Detailed itinerary
1
Parker Point
One of Rottnest Island’s most iconic coastal spots. Parker Point is famous for its crystal-clear turquoise water, vibrant reef and postcard-perfect shoreline. As you pass by, you’ll see why this area is a favourite for snorkelling and swimming, with shallow waters and coral just offshore creating a natural underwater playground.
2
Little Salmon Bay
Often described as one of the island’s best beaches, Little Salmon Bay is a sheltered slice of paradise. Calm, glassy waters and brilliant blue tones make it a standout for families and snorkellers alike. Passing this bay gives you front-row views of Rottnest’s pristine coastline and its relaxed, holiday atmosphere.
3
Henrietta Rocks
A favourite snorkelling spot with a story to tell. Henrietta Rocks is home to the wreck of the Shark, resting just offshore in shallow, clear water. Even from land, you can glimpse the reef and imagine the marine life below. Passing this spot highlights Rottnest Island’s rich maritime history and its incredible underwater scenery.
4
Rottnest Island Salt Lakes
A striking inland landscape unlike anywhere else on the island. The Rottnest Salt Lakes shimmer in shades of pink and white, shaped by salt, sun and sky. As you glide past, you’ll see a quieter, lesser-known side of Rottnest that feels worlds away from the beaches. Keep an eye out for wildlife and enjoy the contrast between the island’s rugged interior and its sparkling coastline.
5
See the beautiful Bathurst Lighthouse with views over Pinkies Beach and back to the mainland.
