Relax in the cool, sub-tropical waters of Rottnest Island, just 16 kilometres offshore from Perth and 20 minutes by fast ferry, leaving directly from Barrack Square. The many picture perfect bays with white sandy beaches are perfect for snorkelling and safe family swimming. Native to the island are mammals called Quokkas which are similar to small Kangaroos and are less than a foot tall. They are friendly and easily hand fed and seem to strike a smiling pose for the now infamous "Quokka selfie". Tandem bicycle hire is also available as well as a submarine to view the underwater reef and there is also a golf course.
