[Perth, Australia] Rottnest Island Day Trip🛳️

When I went to Perth, I definitely wanted to go there. That's Rottnest Island, an island floating offshore 🏝️ Some people stay overnight on the island because there are accommodations, but most people visit on a day trip from Perth. The most common ways to access the island are ① by high-speed boat from Perth ② by high-speed boat from Fremantle and I was planning to go by either one of them 🤔 but after doing some detailed research, I found a tour that was perfect for me, which was the high-speed boat from Hillarys that I used this time ☝️ ★Hillarys is located about 25km northwest of Perth. This tour was organized by Rottnest Fast Ferries, and I paid around 9,000 yen through a booking site 🎉 This included not only the round-trip high-speed ferry fare, but also round-trip transportation between Perth city and Hillarys and bicycle rental (including lock and helmet), making it a great price compared to other companies◎ Furthermore, since the bicycles were picked up from Hillarys, you could go sightseeing immediately after arriving on the island, which is very time-efficient🙆‍♂️ I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to tour the island by bicycle! The bus driver, reception staff, and crew on board were all very friendly and comfortable👍 The bicycles (with gears) were in good condition and functioned well, and the boat had a wide variety of seats, including indoors on the first floor, indoors on the second floor, on the rear deck, and on the rooftop deck, so you could enjoy it according to your mood✨ There was also a safety guide🦺 from the crew. If you're interested in going to Rottnest Island from the idyllic Hillarys Harbor, check it out 😉 By the way, on the way back, I talked to the driver and was dropped off at a different stop in the city center than the one originally planned, so I was able to use the time after that effectively 😊 *Daily schedule (reference)* 08:05 Depart near the hotel 🚌 22 passengers in total, visiting pick-up points in the city 09:15 Arrive at Hillarys Check in and pick up bikes 10:00 Depart from Hillarys 🛳️ 10:50 Arrive at Rottnest Island Free sightseeing on the island 16:30 Depart from Rottnest Island 🛳️ 17:15 Arrive at Hillarys Return bikes 17:30 Depart from Hillarys 🚌 After 18:10 Get off in Perth city Visiting time: May 2023 [Address (Hillarys Boat Harbour)] 86 Southside Dr, Hillarys WA 6025 Australia #overseastravel #oceania #australia #westernaustralia #perth #daytour #hillarys #fastferry #rottnestisland #rottnest #rottnestfastferries
