Rottnest Island Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

Rottnest Island

This is another one of my favourite places in Perth 😍 And you if you’re heading for a holiday, you must come to the Rottnest Island 😍 I would say it’s like meeting paradise in earth. The clear waters, the white sand, an incredible environment. Everything is just beautiful and perfect 🫶🏼 Cars are not allowed in the island, and you have to take a ferry from the city(the best way is to take it from Fremantle and it costs around 40 AUS dollars 2 ways) Have you ever been in Rottnest Island?

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

Rottnest island is definitely worth visiting…… It provides a variety of modes of go around the island, cycling, shuttling bus. …….. Quokkas are sooo cute and approachable. but be careful, visitors are not allowed to touch and feed them. they are quite isolated from the main island for a long time. the island provides many entertainment activities such as snorkelling, cycling and adventure boat tour.

Picture Perfect Discovery Rottnest

#wheretogo My stay at Discovery Rottnest was a memorable island escape that perfectly complemented the natural beauty and charm of Rottnest Island in #westernaustralia The eco-glamping tents offered a delightful blend of comfort and sustainability. Nestled amid native coastal flora, the accommodations allowed for a true immersion in the island's environment. Waking up to the gentle waves and beautiful sea view and the sounds of nature was a unique and peaceful experience. Exploring Rottnest Island by bike, which were conveniently available for rent, was a highlight. The proximity to the famous Pinky Beach and The Basin made it easy to enjoy the island's pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters. In summary, Discovery Rottnest is an ideal choice for travelers seeking a unique and eco-conscious island experience. It offers a harmonious blend of luxury, nature, and adventure in one of Western Australia's most beautiful settings. My stay was a perfect complement to the captivating beauty of Rottnest Island.

Staying at Rottenest Discovery Hotel 🇦🇺

#bucketlistreboot if you're looking to treat yourself to a relaxation trip you have to book this honey moon suite at rottenest discovery hotel. The honeymoon suite comes with a gorgeous bathroom, a kitchenette with everything you need, a walk in closet, a spacious deck with sitting area to watch the sunset & a bbq pit to cook. Its an understatement to say the bed is comfy because it's literally one of the best one i have laid in. A little problem we had was the seagulls does circle around your balcony if you're cooking around sunset time, but once the sunset its all good! They offer different rooms for different budget so if the honeymoon suite is too much, they have other rooms available too! Overall a great experience and stay, would definitely go back to treat ourself again 😍

Pinky Beach! 2nd LightHouse📸😎

Rottnest Island 2nd Trip🤩 I had fun! You will have, too! 💞 This is PINKY BEACH, Rottnest Island, don’t confuse with the PINK LAKE… that’s another beach with (sometime) pinky-ish color depending on your angle and time of day. Tips! 1. Get the earliest trip to get a quiet morning stroll at the forefront, lovely breakfast if you haven’t already 2. If possible, include the bike in your ticket (saves you trouble, i’m telling you!) we waisted a good 2hours and wasn’t even able to get the proper size for our height😩😝) 3. Stroll around first don’t waste ypur time for a lot of clicks but if you can squeeze 2-3min do it. 4. Plan so you know where to go unless you’re a GREAT Adventurer who likes to get lost and have fun 5. A lot of bays and beaches around to be lost in - don’t focus too much on ONE 6. If planning on going back don’t explore the island in one go 😉 check my moments for more! -don’t forget to like and tell me what you think☺️ #wandering #wanderingsoul #2023TravelWish #itsoneofthosedays #perth #westernaustralia #rottnestisland #pinkybeach #pinkybeachrottnest

Pinky Beach getaway

#weekendgetaways My recent getaway to Pinky Beach on Rottnest Island was nothing short of magical. This secluded paradise offered the perfect blend of natural beauty and tranquility. Pinky Beach itself was a pristine stretch of powdery white sand and clear, turquoise waters. It felt like stepping into a postcard, and the gentle waves made for ideal swimming conditions. The beach was surrounded by lush coastal vegetation, creating a serene and picturesque setting. Exploring the island by bicycle was a joy, and Pinky Beach's proximity to popular attractions like the Bathurst Lighthouse and the famous Wadjemup Lighthouse made it an excellent base for island adventures. Cycling along the island's scenic trails, I encountered stunning vistas and glimpses of local wildlife, including the friendly quokkas. The Pinky's Beach Club restaurant was a culinary delight. From fresh seafood to locally sourced dishes, the dining experience was exquisite. Dining alfresco with ocean views was the perfect way to end a day of exploration. But perhaps what made Pinky #beach truly special was the sunset. Watching the sun dip below the horizon, casting a warm, golden glow over the Indian Ocean, was a breathtaking spectacle. It was a moment of serenity and natural beauty that left an indelible mark on my memory. In conclusion, my getaway to Pinky Beach on Rottnest Island was a dream come true. It offered a perfect blend of natural beauty, relaxation, and adventure. Whether you're seeking a romantic escape or a serene retreat in nature, Pinky Beach delivers an unforgettable experience in one of Western #australia most beautiful settings.

Salt Lake || Herschel Lake 😎🤩

One of the 12 salt lakes in rottnest 😊😍 Interesting fact: These lakes are four times saltier than the sea😲 Plants like beaded samphire, coastal bonefruit, grey saltbush, and coastal pigface all exist close to the lakes’ edges. Be sure to stay on the marked trails, though, to make sure you don’t trample the delicate, thousand-year-old microbialites that grow on the shores. It creates a unique wetland habitat, crisscrossed with walking trails, that’s ripe for quiet exploration and reflection. #rottnestisland #2023TravelWish #summervacation #oneofthosedays #saltlake #wandering #wanderingsoul

The second lighthouse! Not the first!😂

There are two lighthouse in rottnest island, one at the center (wadjemup lighthouse) and the other near the main port just before the pinky beach (not the pink lake). 2-3 min by bike from the main front of the island. #rottnestisland #lighthouse
