Top Rottnest Island Tours by Duration

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.
