Cycling on Rottnest Island

Eco-friendly activity

Thomson Bay, Melissa Krafchek

You can hire a bike before you get to Rottnest, and take it on the ferry, or hire on the island at Rottnest Island Bike Hire (located behind the Quokka Arms Hotel). The company has tandems, child seats, trailers and electric buggies for the elderly and disabled, but does not take bookings. In around five hours, cyclists can tour the whole island, stopping at points of interest; alternatively, a leisurely three-hour ride will take in the salt lakes, lighthouse and the east end of the island.
