Hello! and welcome to Western Australia. Thank you for sharing your beautiful highlights of Rottnest Island. So happy to see you both enjoying our beaches. Some fun facts. There are a few hidden treasures. - Deep beneath the ocean, in waters west of Rottnest Island, lies a treasure trove of scuttled ships, military vehicles and abandoned aircraft.
Anutha fact is that ROTTNEST ISLAND used to be a prison for Aboriginal men from all across the state... there are over 300 Aboriginal men buried at Rottnest Island most come from the north of the state and being from tribes that aren't local to Perth such as my people the Noongah people of the south west region of Western Australia.. these men would've suffered alot especially being displaced from their Country (tribal lands)....
Good to see a video of you guys cycling anti clockwise. I did clockwise two days ago when over in Perth, so a slightly diff perspective. Absolutely loved Perth and Rotto was the highlight on my last day!
Thanks Greg! We didn’t even think about it, we just hopped on the bikes and off we went! 🤣 glad you made it to the island! It really is a highlight of the region!!
Great video ,you can easily spend a week there and not get bored. The island also has a lot of historical sites that are worth seeing such as the defence bunker from WW2 .
Thank you so much for all your beautiful videos! As my boyfriend and I are planning a very similar trip to yours, starting in July (Just the other way around :-D), alll the information you give are so helpful. Greetings from Switzerland!
Oh that’s amazing what vehicle are you planning to do it in?? We are going to do a summary video soon to answer all of the questions people have about this type of trip so if you do have any questions, go ahead and ask! 🙏🏼
@@cjexplores Thank you for your answer. We are planning on buying a 4WD. I do have a few questions: What are your MUST bring items for your adventure? How do you plan your trip and how do you find your camgrounds for the night? Do you have any app or website recommendations which could help with the planning? Is there anything you wish you did differently? Enjoy the rest of your adventure!
@@Noemar7712 im west aussie and theres loads of caravan parks all around WA. Most places have challets, powered spots for RVs or caravans and tent sites. Pretty much all of them have camp kitchens, showers and toilets and sometimes rec rooms and mini convinience store items. If you have portable housing its MUCH cheaper than staying in a hotel but you won't be able to stay too close to the CBD (the wonders of WA are very spread out anyway - you won't see enough of it without a car).
We did the day trip to Rotto last year from Perth with bikes last year, had an awesome day. However, those bikes left our butts in rage after cycling around the island!
Great video work, really enjoyable. Did you know just a few Km of shore is the beginning of the Perth trench. This massive trench starts off at 600 meters deep and shaped like a huge dinosaur it's the size of the Grand canyon. It is a major feeding ground for blue , humpback and Southern Wright whales and of course a popular hangout for great whites and tiger sharks plus many other species, even the occasional killer whales. Great deep sea fishing too. Really pleased you enjoyed it.
Hi Grace, thanks for watching 😃 We think Western Australia has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world 😍 Queensland also has some beautiful beaches - are you visiting?
It might be a little bit cold and windy then, but you’ll also have the benefit of fewer tourists. So maybe if you can be flexible with the day you go over on the boat, you could check the weather closer to the time and make a plan then?
too bad you missed salmon bay….it is fantastic at the start of the day then move on to the basin the 2nd 1/2 of your day. i live in perth. A regular at rotto!
Great video! I’m planning to visit Rottnest next January. Did you have to pay $15 each for the bikes each way on the ferry since you rented them in Fremantle?
One thing about ROTTNEST ISLAND is that it used to be a island prison for Aboriginal men from all over the state... there is over 300 Aboriginal men buried at Rottnest and this is sumthn Aboriginal people don't do.... is be buried in another tribes country or tribal lands...as Perth and the entire south west region of Western Australia is NOONGAH COUNTRY.. all the motels at Rottnest used to be prison cells
@@sylvesterclaude9181 if you go in high season you might want to book your tickets on the ferry a day or so before. And if you want an E Bike I would do the same too, because they do have a limited supply on the island. You can bring a bike on the ferry if you can’t source one on the island 😊
excellent video and great editing ... I enjoyed seeing "my backyard" through the eyes of tourists .... You did well going for a day and heading all the way out to West End - I wouldn't recommend people try that unless they're quite fit and/or have e-bikes ... all the best for the rest of your travels.. btw - have been a surfer in WA for 30 years + up and down the entire coast morning noon and dusk (even night at City Beach sometimes) ... Have seen very few sharks, but some areas are more sharky than others.. Still you have a bigger chance of being killed by a cow or Ikea shelving than a shark ... they're definitely not "man eaters" , if they were - we'd all be dead ....😳 😜🤣
Thanks a lot! We really enjoyed visiting as you can probably tell 😁 we are on the other side of the world now, exploring the UK and Europe 🌍 Interesting to hear about the sharks. I think the problem is that we see and hear only the most headline worthy encounters. This paints an image in our minds that is so hard to counter! 🦈
@@cjexplores for sure - I can understand that - sharks trigger a primal fear in many people ... Don't get me wrong, I'm dead scared of sharks too, and have been spooked in the water a number times. It's really hard to put the thought out of your head in certain conditions..
Thanks Flying Fox 🙏🏼😁 I know that you can apply for a permit there. But you should probably do this months in advance, we all know how long these things can take!!

