Rottnest Island Tandem Skydive with Hillarys Ferry

ToursAdventure tours

4 hours to 1 day

Overview

This package combines return ferry travel from Hillarys Boat Harbour with a tandem skydive over Rottnest Island. It includes island admission, your tandem instructor and a beach landing, so most of the key logistics are sorted in one booking. It is a big-ticket activity rather than a budget day out, but if you want the full jump experience with the island scenery added in, this keeps things straightforward.

Why backpackers love it

For travellers short on time, bundling the ferry, island admission and skydive into one booking makes planning easier. The beach landing and island views give it more than just the standard adrenaline hit, and the Hillarys departure is handy if you are staying in Perth’s northern suburbs. It is best suited to travellers happy to spend more for a headline experience rather than those keeping things strictly cheap.

What to expect

You’ll travel to Rottnest on the ferry from Hillarys, then take a scenic flight up to jump altitude with views across the island, the WA coastline and back towards Perth. The tandem jump includes up to 66 seconds of free fall, followed by about five minutes under parachute with clear views below before landing on the beach. Skydiving is weather dependent, so you need to confirm conditions at least an hour before your ferry departure on the day.
