Escape to Rottnest Island — a car-free paradise where turquoise bays, limestone cliffs, and the world-famous quokka await. Cycle at your own pace through pristine scenery that feels utterly untouched.
What to expect
Board a high-speed catamaran from Fremantle's B-Shed Ferry Terminal — a short stroll from the cruise berth — and arrive on Rottnest in under 30 minutes. Collect a premium hired bike and set off on the island's 26 km circuit, dipping into sheltered coves like The Basin and Little Salmon Bay, snorkelling gin-clear water over reef. Encounter the legendary quokka, one of the world's happiest-looking animals, entirely at your leisure. Return with golden-hour cocktails aboard the ferry as the sun drops over the Indian Ocean.
Good to know
Ferries depart from B-Shed, Fremantle Harbour — approximately 10 minutes' walk from the cruise terminal. First sailing typically 07:30; last return 17:30. Pre-book your preferred departure online to secure a bike; peak season (Oct–Apr) sells out fast. Allow ample time: last return ferry should be at least 2 hours before all-aboard.
