Rottnest Island

Would you like to feel yourself under the arch of heaven? Rottnest Island is located only 20km away from Fremantle and is an ideal destination for day trips. Bring your own food or help yourself at the local shops and then head to the white sandy beaches and turquoise waters. Rottnest Island has 63 beaches and 20 bays. Surprising but true! The magnificent coral reef and shipwrecks turn the island into a heaven for snorkellers and divers. And it is worth to mention that the sea around Rottnest Island is marine sanctuary and home to a wide variety of beautiful fish. Fetch a piece of bread and hand feed them... It is an unforgetable experience!

Surfing beaches are also available on Rottnest Island. You should just know, where to search for those... Have a look at Strickland, Salmon and Stark Bays. You won't regret!

Discovering the bays and coves are also a part of the day on Rottnest Island. Guided bus tours are available throughout the island but why not to take a bike and decide your own route? This is usually the best way to explore the most hidden beauties...

By the way, have you ever met the unique icon of Rottnest Island? Or heard about it? So called Quokka... It is a small marsupial that can only be seen at Rottnest Island. Keep an eye on... Maybe you spot one!
