    Tour Overview

    Step into the heart of Rottnest Island for an unforgettable journey on ancient landscapes across the Wadjemup Bidi. Over three immersive days, you will walk the land, uncovering stories told through time while pressing pause to reconnect with yourself and nature.

    Our carefully crafted journey creates a nurturing space centered on empowerment, connection, and growth as you traverse the rugged tracks, feel the sand beneath your feet, and breathe in the fresh sea air.  Discover hidden beaches and windswept headlands, all bathed in the island’s radiant light.

    This immersive adventure for the soul will nudge you into your “challenge-zone”. While the physical paths are accessible, the distances on open beaches are a challenge, designed to invigorate and push your boundaries within the safety of the group and guides. Moderate fitness levels are recommended to fully enjoy the essence of this experience, however easier options are available.

    The journey begins with a powerful Welcome to Country and a traditional smoking and sand ceremony, led by local Nyoongar elder, grounding you in the cultural significance of Wadjemup.

    Each day, you will find yourself adventuring a selection of the Wadjemup Bidi trails, with options for all fitness levels and abilities, in a create your own journey approach. This unique opportunity fosters your individual desire to explore wild spaces, in the safety and comfort of a guided group. Distances vary from 7 to 18km, depending on your individual preferences.

    Your evenings will be a celebration of connection, with a family-style banquet and beautiful dining, enjoyed after days filled with exploration. You’ll rest in superior glamping tent accommodation at Discovery Rottnest, complete with pool access, where simplicity meets comfort.

    As the sun rises each morning, we’ll embrace the day with sunrise meditation and journaling sessions, creating moments of stillness amidst the beauty.

    Ferry transfers from Fremantle are included, ensuring that every aspect of your journey is thoughtfully taken care of.

    The Rottnest Journey is your chance to experience the island’s true heart—its landscapes, stories, and the connection it fosters. Discover the Emerald Isle in a Sea of Sapphire and let this all-inclusive adventure rejuvenate your spirit.
