Rottnest Seals, Sunset and West End Tour

It is believed that Rottnest Island separated from the mainland 7,000 years ago and is now the largest of a chain of islands off the coast of Perth. The stunning, pristine environment includes 63 secluded beaches and 20 bays. It offers crystal clear water and a fascinating history, as well as being home to the quokka. “Rotto” has a relaxed atmosphere and unique features that will leave a lasting impression.

This 1.75-hour Seals, Sunset and West End Tour heads through the middle of the island, passing Wadjemup Lighthouse at dusk, then on to the West End with time to walk Cape Vlamingh and the Cathedral Rocks to see the NZ long nose fur seals (seal sightings not guaranteed as they are wild animals).

Explore the stunning beauty of this A-Class reserve in air-conditioned comfort and choose a spot to watch an island sunset at the West End, away from the bustle of the Settlement. Feel free to bring a picnic.

Return departure from the West End is five minutes after the sun has set, and the driver will give an exact time each day. After the amazing sunset, return via the same route with options for drop offs at Geordie Bay (on request) with the final drop off at Main Bus Stop.

OPERATES 19th December 2026 - 24th April 2027

Fridays and Saturdays only, from 6.15pm - 8.00pm.

Please note that this tour is only suitable for guests staying on the island or travelling on late return ferries to Fremantle.

Later in the season, when the sun sets earlier, the tour may depart earlier, in which case all guests will be contacted ahead of time.

As the seals are wild animals, sightings are dependent on their behaviour and cannot be guaranteed.

Due to the impact of the Middle Eastern conflict on fuel prices, we have been forced to put a temporary fuel surcharge in place of an additional $1.00 per person.  This currently applies to our Rottnest island services only and will help combat the rising costs involved with purchasing and delivering fuel to this offshore location.  This surcharge will be applied to your online cart upon booking.
