Choose between a 90-minute or 45-minute tour of Rottnest Island by water, giving passengers an unforgettable up-close encounter with the island’s wild side.
Your host will guide you along Rottnest’s spectacular coastline, sharing stories and pointing out the landmarks that make the island so unique. You’ll cruise past sweeping beaches, and crystal-clear bays that can only be fully appreciated from the water. There’s also a chance to spot New Zealand fur seals, sea lions, ospreys, and other marine life enjoying the island’s waters. While sightings aren’t guaranteed, every ride offers a front row seat to Rottnest’s natural coastal beauty.
During the months of September to November, join a whale watching tour – the tour’s open‑water route places you right along the migration path, offering guaranteed sightings of humpback whales as they travel through Rottnest’s offshore waters.
