About this tour
This 7.5-hour Rottnest Island experience captures how locals spend their day on the island. You'll board a fast ferry with complimentary coffee, then cycle across 63 beaches and bays at your own pace using a custom route map. Lunch centres on a Cray Dog—Western Australia's lobster sandwich—at The Lane, followed by Simmo's ice cream, ranked among the world's top 15 creameries. It's a low-pressure introduction to the island's coastal rhythm.

What to expect
You'll arrive at Rottnest by speedboat, nursing a hot drink as the island comes into view. Once ashore, collect your bike and head out on one of three preset routes—these aren't structured tours but rather suggested loops you can adjust as you go. The riding is gentle, mostly flat terrain connecting bays and beaches. Around midday, stop at The Lane for a Cray Dog, a local institution that delivers fresh Western Australian lobster between bread. Afternoon cycling covers less ground as you wind down. End with Simmo's ice cream before catching the return ferry.
Good to know
Bring sunscreen and water; the island offers little shade. Bikes are basic but sturdy. The Cray Dog sells out during peak times, so arrive early. Public transport runs near departure points. Not recommended for infants due to ferry movement and lack of suitable facilities.
