Rottnest Island

Just a short hop from the city of Perth, Rottnest Island’s compact size barely hints at the sheer diversity you’ll encounter. Offering pristine natural scenery and distinctive biodiversity, you’ll be energised by its surf breaks and lulled by its sandy bays, charmed by its resident quokkas and captivated by its colourful history.

ROTTNEST WONDER

Just 18km off the Western Australian coast, Rottnest Island has long been the go-to getaway for Perth locals. Travel coast-to-coast from Sydney to Perth on the Indian Pacific via the immense Nullarbor Plain, then launch yourself into Perth’s fabulous dining and cultural scenes. Rottnest awaits – a bicycle-friendly paradise with beaches, bays and curious quokkas.
