Tour Highlights
This tour will take you to B Shed in Fremantle and catch a ferry to the breathtakingly beautiful Rottnest Island. Located just 19 kilometres off the coast of Fremantle, the ferry journey will take 35 minutes. Upon arrival, you will have a bit of time to check out the area before boarding a bus on a 2-hour island tour with live commentary. The bus will take you to Rottnest Island’s must see attractions including Henrietta Rocks, Cathedral Rocks look-out, Wadjemup Lighthouse and Cape Vlamingh. After the tour, you will have plenty of time to explore the island on your own and just chill on any of its finest beaches and pristine bays. Some of the things to do there are:
- Climb the Wadjemup Lighthouse for the ultimate views across the whole island.
- Join one of the many free guided walking tours of the Island (http://www.rvga.asn.au/Tou_Daily_Tours.pdf)
- Hire a bike and ride around island your own pace
- Choose any of 63 beaches and 20 bays to swim and relax
- Discover the underwater snorkel trails at Little Salmon Bay and Parker Point
- Learn about the island’s history at the Rottnest Island Museum, Lomas Cottage, Pilot Boat House, Vincent Way and Salt Store.
- Encounter a variety of wildlife including birdlife, quokkas and dolphins.
- Ride the train to view the maze of tunnels beneath the WWII gun emplacement on Oliver Hill.
You can get your own lunch from a selection of restaurants and cafes, or you can bring your own lunch (lunch is not included in the tour).
