Nestled amid native coastal flora, the accommodations allowed for a true immersion in the island's environment. Waking up to the gentle waves and beautiful sea view and the sounds of nature was a unique and peaceful experience.

The proximity to the famous Pinky Beach and The Basin made it easy to enjoy the island's pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters. In summary, Discovery Rottnest is an ideal choice for travelers seeking a unique and eco-conscious island experience. It offers a harmonious blend of luxury, nature, and adventure in one of Western Australia's most beautiful settings. My stay was a perfect complement to the captivating beauty of Rottnest Island.

Just a short walk from the port where the high-speed ferry arrives, there are several restaurants and other establishments lined up in the island's rustic downtown area. If you want to travel around the island, it's best to have lunch here first to use your time more efficiently~👋 So we had an early lunch! The bakery🥯 and Italian🍕 were particularly busy, but we headed straight for "The Lane Cafe". Although it's primarily a cafe, we wanted to try their specialty menu. That's CRAY DOG✨ A hamburger made with grilled crayfish (local spiny lobster) in garlic and olive oil, sandwiched together with fresh vegetables, the balance of the spiciness of the jalapeño and the mellow lime-flavored mayonnaise makes it an irresistibly delicious dish😋 Although it's only AUD24, it's full of meat and has a satisfying texture that's so plump it almost pops! I was very satisfied and ate it all in one go👍 The area around each store is full of quokkas. They come close to get some of the overflowing food, but please note that touching or feeding them is prohibited⚠️ The ocean view from the city is beautiful☺️ Visited: May 2023 [Address] Maley St, Rottnest Island WA 6161 Australia #Overseas travel #Oceania #Australia #Western Australia #Perth #Rottnest #Gourmet #Island cuisine #Local cuisine #Hamburger #Lobster #Spiny lobster #Crayfish #Craydog #Quokka #Wallaby

Getting There - Ferry from Fremantle to Rottnest and Hike all the way (35$ and up each bike for a whole day) Attractions - A lot of salt lakes, bays and quokka selfie Hotels - a few inns available Food & Restaurants - a lot at the main front It was a blast to begin the new year! #wandering #2023TravelWish #summervacation #seawander #iphonepohotography #rottnestisland

One of the 12 salt lakes in rottnest 😊😍 Interesting fact: These lakes are four times saltier than the sea😲 Plants like beaded samphire, coastal bonefruit, grey saltbush, and coastal pigface all exist close to the lakes’ edges. Be sure to stay on the marked trails, though, to make sure you don’t trample the delicate, thousand-year-old microbialites that grow on the shores. It creates a unique wetland habitat, crisscrossed with walking trails, that’s ripe for quiet exploration and reflection. #rottnestisland #2023TravelWish #summervacation #oneofthosedays #saltlake #wandering #wanderingsoul

There are two lighthouse in rottnest island, one at the center (wadjemup lighthouse) and the other near the main port just before the pinky beach (not the pink lake). 2-3 min by bike from the main front of the island. #rottnestisland #lighthouse

Rottnest Island 2nd Trip🤩 I had fun! You will have, too! 💞 This is PINKY BEACH, Rottnest Island, don’t confuse with the PINK LAKE… that’s another beach with (sometime) pinky-ish color depending on your angle and time of day. Tips! 1. Get the earliest trip to get a quiet morning stroll at the forefront, lovely breakfast if you haven’t already 2. If possible, include the bike in your ticket (saves you trouble, i’m telling you!) we waisted a good 2hours and wasn’t even able to get the proper size for our height😩😝) 3. Stroll around first don’t waste ypur time for a lot of clicks but if you can squeeze 2-3min do it. 4. Plan so you know where to go unless you’re a GREAT Adventurer who likes to get lost and have fun 5. A lot of bays and beaches around to be lost in - don’t focus too much on ONE 6. If planning on going back don’t explore the island in one go 😉 check my moments for more! -don’t forget to like and tell me what you think☺️ #wandering #wanderingsoul #2023TravelWish #itsoneofthosedays #perth #westernaustralia #rottnestisland #pinkybeach #pinkybeachrottnest

#bucketlistreboot if you're looking to treat yourself to a relaxation trip you have to book this honey moon suite at rottenest discovery hotel. The honeymoon suite comes with a gorgeous bathroom, a kitchenette with everything you need, a walk in closet, a spacious deck with sitting area to watch the sunset & a bbq pit to cook. Its an understatement to say the bed is comfy because it's literally one of the best one i have laid in. A little problem we had was the seagulls does circle around your balcony if you're cooking around sunset time, but once the sunset its all good! They offer different rooms for different budget so if the honeymoon suite is too much, they have other rooms available too! Overall a great experience and stay, would definitely go back to treat ourself again 😍

#bucketlistreboot THIS IS A MUST DO when you're in Perth Western Australia. Visiting rottenest island had to be one of our main highlight when we were there! 😍 Visit the beautiful beaches with the gorgeous view of the Indian ocean, snap a selfie with the little quokka roaming the island or visit one of the many restaurant along the coast & beaches of the island. We rented a bike to cycled around the island which was super fun, if you think cycling might be too tired you can rent a electrical bike like we did that made exploring so much easier as we had the energy to appreciate the view! Or you can ditch cycling & go with the tram that circles the island too! 😉

