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.
