Afterwards, join a guided Perth sightseeing tour and discover all the must-see spots, including Elizabeth Quay, Kings Park and Botanic Garden, and the Bell Tower. (B/L)

You'll join a short ferry ride to this small but mighty coastal jewel, which packs a punch when it comes to things to do, from snorkelling in the pristine bays and taking leisurely bikes ride along the coastal tracks, to lounging on one of its 63 golden beaches. Travelers visit from around the world to meet the resident quokkas - adorable marsupials related to kangaroos and wallabies - that are famous for their smiles.
Explore Rottnest Island aboard a unique train that takes you to highlights like The Settlement, Wadjemup Lighthouse, and the Mabel Cove lookout. Enjoy the comfort of air conditioning as you take in stunning landscapes, from salt lakes to beaches and woodlands, while learning about the island's rich heritage.
