Rottnest Express/Boat Torque Cruises Western Australia Australia

Here in Perth, we’re blessed with our very own island paradise just off the coast. Rottnest has been an affordable family holiday destination for generations of Western Australians, and it is little wonder that people from all over the world are now spreading the word about Rottnest Island‘s appeal.

Whether it’s the crystal clear waters and white sandy beaches surrounding the island, the serenity of the bike-only transport, the simple colonial-style accommodations, the unique flora and fauna including the native quokka or the hundreds of boats that dot the many bays and coves, Rottnest is both a privilege and a pleasure to have as our own.

Welcome aboard, and enjoy a day at Western Australia’s premier adventure playground, Rottnest Island. Whether you choose to cycle, walk, swim, snorkel, dive, surf, bird-watch, take a tour or just relax when you arrive, you can travel to Rottnest Island in comfort and style.
