48 Hours in Rottnest Island (The Ultimate Guide) | Top Things To Do Island Adventure

🏝️ Ready to meet the world’s happiest animal and explore one of Australia’s most beautiful offshore escapes? This is your ultimate travel guide to Rottnest Island (Wadjemup) — home to turquoise bays, quokka selfies, historic lighthouses, epic snorkelling, and laid-back island vibes just off the coast of Perth.

📍 In this video, we take you on a full island loop — from iconic beaches like The Basin, Little Salmon Bay and Pinky Beach, to must-see spots like Wadjemup Lighthouse, the Bathurst Lighthouse, Henrietta Rocks, Cathedral Rocks, and Cape Vlamingh. You'll snorkel vibrant reefs, cycle to more than 60 beaches and bays, watch fur seals lounging on rocky outcrops, and spot humpback whales on their migration. We’ll also explore island highlights like the Oliver Hill Tunnels and Wadjemup Museum, and show you the best ways to get around with the Quokka Hopper, Captain Hussey Train, and guided Segway tours. Plus, we highlight top island experiences with Paul’s Eco E-Bike Tours, Eco Express, Rottnest Cruises, and Charter 1.
