Getting to Rottnest Island, or 'Rotto', as the locals affectionately call it, is just a short ferry ride from the mainland and a world away from city life. For such a tiny island, this car-free and carefree reserve packs a lot of pleasure into a day. On its shores, 63 stunning beaches, 20 beautiful bays, and many coral reefs and wrecks invite you to enjoy some of Australia’s finest swimming spots, snorkel trails and surf breaks. On dry land, you’ll meet the cutest mini marsupial, found only in Western Australia, the world-famous quokka, as well as many unique plant and animal species. Highlights include flights from Perth to Rottnest Island, Swan River ride, and a bicycle tour.
