the wristband for the bikes they organised it for us. So we could still discover the beautiful island on bicycles. Of course one of the highlights and reasons coming here are the Quoakkas, and we didn't leave without a selfish. Definitely worth the trip.

Every team member we met today was absolutely fantastic, we had an amazing day! The volunteer guide team was great, super knowledgeable and really friendly. Along with the staff who drove the bus and train for the grand island tour! They made the trip fun, and a joy to experience! Rottnest Island is a must see when visiting Perth and it is truly a beautiful place to visit, my wife and I highly recommend the grand island tour.

Both the ferry service and the Grand tour were amazing. Island is bigger than I imagined. Saw lots of Quokkas! Both guides were great. Not crowded, easy to get around (with pram). Good facilities. Yummy boxed lunch. I am from Vic, was visiting family in WA. Would go again. Good value. Highly recommended.

Ferry departure

Check in 30 minutes early at either Perth’s Barrack Street Jetty or Fremantle’s B Shed. Settle in for a smooth crossing. Opt for Perth for the scenic Swan River cruise or Fremantle for a shorter ride.

Arrival & meet-up

Once on Rottnest, make your way to the Settlement. Meet your expert Segway guide, get fitted with a helmet and radio, and complete a short training session.

Coastal glide

Follow your guide along breezy boardwalks and quiet trails. Cruise past Thomson Bay, salt lakes, and hidden viewpoints while keeping an eye out for quokkas in the shaded pockets of bushland.

Historic highlights

Roll up to landmarks like Bathurst Lighthouse and the island’s heritage precincts. Your guide will tell you about the stories of shipwrecks, wartime history, and Rottnest’s cultural landscape.

Free time on the island

After the Segway loop ends at the Settlement, enjoy a relaxed afternoon. Swim at nearby beaches, grab lunch, or simply wander until it’s time to board your return ferry.
