OVERVIEW

Explore the natural charms of Rottnest Island on a guided walk and again during free time, when you may dine on your own and do most anything else you please. A ferry will bring you to Rotto as it is affectionately known. As you will discover on an introductory walk, the island is laid-back, serene and wonderfully scenic. You will learn even more on the driving tour that follows, especially with regard to the island’s history. Chances are, you will spot quokkas lazing about as the world’s largest population of these teeny marsupials live on Rotto. If you stop for a selfie with one, it is sure to be a great photo as quokkas look like they are perpetually smiling – the reason they are called “the happiest animals in the world.” Later, while exploring independently, you might relax on the beach, take a refreshing swim and enjoy the panoramic views from atop the 19th-century Wadjemup Lighthouse.
