Airport Closure
The Rottnest Island Airport will be closed from 17 July to 14 August 2025 for essential safety upgrades. Air transfers will not be available during this period.
There is no better place to spend the last day of 2025, and ring in the new year with friends and family.
Enjoy the day discovering the island, leading into an afternoon of entertainment tailored to all ages. As the sun dips below the horizon of the Indian Ocean, gather together to mark the occasion with a spectacular free family fireworks display above Thomson Bay at 8 pm. It's the perfect way to create lasting memories and usher in a bright new year.
The event is located in the heart of the Main Settlement, on Thomson Lawn. Visitors will find the event site just a two-minute walk or 350 meters from the Main Jetty.
