🏝️ Rottnest Island – Perth’s Tropical Paradise Just a Ferry Away! 🐾🌊☀️

#perthitinerary Looking for a dreamy escape from the city? 🌿 Just hop on a 30-minute ferry from Fremantle or a 90-minute ride from Perth’s Barrack Street Jetty, and you’ll find yourself on Rottnest Island (Wadjemup) — a stunning car-free island paradise filled with quokkas, crystal-clear beaches, and adventure! 🛳️🐿️ 🚴♀️ The best way to explore the island is by bike or e-bike. Cycle along scenic trails, past cliffs and hidden coves, and soak in breathtaking views! Don’t miss swimming and snorkeling at The Basin, Pinky Beach, and Little Salmon Bay 🐠💦 📸 The island’s biggest stars? The adorable quokkas! You’ll spot them lounging near trees and paths, especially in the morning or late afternoon. Get your selfie (respectfully!) with their famous smile 🥰📷 🏛️ History lovers can visit Wadjemup Lighthouse, WWII tunnels, and Aboriginal cultural sites that share the island’s powerful stories and Indigenous heritage 🌀🔥 🍽️ There are a few cafes and food outlets, but prices can be high 💸 (think $10 for fries), so bring your own snacks and refillable water bottles. 🥪💧 🏕️ Staying overnight? Try Discovery Rottnest Island for glamping with beach views ⛺🌅 — but book early as rooms get expensive, especially during holidays! ✅ Perfect for: Families 👨👩👧👦, Couples 💑, Solo explorers 🌍 📅 Best time to visit: Spring or autumn for sunny skies and fewer crowds 🎒 What to pack: Sunscreen, hat, snacks, water, swimwear, and a big smile! Rottnest Island is Perth’s picture-perfect escape — full of charm, wildlife, and unforgettable views! #rottnest #perth #australia #island #travel #couplestrip #beachlife #staycation #naturalwonders #thingstodo #seascapes #familytravel #poolhotel #resorts #museums #myitinerary #citydaytours #afternoonteatime #localfood #buffets
