Australia · BIKE TOURS IN ROTTNEST ISLAND
Consider this the list you would text a friend who lands next week: 6 bike tours in Rottnest Island that hold up on the day, each with what it costs and the thing worth knowing first.
Bike Rottnest Island from Hillarys with all-day bikes and a round-trip fast ferry, quokkas, bays, beaches, plus optional snorkel.
“Was very well organised, everything ran to time and was a smooth as could be. The crew were fab, the team at Hillary’s were really helpful.”
Ferry from Fremantle plus bike hire for a flexible Rottnest Island day, with helmet and admission, quokkas, and swims.
“Rottnest is a beautiful island with lots to see and do. Bike hire is great to get around. I’m not very fit but managed to get around ok, some of the hills were very steep but you just stop and take in the scenery. The quokkas were very cute. Had a nice lunch at one of the hotels. Some of the beaches were very busy- salmon bay was the nicest. I think $120 is a lot of money for a 30 min ferry ride however the island was beautiful and must be done while in Perth.”
Perth to Rottnest Island by fast ferry, then explore solo on an included bike. Quokkas, beaches, and a full day outdoors.
“My sister, visiting from the UK, loved the unspoiled beauty of the island and the respect ofr it's flora and fauna. She recognised the good management of the island's transport and also its waste management processes. We were very limited with time so only skimmed the surface, however the whole day, including lunch, was excellent. Just sorry we missed the museum as we got back from our bike ride after it had closed - I'm sure it would have been exceptional to experience more of the island's history.”
Round-trip ferry from Perth or Fremantle, bike and helmet hire on Rottnest Island, with optional snorkeling at The Basin.
“Turned up to the Island, had back and forth with the operator about bike sizes for kids. I provided height of my youngest, the operator didn’t put a kids bike on the boat. Adult bikes were way too big for an 8YO at 135cm. Tried to find a resolution, staff in the end didn’t care and walked away leaving us without a bike. Asked for a refund. Didn’t get it over a week later. Operator was Rottnest Express, I’d suggest using a different ferry operator and hire your bike from the hire store on the island who have much better quality bikes, much better service and seem to be cheaper.…”
Fast ferry from Hillarys plus bike hire and helmet, for a self-guided Rottnest day trip with Quokkas, beaches, and Wadjemup Lighthouse.
“We booked this tour in April 25 for our trip in November 25. Everything ran very smoothly and we had a great time cycling around the island. Our bikes were in good condition and worked as they should - we were able to do two of the cycle roRead more”
Rottnest Island day trip from Hillarys: return ferry, bike hire, locally roasted coffee, cray dog lunch, and Simmo’s ice cream.
“My first bike would not change gears, then they gave me another one and the pedal kept getting stuck and would not rotate.”
Pick a coast, a city or a kind of day.
