While we're big fans of exploring Rottnest Island on foot, there's something about whizzing around with a bike seat beneath your bum that brings a childlike delight to the journey. The 11km long and 4.5km wide island is car-free, meaning most island-goers get around on two wheels.
You can rent a geared or electric bicycle to pick up on arrival at Pedal and Flipper, located a short walk from the island’s ferry terminal. These guys also offer kids' bikes, electric scooters, baby seats and mobility assistance tricycles, along with helmets, snorkels, dive tanks and stand-up paddleboards. All bikes come with a helmet and lock, plus you'll receive a complimentary call-out service for any problems you may encounter while you're out and about.
