Itinerary

Your holiday itinerary (ex Perth, Western Australia)

Day 1. Perth to Rottnest Island (LD)
We collect you from home and transfer you to Fremantle Wharf, where you’ll board the ferry to Rottnest Island. On arrival, embark on a comprehensive guided tour capturing the full spectrum of the island’s landscapes and stories. Discover pristine beaches, woodlands, and salt lakes while learning about Rottnest’s maritime, colonial and military history. The Bayseeker Island Tour covers iconic landmarks including Wadjemup Lighthouse, Henrietta Rocks, Cathedral Rocks and Cape Vlamingh. After this immersive experience, enjoy the rest of your afternoon at leisure.
Overnight: The Lodge @ Wadjemup

Day 2. Exploring Rottnest – History and Heritage (BLD)
Delve into the island’s powerful past with the Grand Island Tour. Begin in Thomson Bay Settlement and step back to the 1800s, uncovering Rottnest’s history as an Aboriginal prison. Hear stories of those held in overcrowded cells and the lasting legacy of their forced labour. Continue with a scenic train ride to Oliver Hill, where you’ll enjoy a casual lunch at the island’s highest point, complete with panoramic views. The afternoon is free for you to explore or simply relax, followed by a relaxed dinner at the iconic Rottnest Pub.

Day 3. Rottnest Island to Perth (B)
This morning features two of the island’s most meaningful landmarks. We visit Bickley Battery, a walking tour of Kingstown barracks and the battery established to defend against invasion during WW2. Following this we take time to delve into the history within the walls of Wadjemup Museum. Here, powerful displays and a moving film presented by Aboriginal Elders connect you with 40,000 years of cultural history. After time for lunch at your leisure and some final exploring, we board the ferry and return to Fremantle where you’ll be transferred home.

    You will be required to embark/disembark coaches, trains and other transport via steps unaided. You must be able to carry your own luggage and walk short distances. Stairs may need to be negotiated at times. Travellers with walking aids (sticks and walkers) are welcome and those requiring accompanying assistance and/or carer may consider these holidays.

  • Moderate

    Required to walk confidently and unaided.


    Expect guided walking tours of attractions with occasional inclines and stair climbs, some long days and multiple hotel changes during the holiday. Your accommodation may require access via stairs, a short walk to reach hotel facilities and have showers over baths.  Travellers with walking sticks are welcome unless there is overnight rail or overnight cruising - please check with staff.
