About this tour
Skip the freeway and fly from Rottnest Island back to Perth in fifteen minutes aboard a modern turboprop seaplane. This one-way scenic flight departs from the Swan River in Perth's CBD, offering morning and afternoon options. You'll bank over Kings Park, the city skyline and the turquoise waters between island and mainland—a perspective most visitors never see. The flight itself is the journey, not just transport.
Highlights
- Fifteen-minute flight across glittering Indian Ocean waters
- Modern Cessna turboprop with large windows for viewing
- Departures from central Perth, no airport schlep required
- Aerial views of Kings Park and Perth's western suburbs
- Morning and afternoon slots available for flexibility
What to expect
You'll arrive at the seaplane terminal in Perth's CBD with time to spare. The pilot briefs you on safety, then you board the eight-seater cabin where everyone gets a window seat. The engines power up, the seaplane accelerates across the Swan River, and within seconds you're airborne. The entire flight hugs the coastline—you'll see Rottnest's quokkas' island home shrinking below, then Kings Park's gardens spreading across the city's edge. The landing is smooth; you'll taxi to the Perth terminal and disembark.
