Rottnest Island
Island paradise
Back to Rottnest Island
We took the ferry out and the weather was great. Not much to do on the island other than ride bikes or swim. Limited food choices. Don't get me wrong, we had a good time and if you want to see incredible beaches this is the place for you. Very slow paced. We rode our rented bikes all around the island and took some great pictures. Plan on it taking most of a day.

Took entire family, in-laws too. Great week for all age groups 68 to 6years. Truly the place to say no worries. The fishing ,the walking, the little units, stayed in Jackson. So it cost money, everything does. We are returning to Perth again this year but won't get a trip this time to Rottie. But a marvellous place to see in my minds eye on a very gray day in Lanceshire UK or at the dentist. Thomson Bay to Fish Hook Bay loved every moment. Where else do the Rays come up to watch you fishing from the jetty. Or the daily visits from the quokkas. Heaven !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Loved the atmosphere..was a beautiful sunny (and hot) day, felt great to take a dip in the ocean, took a boat ride off the island to go snorkel, then a tour of the island to feed and admire the quokkas..unbelievable!!! A must do if you have the time

I loved visiting Rottnest. Practically all of the day spent there was fab. The only downside was all the seagulls scavanging for food at the restaurant by the dock. Apart from that - brilliant!!

The island is small, we rent bikes and got a trip through the island - it takes only 3 hours. The beaches are simply wonderful - WOW! They wasn´t overcrowded. We´ve got a beach only for our use.

After all the hype about visiting Rottnest, we were dissapointed & would not go back. Very expensive for the ferry trip. Too commercialised with all the take-aways,Dome coffee shop, etc. Far too crowded for our liking. Not easy to get around with small kids who can't cycle the distances. Perth beaches are just as beautiful & are free!

we liked the fact that there was no cars on the road. we also loved the snorkeling and diving on the island it was magic. the pelicans where also very beautiful and so were the quokas. we did find it a bit expensive though.

Upon arrival by ferry at the port you know this place is going to be great. apart from the Island bus no vehicles, just bikes or foot to get about.

This superb island is a real hideaway. Its white sandy beaches and turquiose waters makes us jump and swim. There are lots of colorfish to look at and the beach is not crowded. So you are in a safe haven. You can rent a pushbike and cycle around the island. the scenery is awesome. Yes... this is a perfect hideaway for everyone when you are visiting Perth WA Australia
