From Fremantle: SeaLink Rottnest Ferry and Bike Hire

1.From Fremantle: SeaLink Rottnest Ferry and Bike Hire

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 465 reviews · from $80Our pick

Take SeaLink’s same-day ferry from Fremantle to Rottnest Island, collect an adult bicycle, helmet, and lock, then ride at your own pace. You can cover the 22-kilometre island loop in roughly three to five hours, or choose shorter rides to beaches, bays, and quokka spots. Food, drinks, and children’s bikes cost extra.

“Convenient and easy to locate. Bit tiring with the normal push bike, maybe an electric bike would be a better option. Plenty to see on the island. Great experience, and loved the Quokkas!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 461 reviews · from $86

Take a self-guided day trip to Rottnest Island with return ferry transport, a hire bike, helmet, and lock. Choose Perth for a Swan River cruise or Fremantle for a faster crossing.

“Amazing day out for anyone interested in the natural beauty of WA. Our guide did an amazing job explaining everything, from the formation of sand dunes to the pinnacle desert. The stargazing experience was fantastic, too. We’ve never seen a sky so clear. Again, accompanied by explanations from the tour guide. Highly recommend.”
