• Cycling is synonymous with visiting Rottnest. There are virtually no cars on the island and certainly no traffic! So, a bike is the ideal way to get around to the 63 beaches and 20 bays.
• Take in the awe-inspiring scenery around you and feel the abundance of space. It’s an uninterrupted experience you simply can’t get anywhere else.
• Kids can safely roam on pushbikes and is a haven for childhood joys.
• Bring your own bike to the island or get wheeled up at Pedal & Flipper with an assortment of bikes for hire.
• Once you arrive to the island, you can head straight there to pick up your bike and be on your way faster to the endless cycle paths.
• Wadjemup Lighthouse is one of the only lighthouses in Western Australia you can enter and tour inside with 360-degree views of the island
• Not many people know about the military history of Rottnest Island and its part in the coastal defence of Western Australia during WW2.
• Segway and e-bike tours are also offered on the island. Quokka Hopper is a new golf-cart service as more of a resort treat during your stay the island as an on-demand private transfer.
