A great day out!

Published on Feb, 2025

This is a great day out from Perth. The trip down the Swan River to Fremantle is leisurely, but the crossing from Fremantle to Rottnest is on the open sea, so rather more “interesting” (rough…!) The round island coach tour was great - air conditioning and back to the main settlement in time for lunch! Would definitely recommend.

Take the Island bus tour
