July School Holidays

There are endless ways to burn off the school holiday energy at Rottnest Island. There’s no better place to start than hiring a bike from Pedal & Flipper and touring the island’s cycle paths and roads past stunning scenery. 

If riding a bike isn’t your thing, you can't beat a tour on a revolutionary set of wheels with Segway Tours WA (suitable for kids over the age of 12).

If you're keen to see the island from a different perspective during the winter months, there are a range of bus tours with Quokka Coaches and Rottnest Express to help you explore the island from the comfort of a bus. Or enjoy the island at your own pace with the Island Explorer hop-on-hop-off bus service with 19 different stops including the famous beaches, bays and attractions.

For a slower pace, you can also take the family on a stroll along a section of the Wadjemup Bidi - the network of walk trails traversing the island, taking in beautiful landmarks and offering insights through interpretive signage along the way. 

Kids can also fill their days with mini-golf and retro arcade games as well as catching one of the latest new release movies at Rottnest Movies and Mini Golf, or roll up for a few rounds of barefoot lawn bowls the whole family will enjoy.

For an insightful look through Rottnest Island’s rich history, take a walk around Wadjemup Museum. Discover a range of exhibits including 40,000-year-old artefacts, whale bones, and even the old lighthouse keeper’s jacket.
