Prepare to discover a side of Rottnest Island that few get to see! Explore Rottnest Island's remote and wonderful coastline, secluded bays, beaches and encounters with rarely seen wildlife. Join us on the Eco Express for a 90 minute boat ride to the island's wild side.

The Eco Express will complete a full circumnavigation (weather permitting) of Rottnest, offering passengers an unforgettable, entertaining and informative experience. The waters off Rottnest Island are teeming with wildlife, including the majestic Humpback Whales during September to November, and closer to home watch the delightful antics of the New Zealand Fur Seal colony out at Cathedral Rocks.

Depart Hillarys Boat Harbour at 10am for the passage to Rottnest Island, please check in at least 30 minutes prior to departure and collect your hire bike.

On the 90 minute tour on the Eco express you may get a little wet but you will get a chance to see the island and it's wildlife from a different perspective on the water. If it is whale Migratory season ( Sept to Nov) you may even get to see some of these magnificent Humpback whales as they pass near Rottnest Island.

After the tour you have the rest of the day to explore the island at your leisure or cycle to your favourite spot and chill out with the quokkas.
