Visitor Centre

Ask the helpful and friendly staff for maps and information about attractions, tours, bus services, bike hire and mooring rentals.

If you are staying in Rottnest Island Authority accommodation you can check in at the Visitor Centre from 2pm daily.

You can also enquire about and book many of the Island tours, products and services. Rottnest Island Visitor Centre is located in Thomson Bay near the main jetty.

Lost Property Service
The Visitor Centre also runs a lost property service. If you have lost any valuable items on the Island, you can register your lost property by completing a Lost and Found Property Form or check to see if your lost item has been handed in.

Whilst you're at the Visitor Centre, also pick up a copy of the current Essential Guide. This way you can keep a full guide to the Island (including a map!) in your pocket as you explore the Island's beauty.

Equipment Transfer Service
Kayaks, Paddleboards and fishing rods can be transferred from the Main Jetty to accommodation units for an additional charge of $12.50 per item each way. There is no need to pre-book. Simply bring the article to the end of the jetty opposite the "welcome" sign and drop into the Visitor Centre to pay for your labels.
