Sunset Sailing at Rottnest Island
Watch the sky come alive as the day turns into night, with Bathurst Lighthouse and the magnificent Indian Ocean as stunning backdrops. A stunning perspective you won’t find elsewhere or from sitting at the beach!
Enjoy a complimentary glass of bubbles and shared antipasto as we hoist the sails – stopping for a refreshing dip for those that want a quick cool down on balmy nights. Our cargo net is awaiting for any takers. Imagine your very own salt water waterfall as we sail along into the sunset with only the sounds of the breeze in the sails. Ahhhh… Bliss!

Tour Location
History Of Rottnest
The island with a thousand stories...The geographical history of Rottnest Island has been dominated by changes in sea level. These changes occurred either as sea water became trapped and released when ice sheets advanced and retreated, or as the land slowly rose and fell in response to changing stresses in the earth's crust.It is believed that Rottnest Island was separated from the mainland 7,000 years ago. The sea level rose, cutting the Island off from the land mass, and it is now the largest in a chain of islands (which includes Garden and Carnac Islands) on the continental shelf opposite Perth. These islands all are formed of limestone rocks with a thin covering of sand. The limestone base of Rottnest Island has an effect on all life on the Island, including the types of plants which can grow on it, the species of animals which can feed upon the plants, and the extent to which humans can make use of the Island.- Glass of sparkling on arrival
