Rottnest Island

Just a short ferry ride from Perth, Rottnest Island (Wadjemup) is a car-free paradise with 63 stunning beaches, coral reefs, and abundant wildlife. The island’s most famous residents are the quokkas—smiling marsupials that have become social media stars. Visitors can explore the island by bike, bus, or foot, snorkel in clear waters, and learn about its rich Aboriginal and colonial history. It’s a perfect blend of relaxation, adventure, and culture.