Hi Pei Ling Yu! Thank you for your comment. To answer your questions we hired the bike from Ocean Bikes in Fremantle. They provided the lock with the bike. And yes we did use the lock when we were eating or at the beaches ☺️ you can also hire the bikes from different companies on the island but when we went all of the E Bikes were unavailable.
@@cjexplores thank you for reply🤩 I just subscribed your channel 🥳 Hope to watch more travel video😍 Btw, I am from Taiwan. Taiwan is the small island in Eastern Asia , you guys could visit ,it won’t let you down❤️
Thank you! Rottnest is beautiful indeed - absolutely loved our time there. We found out after you do need permission to fly, there's no signs telling you otherwise but we researched and it's correct. Thanks for watching!
@@sandgroperwookiee65 I wonder if you fly it for personal use and use a drone like the DJI Mini series if the local council would grant you permission?
Wow you covered a lot a ground in one day. Thanks for the bike hire option tip, looks like the best way to get around. I love how you really take us along with you when you do your videos. 👍
@@cjexplores Hey guys, I watched your full video and I know you got up extra early and caught the 4pm Ferry back, to make the most of the day did you catch the 7am Ferry?
😂😂😂 we were able to explore the WHOLE ISLAND as well as FILM AN ENTIRE VLOG in one day thanks to those E Bikes!! Call us cheaters, but we are so thankful that E Bikes exist 😁
The name 'rottnest island' was given by the dutch survivors of the dutch india ship Batavia that has been wrecked on the great barrier reef in 1626 that saw these critters and tough they were big brown rats like back in Holland. 'Rot' is the 17th century name for rat like the name of the city of Rotterdam what translates to Rattendam 🙂🙏
close - but I don't think it was the Batavia crew, as they wrecked at the Abrolhos Islands (about 500 km north of Rotto). I believe it was the local English settlors that thought they were Rats - though I'm not positive on that either ...
Rottnest is unfortunately prohibitively expensive for a lot of people. It's anywhere from $200 to $300+ for a family of four just for the ferry trip out there and back (depending on where you leave from and how long you're staying). I haven't been in about twenty years 😞
We had to save up for a whole year to do our Big Lap of Aus so we were able to splurge on activities like this! But yes, we found the accommodation particularly expensive hence why we only took a day trip 👍🏼
O oh oooo voooo woooooow it's up to super nice places yessss super nice I don't know how I tell u bout this place yaaa everything perrty view of nature super I so excited about this place nature beuyti all sea beachs roks water amazing wonder full on Sea yart ships lovely how u enjoying e bike fun taking rod super foods super I lots enjoying this video super country and super nice seylla and core how u expilan everything this ur stylish wow 10 o 10 for nice video
Back over in Queensland we have a name for this, it’s called Island Tax. The cost of getting goods and produce over to the islands without the infrastructure of the national road network is included in the price. You don’t HAVE to eat there by the way. But it’s good for viewers to note the price and plan accordingly 👍🏼
"feeding the greed" - come on Al - They're supporting small business who do it tough and have a very high cost base, partly because of the big supermarkets you're suggesting they go to instead. I'd much rather tourists and locals support small local business than the big supermarkets who ultimately hurt everyone with their greed. They also take their profits away, pay stuff-all tax, aggressively maintain a duopoly, rip everyone off, destroy small business and diversity, and cost everyone more than they should.. ok rant over - soap box put away ... 😜
So little time, so much to cover!! I guess you figured out that we focussing on the highlights of what to do on the island and not so much of the history. There's other channels that do a far better job at research and education in that respect and not a route we want to go down. Sorry if our title and thumbnail mislead you at all?
@@cjexplores this island in particular has a unique history, It is an important route to go down in discussing the island or you are whitewashing its history. x
@@jimimased1894 my guy, I want to help you. If you have a passion about something, that is fantastic. But your job as an activist is not to tell other people that they have to care about the thing that you care about. If everyone did that we would spend all day screaming at each and nothing would get done. If you want to do something about the cause you value then YOU need to find a way to educate others on the importance of the issue. Find a method that is captivating and engaging and you will do well. But just telling other people off will only turn people away my friend. Wishing you all the best on your journey ❤️🙏🏼❤️
@@cjexplores yeah its the problem with aussie, I say it as ironically being English & knowing several tourists (every single one) that went there said there was absolutely nothing said about its history on their tours. thats what tourists actually are interested in. Ive been to Sydney zero to find about aboriginal culture there. Aussie tourism has a bad look when it ignores its history & what tourists actually want, which is aboriginal history and culture!
Why have you uk people got to compare here to The Med or elsewhere in Europe all the efing time. Can't each country be unique in its own terms. It's like me comparing the uk to a turd laden sewer. Which is pretty accurate now that I think about it
Considering half of our audience is in the UK and may not have visited Rottnest Island, it’s helpful to share a reference that the viewer can relate to or understand. We are back in the UK now and entirely disagree about your sewer statement 😬 right now we have beautiful calm oceans, perfect for snorkelling and spending days on our golden sand beaches here in Cornwall ✌🏼 wishing you all the best, wherever you are John 😉

