Rottnest Island Authority, Perth

Rottnest Island is a special place for Western Australians and a popular destination for interstate and international visitors. The semi-arid Mediterranean-style climate and indigenous flora and fauna of this island, as an A class reserve, provides the backdrop to a special holiday experience.

Some of the world’s finest beaches and bays can be found at Rottnest Island, providing a spectacular venue for snorkelling, scuba diving, surfing and swimming. Colonial streetscapes and architecture among the oldest in Australia are also a feature of this historic island.

You can visit Rottnest Island for a day trip or stay for a few days in our unique accommodation. It is a convenient journey from the mainland by ferry or by air and a popular destination for those making the journey in their own boat.
