Sunscreen, water, a sturdy backpack and a sense of adventure are Rottnest Island essentials. Since bicycles are the preferred means of transportation on the island, you might like to arrange one before you go. The same applies for snorkelling gear.

If you can handle the heat, the summer months from December to February are ideal for swimming, snorkelling and laying by the beach. If you prefer things a little less sweaty, consider spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May). Winter might be a little chilly for swimming, but there’s plenty of other things to see and do on Rottnest Island, including snap selfies with the resident quokkas.

Go for a bike ride, snap a selfie with some of the resident quokkas, swim, snorkel, explore, tee off at the golf course, do a little stargazing, catch a flick, eat prawns and watch the sun set, go fishing, head to one of the island’s lookouts, or do absolutely nothing at all.
