Relax on a cruise along the Swan River, passing exclusive riverside suburbs, the Royal Perth Yacht Club and the University of WA.

You’re sure to encounter a quokka, which can only be found on Rottnest. You’ll learn about its colourful history on a comprehensive circumnavigation of the island, stopping at some of Rottnest’s most spectacular locations, including the Wadjemup Lighthouse and the majestic lookout point at the rugged West End.
