Quokka Island Bus Tour Around the Island

On this trip to Perth, we arrived at Rottnest Island in Fremantle, also known as Quokka Island, where you can see quokkas up close 😍😍 We visited during June, which is winter time, and you can choose to get around by bike/electric scooter/bus/train. We chose the bus because it was quite chilly with the strong winds. The bus tour around the island is not only less tiring, but it also allows you to enjoy the scenery. The bus service is very frequent, with a bus every 20 minutes. You can grab a map; there are 13 stops where you can get off and enjoy the views. We spent a whole day mainly wanting to see the quokkas. We couldn't find them in the morning because they are wild and not always easily spotted 😂. They usually appear around 3/4 pm and are very cute, munching away. But don't feed them as it can be bad for their digestion. Fallen leaves are fine, but not foreign food. If you want to take a selfie with them, here's a tip: wait until they are eating and then snap away 😂😂. Take the photo from a low angle to capture their smile. It's recommended to take a video and then capture a still image from it, so you can get a photo of you both smiling together 👍🏻 The island also offers accommodations where you can stay for 2/3 nights. It's a place of sunshine and beaches. If you want to go into the water, it's recommended to come in the summer. Besides swimming, you can also snorkel 🤿 and take a seaplane tour. Additionally, you can see seals and dolphins from a distance 😍. If it's the right season, you might even see whales. When in Perth, you definitely have to visit this little island!