The best way to visit Rottnest Island, must be to rent a bicycle 🚴‍♀️ to travel around the island, pedal 🚴‍♀️, see the place you like, can stop at any time, very cool, may have unexpected surprises at any time. I discovered this attraction Army Jetty when pedaling at will, initially attracted by the blue sea, clear water to the bottom, and saw a few large trees stuck, read the introduction to know that this is a pier site, and very historical value. #OverseasTravel #Australiatravel #Rottnest Island

Getting There - Book your ferry in advance to this island, departing from Fremantle, Perth Attractions - The Basin, Salmon Bay, Wadjemup and Bathurst Lighthouses, Pinky beach, Henrietta Rocks and many many more!! Things to do - 1.Snorkle or Dive at little Salmon Bay and/or Parker point! ( you can rent your equipments in the rental shop upon reaching the island near the visitor centre ) 2. Relax on some Rotto famous beaches ( there 60 over secluded beaches and 20 over bays on this island, each with spectacular view ) 3. Visit Oliver Hill Guns and Tunnels (history from second world war if you care to explore more ) 4. Join a heritage / cultural tour around the island to understand more 5. Rent your own bike and explore! ( there's electric bikes for rental too, for people who can't manage sooooo many uphill climbs of the island, and yes that's me) 6. QUOKKA SELFIE!!! This is a must on this island! it's my second time on this island already, and will definitely recommend everyone and anyone to visit if you're in perth! it's really a superb getaway from the city hustle!

In recent years, this short-tailed kangaroo has become famous all over the world for being regarded as the world's most funny little animal, but when I went to Australia, Rottnest Island was not such a popular attraction~ It is really convenient to take the Rottnest Express from Perth Fremantle to Rottnest Island, about half an hour away, as convenient as going to Lamma Island, and the boat is very smooth all the way. Rottnest Island is not very big, if you just want to come and find Quokka, in fact, the early boat to the late boat away is enough, and we chose to stay one night at that time~ The roads to this small island are easy to find and you can actually explore the whole island very quickly by bike. But on the way to meet Quokka, it will be delayed a lot of time! Because they are really too cute, and gossip and relatives, they will take the initiative to come to find you, so selfie is not difficult! But Rottnest Island has many beautiful scenery worth seeing besides Quokka, so be sure to schedule some time to cycle around! And the most recommended of them is. Bathurst Lighthouse, the whole lighthouse is pure white, very igable! In the evening, I returned to my accommodation and saw a Quokka waiting blankly at the door. I opened the door, and it even really walked into the house! Quokka is so cute, I hope to have the opportunity to visit them again~ #UnparalleledSeaview #OffshoreGood Places #SunsetPhotoSpots #OverseasTravel #Australia #rottnestisland

If fishing in shallow seas or riversides, a light sea rod will do; for deep-sea fishing, a more professional and stronger rod is needed. 2. Fishing line and hook: The fishing line should match the rod and the size of the target fish, and the hook should be suitable for different fish species. 3. Bait: Common baits include shrimp, worms, and small fish. You can buy them at local fishing tackle shops or prepare fresh ingredients yourself. For example, use freshly caught crabs as bait by the sea, which is very attractive to some carnivorous fish. 4. Others: Bring sunscreen clothing, hats, and sunglasses to protect yourself from UV rays; prepare a bucket to hold the caught fish; don't forget to bring drinking water and snacks to replenish energy. 📌Fishing Tips 1. Observe the tides: Fish have different activity patterns during high and low tides. Generally, during high tide, fish will come closer to the shore to feed, making it easier to catch fish on the shore. 2. Choose the right time: Early morning and evening are when fish are more active, as they come out to find food. Fishing during these times will have a higher success rate. 3. Be patient: Fishing requires patience, so don't get anxious if no fish bite for a while. When you feel a slight movement on the rod, don't rush to pull it up. Wait until the fish bites more firmly before pulling it up quickly. 💡Notes 1. Follow local regulations: Perth has relevant laws and regulations on fishing, such as quantity and size limits. Be sure to understand and comply with them in advance to avoid unnecessary trouble. 2. Protect the environment: Do not litter. Take away used bait packaging, drink bottles, etc., and keep the ocean and rivers clean. 3. Safety first: When fishing by the sea or on a boat, pay attention to safety and wear a life jacket. If you are a beginner, it is best to fish with an experienced person. Fishing in Perth not only allows you to enjoy fresh seafood but also leaves you with unforgettable travel memories. Pack your bags and come to Perth for an exciting and fun fishing trip!

A day drip to Rottnest island is a must when visiting Perth! Just a half hour ish ferry ride away from Frementle, you can visit the amazing beaches and see cute lil quokkas!!!! There is the option of taking bus or cycling around the island. We took the bus and thankfully we did, as we realised that the roads were very hilly and it would be very difficult for us (with poor leg muscles) to conquer the hilly terrains. The buses have specific timings at each location so it is important to take note of it, or you will have to wait for quite a bit for the next bus! Pack some light snacks too so that you can munch away while visiting from spots to spots! Enjoy your trip to Rottnest Island!! #travel #perth #rottnestisland
