The most unique and memorable way to experience Rottnest island. Sail to stunning bays brimming with local marine life. Swim, Snorkel, SUP or just relax. The perfect way to spend the afternoon.
Experience the magic of Rottnest Island by luxury sailing catamaran! Sail the island's stunning coastline and dive into an underwater paradise, full snorkel gear included. Departing Thomson Bay, enjoy a leisurely sail to a secluded bay home to up to 400 species of fish, coral and seagrasses. Anchored at the island's top snorkel spots, join the guided snorkel tour, or meander at your own pace, or simply kick back and relax on the spacious bows. Look out for dolphins and the rare Australian sea lions along the way. Kayaks and SUP boards also available for shared use. Enjoy light snack with coffee/tea as you sail back to the jetty in time for the afternoon ferries. Near-sighted prescription masks also available for hire onboard.
This experience runs for 2.5 - 3 hours depending on conditions on the day. Please allow 3 when booking a return ferry.

Public departures are subject to weather conditions and minimum numbers. The provider monitors expected conditions well in advance of each tour and charter and will always try to give you as much notice as possible if they deem it too risky to proceed, however the final decision is at the discretion of the skipper on the day. Unexpected weather changes can and do happen, albeit are rare.
Casual attire. It is advisable to bring a warmer clothing than you may need on shore, as the ocean is typically a few degrees cooler and may be more exposed to wind. Bare feet on deck. White sole shoes on the stern (barefoot preferred). Bring along your bathers and a towel.

That’s 10% of the Australian population! When we started ‘doing’ experiences in 2001, Facebook didn’t exist; the iPod had just been invented; John Howard was Prime Minister; and Destiny's Child were popular (yikes!). We’ve been at this business of experiences for quite a while, so put your trust in us to show you a good time.
