Itinerary
Parker Point One of Rottnest Island’s most iconic coastal spots. Parker Point is famous for its crystal-clear turquoise water, vibrant reef and postcard-perfect shoreline. As you pass by, you’ll see why this area is a favourite for snorkelling and swimming, with shallow waters and coral just offshore creating a natural underwater playground.
Little Salmon Bay Often described as one of the island’s best beaches, Little Salmon Bay is a sheltered slice of paradise. Calm, glassy waters and brilliant blue tones make it a standout for families and snorkellers alike. Passing this bay gives you front-row views of Rottnest’s pristine coastline and its relaxed, holiday atmosphere.
Henrietta Rocks A favourite snorkelling spot with a story to tell. Henrietta Rocks is home to the wreck of the Shark, resting just offshore in shallow, clear water. Even from land, you can glimpse the reef and imagine the marine life below. Passing this spot highlights Rottnest Island’s rich maritime history and its incredible underwater scenery.
Rottnest Island Salt Lakes A striking inland landscape unlike anywhere else on the island. The Rottnest Salt Lakes shimmer in shades of pink and white, shaped by salt, sun and sky. As you glide past, you’ll see a quieter, lesser-known side of Rottnest that feels worlds away from the beaches. Keep an eye out for wildlife and enjoy the contrast between the island’s rugged interior and its sparkling coastline.
See the beautiful Bathurst Lighthouse with views over Pinkies Beach and back to the mainland.
Rottnest's iconic guns from World War 2 - with views across the ocean and island.

Comfortable and unique way to see parts of the island. Two tour options available. We chose to see the lakes, bays and lighthouse at the heart of the island. Our guide was knowledgeable about the island, hidden bays, unique sites, history, indigenous cultural significance plus the unique flora and fauna. He easily ascertained our interests and tailored our tour to ensure he answered all our questions and provided a unique perspective of the island. He was happy to stop for photos, assisting where necessary to ensure we captured the true essence of amazing Rottnest Island. My friend and I have visited before, and have explored the island in various ways. This tour was unique, personalised and provided information and insights we had not been made aware of before. It was relaxing, easy and informative. Would highly recommend for friends, partners, families and people who may not have the ability and energy levels to ride around the island
Best fun! Tom and Lewis took us to so many beautiful bays and stops in Rottnest that we have never been to before. Wonderful way to explore, lots of informative information, easy to chat too and very accommodating. If you are after the best pictures of Rottnest…then do this tour! Thank you!!!
A wonderful way to see Rottnest from a different perspective. Tom our guide was chatty, friendly and knowledgeable. He is also an excellent photographer taking photos of us at different viewpoints and the wildlife. We saw Dugite snake, spiders, kestral and birds. We glimpsed lizards but they were too quick for us! Tom even let me pretend to cycle the rickshaw! We had a fun morning in a comfortable rickshaw with no leg work from us. Thank you Tom
We had an amazing time on our tour with Tom. He showed us some amazing spots around the island and was very insightful with his knowledge on a range of topics. Would highly recommend this as a way to see the island in your own personalised way. We loved it.
This tour was really amazing, it allowed us to see all the beautiful sights Rottnest has to offer in a short amount of time and in a personalised, peaceful way. Tom and Rachel our guides were sensational, knowledgeable and friendly. We would highly recommend this tour and found it especially great with our children.
A beautiful and relaxed way to get to know the island and see selected highlights. Due to a knee injury we had to stop our bike ride on single bikes as the unexpectedly hilly roads turned out to be too stressful for my daughter-in-law's knee. The Rikschatour was just the right solution! Very nice guide with background information and tips and very relaxed in the summer heat drive over the island. Highly recommended! Good luck with your young company! Annika and Thomas
Favourite time and so unique! We easily fit two adults and two kids, thought the driver was gonna struggle but they’re electric so it seemed to be a breeze. The canopy shaded us from the hot sun and there were ample toilet and drink stops. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Rottnest.
This was such a well organized and beautiful tour. We'd been recommended to visit the island but thought we were going to have the cycle it ourselves, which, after doing this tour, we realized would have been a damn nightmare. We saw such beauty whilst sitting back in such comfort. If you're going to do Rottnest Island, I certainly recommend doing it this way. We only had the 1 day on the island, but got to see the sights and still get back for a good few drinks before the evening ferry.
My friend and i tried out this new tour and had such a great time, saved a lot of energy and still got to see the highlights of the entire island. Thanks so much to our rider!! Super rexommend if you go to rotnest!
This a great way to see Rotto, our friendly driver Max took us to beautiful places around the Island allowing us to stop to take scenic photos along the way as we got to learn lots about this stunning island. Awesome experience!!
