Island Explorer Hop-On, Hop-Off Bus Pass & Ferry Package
Experience the beauty of Rottnest at your own pace with our hop-on, hop-off 'Island Explorer' shuttle bus. The Island Explorer is NOT a tour, the bus driver does not provide commentary.
Cycling not your thing? Still after the flexibility of exploring Rottnest at your own pace? Our hop-on hop-off shuttle bus makes its way around the Island to 19 different stops.
Your all-day ticket allows you to hop on and off as often as you like. Head off to your favourite bay for a swim, climb the lighthouse or visit West End. As a hop-on, hop-off service a seat is not always guaranteed and you may need to stand.
Please note: During peak periods, the bus might be full and you may have to stand or wait for the next bus.
Please note that the rates for this package now include a temporary fuel surcharge of $1.00 per person. This was introduced on 31/03/26 in response to rising fuel prices, caused by the Middle Eastern conflict. This temporary surcharge will help combat the rising costs involved with purchasing and delivering fuel to this offshore location.
