Top Rottnest Island Water 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.

Enjoy half a day out on the water exploring the beautiful coastline of Rottnest Island from a catamaran. Head for some of the best marine-life filled snorkeling spots off the island, where you can get close-up views of tropical fish and keep an eye out for dolphins and rare sea lions.
