ITINERARYDOWNLOAD

GETTING THERETRANSPORT OPTIONS

For 5 days we swim, ride a bike, eat and repeat, enjoying some of the 63 secluded beaches and 20 stunning bays, sharing the islands history and unique beauty both above and below the water.

This trip is for those seeking a swim adventure with people who want to do the same. Each swim can be modified in length to meet your needs, with walking an option if you are tired. You won’t have to participate in each activity but the FOMO could be massive.

You do not require open water experience to come on this trip but do need to have enough fitness to ride up to 20km on a bike interspersed with swimming, have enough confidence to swim in deep water unaided and be willing to share a bathroom in your accommodation.

Great weather. Our itinerary cannot be fixed as weather conditions require us to be flexible however the beauty of Rottnest Island is that there is always a secluded beach and a safe sanctuary in which to swim, and our local knowledge will ensure we hit the best bits on the best days.
This is not a swim coaching holiday however we will give you some pointers to help your swimming, made easy in the crystal clear waters that lap the island.

The crystal clear turquoise waters of Wadjemup thrive with schools of tropical fish that follow the warm Leeuwin current and find home within the safety of the marine sanctuary. Every day we swim amongst the seagrass, kelp beds and white sandy bays; homes to over 135 species of tropical fish.

The predominant Leeuwin current ensures the water temperature is a few degrees warmer than the mainland, averaging 19-21 degrees in October and November.

Most days will begin with indulgence for your mind and body with a gentle stretch and morning swim.

After breakfast we will ride our bikes to one of the many beautiful beaches where we will swim and explore. A picnic lunch will be carried for you, leaving you the difficult choice of simply what to wear whilst you ride and swim.

Afternoon activities will be similar to the morning, except for Tuesday when you are free from midday to be still, go shopping, visit the museums or explore more beaches.

Swimming
As we are all different shapes and sizes, we all swim differently and at different paces. At some beaches we will swim a few km, at others a few 100m’s. You will have the opportunity to walk part of the way or watch if you don’t want to swim as far or can swim further if you want a challenge. There is no speed requirement for a swimming women holiday and Rottnest is no different. For safety reasons we aim to keep the group together and from time to time your guide may specify where you should enter the water. You won’t be judged for your speed or lack of but you will be encouraged.

Riding
This holiday requires some bike skills as we will be riding our way around the island immersing ourselves in the myriad of places to swim and snorkel. The cost of bike hire is included in the holiday and you can upgrade your bike with a basket to a bike with a motor and a basket if you wish. The cost is approx. $150 extra for an electric bike.

The most we will ride is approximately 20km in one day, broken up swims and eating along the way.

Eating
We work with local partners on the island as well as our favourite foodies, to ensure you have access to delicious, nutritious food throughout your stay. We provide breakfast provisions in your accommodation to start your day right. You will need to purchase only one lunch as we bring picnics to you at the beach. Dinners times are mostly shared long table affairs with the opportunity to enjoy stories of the days adventures. You only need to pay for your meal on the last night.
