Rottnest Island Tandem Skydive with Perth Ferry

12 Reviews

1 day

Overview

This package combines the big-ticket part of a Rottnest trip with the practical bit already sorted. You’ll take a tandem skydive over the island, with return ferry travel from Barrack Street in Perth included, along with island admission. It’s a high-cost splurge rather than a budget activity, but if skydiving is on your list, the setting is hard to ignore: views over Rottnest, the WA coastline and back towards Perth, followed by a beach landing.

Free cancellation

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Why backpackers love it

For travellers short on time, having the return ferry and island admission bundled in makes the day easier to organise. The draw here is obvious: you get the brag-worthy jump, serious aerial views and a beach landing in one trip, without needing to piece together the transport yourself. It’s not aimed at every backpacker budget, but for people keen to spend on one standout day near Perth, it keeps the logistics simple.

What to expect

You’ll travel from Perth to Rottnest by ferry, then head out for your tandem skydive with a professional instructor. After the flight up, you’ll jump for up to 66 seconds of free fall before slowing into roughly five minutes under the parachute. From there, it’s all about the scenery, with open views across the island and coastline before landing on the beach. Skydiving is weather dependent, so you’ll need to check conditions at least an hour before your ferry departure. Moderate fitness is required, and there are age, weight and medical restrictions to be aware of before booking.
