Take in the views of the Indian Ocean and Perth’s beaches before seeing Rottnest Island from the sky – the best way to appreciate its beauty. Touch down and enjoy lunch and a swim at one of the island’s renowned beaches, and keep an eye out for the friendly quokkas. One-way flights to or from the island are also available, as is a fly-and-cruise option returning by ferry.

Rottnest Island, known as Wadjemup to the Whadjuk Noongar people, lies 18 km off Fremantle. It’s car-free, ringed by 63 beaches and 20 bays, and fringed by some of the clearest water on the West Australian coast.

It’s also the best place on earth to meet a quokka. In 1696, Dutch explorer Willem de Vlamingh mistook the little marsupials for large rats and named the island ‘Rotte nest’ – rat’s nest. From the air you’ll also see the island’s pink salt lakes, reefs and historic lighthouse.
