  • Duration: 8 Hours (approx.)
  • Location: Fremantle, WA
  • Product code: PYS15E

You are invited to travel some 11 nautical miles (20km) off the Fremantle coast to the unique and stunning marine park surrounding Rottnest Island.

This full-day Rottnest Island tour isn't your average island hop; it's an exclusive full day sailing experience offering a unique perspective of the island's natural beauty.  

Immerse yourself in turquoise waters as you explore coral reefs teeming with marine life, thanks to warm Leuwinn Current that hugs Rottnest Island as it passes by.  Keep your eyes peeled for playful dolphins or curious sea lions!*  Test your paddling skills on the kayaks, ride on the huge cargo net, or simply kick back and relax on the spacious trampolines up front as you soak in all that fresh ocean air.

To complete your memorable day, get ready to feel the spray of the ocean as we raise the sails for our return journey, powered by the famous "Freo Doctor."  

This small group tour, limited to 24 guests, ensures a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere for lifelong memories to be made and new friendships formed. A buffet lunch and a morning tea are included, along with your marine park fee and snorkeling equipment. Prescription masks are also available to hire.

Please note:  This is a fully water-based tour.  You will not be disembarking at the island. If you wish to visit the island by foot, we recommend checking out our SNORKEL & SAIL tour (from Rottnest Is.) and combining this with a return ferry from Fremantle.

CHILDREN

Although we try to be as inclusive at possible, this particular tour is recommended for ages 5 and up. This is due to the distance required to travel (18km) across open water which takes approx 1.5-2 hours depending on conditions. The journey can be very long for smaller children and may in certain situations pose a safety risk. For children under 5 we recommend the shorter SNORKEL & SAIL tour option which departs directly from the Island.

For children aged 5 and up, for life jacket provisioning, please advise your child's age(s) when making a booking. Children under 10 may be asked to wear a life jacket at all times.

LARGE GROUPS

Maximum group size of 8 please.  Please contact us if you wish to book for 9 or more. A private charter is generally more suitable.
