Rottnest Island Perth

Rottnest is a must do if you’re visiting Perth! Rottnest is home to the Quokkas, they are so cute and actually are not bothered by humans, they don’t like to be touched or fed but you can get close enough for a Quokka selfie! There are so many beauty spots on this island. This was our first time visiting Rottnest and we decided to take Rottnest Express bus which is a hop on hop off express bus that can take you all around the island. Be aware if you’re going for the day you won’t make it to every stop so you’re better picking the top spots on the island. You can also choose to cycle around the island but if you’re anything like us, the island is very hilly and we decided to save our legs! We ate lunch at Pinky’s restaurant which is near the end stops on the bus, this is where there are a lot of Quokkas! The food was lush and so were the cocktails! Such a good day I’m planing to go back whilst I’m still in Perth. #perth #australia #rottnestisland #westernaustralia #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer #summervacation #passionpassport #quokka #perthtravel

QUOKKAS - THE HAPPIEST ANIMALS IN THE WORLD? Quokkas, apart from a tiny colony on the Western Australia mainland, they are found only at Rottnest Island, nowhere else on Earth! These tiny lovely wild animals are said to be the happiest animal in the world! It´s thanks to their wide smile they present on their faces all the time and their friendliness. Quokkas are related to wallabies - small-sized kangaroos and they live in a big colony on Rottnest Island. They have almost no fear of humans and often they will come right up to you!:) Despite their friendly behaviour, please respect the fact, they are wild animals and it´s prohibited to touch them or feed them! Firstly, it´s dangerous for quokkas to eat humans food as well as get in touch with humans bacteria. Both can be deadly for these little creatures. Secondly, although Quokkas are very friendly, they can bite if feeling threatened. Rottnest Island is the perfect little getaway from the busy life of Perth. You can do just a one day trip or you can easily spend there a few nights. Rottnest Island covers 19km² and is just 18 kilometers off the coast of Western Australia. From Perth, it takes only 25 minutes by ferry from Fremantle Port or 45 minutes by ferry from Hillarys Boat Harbour. How much does it cost to go to Rottnest Island?

Rotto is a car-free zone, so there are no cars whatsoever. You can walk, use a tourist bus or rent a bicycle and ride around. To ride around the entire island took us around 3 hours, but with stops for a dip in crystal clear waters, you will definitely need more time! #awesomepic #couplestrip #historicallandmarks #travelinspiration #unforgettableexperiences #australia #quokka #rottnestisland #awesomepic

Rottnest island

#australiatrip Rottnest Island, located off the coast of Perth, Western Australia, is famous for its stunning beaches, crystal-clear waters, and unique wildlife, including the quokka, a small marsupial known for its friendly and photogenic nature. Originally named by Dutch explorers who mistook the quokkas for rats ("Rattennest" in Dutch), the island now attracts visitors for its recreational activities like snorkeling, cycling, and exploring historical sites such as the Oliver Hill Guns and the Wadjemup Lighthouse. It's a popular destination for day trips and holidays, offering a serene escape from mainland Australia with its natural beauty and relaxed atmosphere.

Quokka Island Bus Tour Around the Island

On this trip to Perth, we arrived at Rottnest Island in Fremantle, also known as Quokka Island, where you can see quokkas up close 😍😍 We visited during June, which is winter time, and you can choose to get around by bike/electric scooter/bus/train. We chose the bus because it was quite chilly with the strong winds. The bus tour around the island is not only less tiring, but it also allows you to enjoy the scenery. The bus service is very frequent, with a bus every 20 minutes. You can grab a map; there are 13 stops where you can get off and enjoy the views. We spent a whole day mainly wanting to see the quokkas. We couldn't find them in the morning because they are wild and not always easily spotted 😂. They usually appear around 3/4 pm and are very cute, munching away. But don't feed them as it can be bad for their digestion. Fallen leaves are fine, but not foreign food. If you want to take a selfie with them, here's a tip: wait until they are eating and then snap away 😂😂. Take the photo from a low angle to capture their smile. It's recommended to take a video and then capture a still image from it, so you can get a photo of you both smiling together 👍🏻 The island also offers accommodations where you can stay for 2/3 nights. It's a place of sunshine and beaches. If you want to go into the water, it's recommended to come in the summer. Besides swimming, you can also snorkel 🤿 and take a seaplane tour. Additionally, you can see seals and dolphins from a distance 😍. If it's the right season, you might even see whales. When in Perth, you definitely have to visit this little island!

Rottnest Island: A Day in Paradise

#winhkflight #australiatrip As the ferry glided over the crystal-clear waters, I felt a sense of anticipation building inside me. I was on my way to Rottnest Island, a paradise just off the coast of Perth, Western Australia. The island was famed for its pristine beaches, abundant wildlife, and relaxed atmosphere, and I couldn't wait to experience it all. Stepping off the ferry, I was immediately struck by the island's natural beauty. The azure waters stretched out as far as the eye could see, fringed by powdery white sand beaches and rugged coastline. It was like stepping into a postcard-perfect paradise. I rented a bike and set off to explore the island, pedaling along winding trails that led me through lush forests, past tranquil bays, and up to breathtaking lookout points. Along the way, I encountered all sorts of wildlife, from playful quokkas hopping about in the underbrush to colorful birds flitting through the trees. After a morning of cycling, I decided to cool off with a swim at one of the island's secluded beaches. I found a quiet spot, slipped into the crystal-clear water, and let the gentle waves wash over me. It was pure bliss, and I felt completely at one with nature. As the day drew to a close, I made my way back to the ferry terminal, reluctantly saying goodbye to Rottnest Island. But as I boarded the ferry and watched the island recede into the distance, I knew that I would carry the memories of my day in paradise with me forever. Rottnest Island had truly captured my heart, and I couldn't wait to return and explore more of its wonders in the future.

Let's take a look at the kangaroo with the most photogenic smile.

The entire coastline of Rottnest Island is full of beautiful white sand beaches. The sea is very clear and very suitable for snorkeling. Rottnest Island is a short-term holiday destination. There are 63 beautiful white sand beaches on the island, and there is no car disturbing tranquility, so it is very popular among locals.
