Combine the breathtaking aerial views of Wadjemup / Rottnest Island with an unparalleled and authentic ‘catch and dine’ cruising experience.
Departing the Swan River in the morning, you will enjoy fantastic aerial views of Perth and Fremantle on your scenic seaplane flight to Wadjemup / Rottnest Island. Take sight of the array of colours and shapes of the many salt lakes, bays and beaches before touching down at Wadjemup / Rottnest Island in the record time of less than 20 minutes!
Enjoy some free time to check out the village settlement and visit a few local stores before boarding the Rottnest Cruises’ vessel for your 4 hour, 7-course deluxe seafood banquet catch and dine experience. Be greeted by friendly staff as you are welcomed with a Lychee Blossom Gin Cocktail, tasty canapés, a range of premium local wines and a generous selection of beers.
View the highlights of Thomson Bay, Pinky’s Beach and The Basin whilst steaming around the island to locate the lobster pots.

Enjoy a delicious Western Australian seafood lunch and taste the popular Western Rock Lobster in your style of choice being barbecued or sashimi.
After a delicious dessert, take a final cruise back to Thomson Bay where your catch and dine experience concludes. You will either board the tender vessel back to the seaplane, or have free time ahead of your return ferry to Perth.
