Rottnest Island Day Trip — See Quokkas
📍 Rottnest Island WA 6161
About
A day trip to Rottnest Island is one of WA's classic family adventures, reached by a short ferry from Fremantle or Perth. The car-free island is famous for its quokkas, the small and famously smiley marsupials that are easy to spot near the main settlement. Families can cycle the gentle trails, snorkel and swim in sheltered turquoise bays, and explore beaches and bushland. It works best as a full-day outing, so pack swimmers, sunscreen and water.