Going to WA for college next month, I hope I can visit this beautiful island too. Opportunity cannot be denied!
Do not miss it 😉 one of our favourite spots in WA 🤩
It's been a cold, wintery week in Perth, and I miss rotto like crazy tonight. Haven't been there for years. You guys captured it beautifully.
Oh dude ❤️🥰 that’s so nice to read 🙏🏼 we hope the weather turns around for you soon 🤞🏼
good to know, me and my family are going on vacation there for about almost 3 weeks love hearing your vlogs about it!
Wonderful! You will have an amazing time and I’m sure you’ll know a lot more about it after your visit than us! You might have to make your own vlog 😁

@@cjexplores it’s not the cycling, we do a lot of it in UK, it’s this aweful saddles they supply 😂😂😂
@@sydive130 ahhh 😧 I understand now!! I don’t think they are investing a lot into their seat options sadly 🤣
Bring an e scooter with you. You can enjoy the island and not raise a sweat.
@@rexxx777 great idea! Is it free on the ferry?
Going to Rotto tomorrow. You did a very informative vlog! 💕
Thanks! Hope you have an epic time over there 🙌🏼🤩
I always found wind on Fremantle beach so tiring at this time of year and the waves enormous for lazy swimming

Which Australian state has the best beaches in your opinion?
Hi Grace, thanks for watching 😃
We think Western Australia has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world 😍 Queensland also has some beautiful beaches - are you visiting?
Planning on going over for a few days in December, did you have any issues with the Police for riding without a helmet at all
None at all 😉 not sure how it would be at the holiday season though, might be more police around 😁 have an epic time Daniel!
Hey! I am planning to visit the island in the end of May? Would you recommend going to Rottnest island around that time?
It might be a little bit cold and windy then, but you’ll also have the benefit of fewer tourists. So maybe if you can be flexible with the day you go over on the boat, you could check the weather closer to the time and make a plan then?

I would have thought the sea would have been warm ? Is the sea always cold there?
No the sea doesn’t get very warm there. Couple that with the fact the air temperature is very hot and it’s a vast contrast!
