As the ferry glides across the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean, enjoy breathtaking coastal panoramas and the soothing rhythm of the waves—a perfect prelude to a day filled with exploration and relaxation.

Upon arriving, the island’s laid-back atmosphere instantly welcomes you. With up to 7 hours at your disposal, you decide how to spend your day.

Throughout your visit, you’ll experience the island’s charm at your own pace, whether venturing off on your own or following expert commentary. As the day winds down, the return ferry offers a reflective ride back to Hillarys—leaving you with lasting memories of sunlit beaches, vibrant wildlife, and the serene allure of Rottnest Island.
