    Tour Overview

    A bespoke island escape on foot

    Discover the natural beauty of Rottnest Island on your own terms with our Private Half-Day Guided Hike. Tailored to suit your pace and preferences, this exclusive experience showcases a section of the renowned Wadjemup Bidi trail network, with our top recommendation being the breathtaking 12km Lakes & Bays hike.

    Your journey begins with a complimentary coffee and sweet treat at one of the island’s charming cafés — the perfect moment to settle in, slow down, and breathe in the coastal air before hitting the trail.

    From boardwalks that give the illusion of walking on water to peaceful inland salt lakes and rugged coastal views, your private guide will lead you on an enriching journey through Rottnest’s diverse landscapes and fascinating stories. Whether you choose to wander through the Gabbi Karniny Bidi – Discover the Salt Lakes, or explore another section of the trail network, this tour offers a deeper, more personal way to connect with Rottnest’s wild heart.

    Dip your toes in the turquoise waters of secluded bays, stroll alongside historical landmarks, and enjoy the space to pause, reflect, and truly take in the island’s magic — all without the crowds.

    Trail Difficulty

    Suitable for all ages and fitness levels. Some inclines and sand sections depending on the trail selection. No prior hiking experience necessary.

    Explore. Conserve. Discover.

    Rottnest is more than a destination — it’s a living landscape. Our private hikes are crafted to connect you with its rhythms while treading lightly. Stay on trail, leave no trace, and walk with wonder.
