There are no specific age restrictions for hiring snorkeling gear on Rottnest Island. However, children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult when snorkeling. It is also recommended that individuals have basic swimming skills before snorkeling.
There are several great snorkeling spots to visit on Rottnest Island. Some of the best ones include The Basin, Little Salmon Bay, Parker Point, and Parakeet Bay.

It’s important to note that some of these spots may require a bit of a walk or swim to reach, so be sure to check the conditions and plan accordingly.
