Rottnest Express sets sail from three handy locations in Fremantle and central Perth. Each departure point has different advantages โ itโs easy to select one to suit your needs.
Why travel with Rottnest Express?
Book a package deal including transport, tour the highlights of the island, explore by bike, snorkel under the waves or just unwind in your beachside accommodation: Rottnest Island can be as energetic or relaxed as you need it to be.
Tis the season to celebrate the newest brood of quokka joeys on Rottnest Island! ๐ป๐ฉท
If youโre heading to Rottnest Island to spot these adorable little faces, remember to admire them from a safe distance and please donโt touch or feed them๐ฟ
Giving our quokkas space to forage, rest and raise their young is one of the best ways you can help keep them happy and healthy ๐
