It wasn't disappointed without any sign of wild penguins on the island in day time, usually they don't back on the island after dark. there's still so much to enjoy here such as the white sand beach, crystal clear water, impressive sea caves, birds and sea lions. Penguin feeding is available in the Discovery center, check out from Rockingham Wild Encounters. Picnic with friends and family beside the beautiful beaches with the view of the Shoalwater bay is a good idea!
There's limited facilities on the island, bring your own food and water, wear comfortably and most importantly take all the rubbish with you back to the mainland.

We travel to create memory, find other status, to live a life and to meet awesome people.

Rottnest Island is a beautiful nature reserve landscape and it is special with many unique flora and wildlife. It's easy to explore the island by cycling or service vehicle such as shuttle bus or car from hotel service. Get a island guide at the visitor center after your off from the ferry. It has the information about the Island including the map, cycling paths, walking trail routes. a full list of things to do and see in the island.

I just spend a day cycling around in the Island and didn't manage to finish explore the island (only half). If you plan to make it in 1 day, take the shuttle bus and stop by at some attractions and snorkeling spot which are worth to (Parker Point). 2-3 days is suggested to fully experience of Rottnest Island cycling/snorkeling/diving/tracking, so you would not miss out anything! Summer is usually the hot season to visit but the other seasons might be better without the crowd.

Travel brings power and passion back to my life.
