2 Overview
Perth to Rottnest Island Ferry Same Day Return
TIMETABLE
All passengers are advised to arrive at the terminal at least 30 minutes prior to departure. This allows enough time to park vehicles, label & load luggage/bikes, and collect your ferry tickets.

Final Boarding is 5 minutes prior to departure after which the vessel gangways are removed to ensure that the vessel departs by the stated time.
Rottnest Island
Rottnest Island sits just offshore from the city of Perth, in Western Australia. A protected nature reserve, it's famous for being the home to the quokka, a small wallabylike marsupial. White-sand beaches and secluded coves include the basin, with its shallow waters, and Thomson Bay, the main hub and ferry port.
FACTS & TIPS
- Rottnest Island is 11 km long by 4.5 km wide and takes approximately 3-5 hours to ride around the island.
- During summer, bays on the south offer protection in the mornings from the prevailing easterly winds. By afternoon, the famous Fremantle Doctor (afternoon sea breeze) comes in from the southwest making the bays to the north such as The Basin, Parakeet Bay and Little Armstrong Bay the most enjoyable.
WHEN TO VISIT
SEPTEMBER – APRIL
Most popular time to visit the island for swimming, snorkelling and other outdoor pursuits. Whales can often be spotted from September to mid-November.
MAY – AUGUST
Temperatures are still fairly mild in winter. Winter is drier and often a few degrees warmer than it is on the mainland.
The daily morning departures from Barrack Street Jetty provide an added benefit – a picturesque cruise along the majestic Swan River with commentary from experienced hosts.
