Once you’ve decided the boarding point for your ferry, here’s what you need to consider to pick the right Rottnest Island ferry options for you.

  • All Rottnest Island ferry tickets offer transfers both to and from the mainland.

The entry fee to the island is also included in your ferry ticket fare.

This ticket is relatively affordable and allows you to explore the island at your own pace. If you’d prefer a curated experience with activities on the island along with ferry transfers, then check out Rottnest Island ferry + day tour options. You can choose between various experiences like bus tours, segway tours, bike trip or even tandem skydive with curated Rottnest Island day tours. 
  • The price of your ferry tickets depends on your boarding point. The prices for ferry tickets from Fremantle are AU$84, from Hillarys are AU$90 and from Perth CBD are AU$124. This price can go higher if your tickets also include other activities to explore on the island.
