About Rottnest Island
Located off the coast of Western Australia, Rottnest Island is a popular holiday destination known for its stunning beaches, crystal-clear waters, and unique wildlife. The official currency used on the island is the Australian Dollar. Visitors can explore the island's diverse landscapes, from rugged cliffs to sandy coves, and encounter the famous quokkas, a small marsupial native to the region.
When to visit
The best time to visit Rottnest Island is during the summer months from December to February when the weather is warm and perfect for beach activities. However, it can get crowded during this time, so consider visiting in the shoulder seasons of spring (September to November) or autumn (March to May) for fewer crowds and pleasant weather.
Getting around
Getting around Rottnest Island is easy with several transportation options available, including bicycles, buses, and the Island Explorer hop-on-hop-off bus service. Bicycles are the most popular choice for exploring the island, with rentals available near the ferry terminal. Visitors can also take guided tours or rent a car to explore at their own pace.
Traveller tips
Make sure to pack sunscreen, a hat, and plenty of water when exploring Rottnest Island, as the sun can be strong. Keep an eye out for wildlife, including quokkas and native bird species, but remember not to feed them. Plan your itinerary in advance to make the most of your time on the island, and don't forget to try the local seafood and wine at the island's restaurants and cafes.
