About this tour
Spend seven-and-a-half hours discovering Rottnest Island the way locals know it. Ferry across to the island with coffee in hand, then pedal through 63 sandy bays at your own rhythm using a custom bike and printed trail guide. Stop at The Lane for a signature Cray Dog—Western Australian lobster between bread—before finishing with scoops from Simmo's, an ice creamery ranked among the world's finest. This self-paced loop suits all fitness levels and skips the resort-park crowds.

What to expect
You'll arrive on the island mid-morning after a smooth ferry journey. Collect your bike—helmet and lock included—and review the three trail options marked on your map, ranging from gentle shoreline rides to longer inland loops. Set your own tempo cycling between secluded bays and beaches, stopping for swims or photos as you please. Around midday, head to The Lane for lunch; the Cray Dog is the standout choice, though alternatives exist. Afternoon winds down with a pedal to Simmo's for ice cream before your return ferry. The terrain is mostly flat and sandy paths. All three trails are achievable for casual riders; fitness requirements are minimal. Plan water and sun protection.
Good to know
Bikes accommodate varying heights and handlebar preferences. Public transport links nearby if you prefer not cycling the full day. Bring sunscreen and a water bottle. Not recommended for infants or unsteady toddlers. The 7.5-hour window includes ferry time, so budget roughly 5 hours on island.
