Itinerary
Day 1. Perth to Rottnest Island (D)
We collect you from home and transfer you to the Fremantle Wharf where you will board the ferry to Rottnest Island. Upon arrival, depart on a comprehensive guided tour of the island taking in the amazing fauna and flora of the island, stunning beaches, woodlands and incredible salt lakes. The stunning, pristine environment includes 63 secluded beaches, 20 bays, crystal clear water, fascinating history, the quokka and more. All the “Colours of Rottnest” can only be fully appreciated on the fully commentated Rottnest “Bayseeker Island Tour”. The tour includes all of Rottnest’s must-see locations including the Wadjemup Lighthouse, Henrietta Rocks, the majestic look-out point at the rugged Cathedral Rocks and Cape Vlamingh. All major habitats are covered on this amazing tour, including Rottnest’s cultural and historical heritage ranging from Maritime, Colonial and Military history to future developments. The rest of the afternoon is at your leisure.
Two nights: The lodge @ Wadjemup
Day 2. Exploring Rottnest – History and Heritage (BLD)
The Rottnest Island Grand Island Tour offers a powerful journey through history, culture, and stunning scenery. Begin at Thomson Bay Settlement, where you’ll step back to the 1800s and uncover the island’s history as an Aboriginal prison. Hear stories of 167 men and boys held in just 29 cells, their forced labour in building structures still standing today, and their difficult journeys home. Explore sites like the reformatory and Lomas Cottage, gaining a deeper understanding of this history. Then, take in the beauty of WA’s most stunning island with a unique train ride and a casual lunch at Oliver Hill, the island’s highest point, offering breathtaking views. The rest of the afternoon is yours to enjoy at leisure. As the day winds down, gather in the evening for a memorable dinner at Isola Bar e Ristorante, overlooking the ocean and providing the perfect setting to reflect on the day’s experiences.
Day 3. Rottnest Island to Perth (B)
Today we spend the morning touring with coastal views from the military watchtower sink in as the guide draws the crowd to attention with stories from where they stand. Their wealth of knowledge brings to life the tangible reality of the site. Then, explore the Wadjemup Museum, housed in a former granary built by Aboriginal prisoners, where displays spanning 40,000 years share stories of survival, culture and island history. With artefacts, photographs and a moving film by Aboriginal Elders, this experience leaves a lasting impression, connecting past and present in a powerful way. Following your lunch at leisure we will board the 3.00pm ferry back to Fremantle. Upon arrival we will see you safely home.
