Should we book Rottnest ferry and island bus tickets before checking the weather?

Monitor the forecast close to departure and keep a second possible day. Confirm the return ferry before committing to a long island walk.

Compare the island bus tour with hop-on transport using the current schedule and where you want to stop. Limited seats can matter more than the ferry on a busy day.

Check ferry capacity and cancellation terms for your dates. Booking ahead secures your preferred departure, while a flexible ticket may reduce weather anxiety.
