Top Rottnest Island Rail Tours

Rottnest Island is car-free, and its sights are scattered across the coast, so covering them on foot in a half-day is a stretch. Ride a bus and a historic train between the main stops instead, taking in Kingstown Barracks, Oliver Hill Battery, and the Henrietta Rocks shipwreck site. Watch for quokkas along the way, stop for photos of the turquoise bays, and hear about the island's history and its Aboriginal Noongar heritage.

Experience all the highlights of Rottnest Island in comfort on this Bayseeker bus tour. Perfect for those short on time, hop off the ferry in Thomson Bay (own expense) and jump on the tour bus—one of the few vehicles on the island—to enjoy guided commentary as you whiz around. Visit spots such as the old WWII barracks, Mabel Cove, shipwrecks, pink salt lakes, and Wadjemup Lighthouse.

Rottnest Island is renowned for its beautiful beaches, military history, and dramatic coastal scenery. On this tour, zip along the coast and venture off-road on a fun Segway excursion. Visit key WWII sites such as the Kingstown Barracks and Bickley Battery gun emplacements, take in the views from the Jubilee Hill Observation Post, and stop at Paterson Beach, Henrietta Rocks, and Thompsons Bay.
