Rottnest Air-Taxi

Joy flights over Rottnest Island take off multiple times per day, offering stunning aerial views. Flight transfers between Perth and the island are also available.

The team at Rottnest Air-Taxi have been flying over the island for more than 25 years. Each flight fits just you, your loved one and the pilot, creating an intimate experience. You’ll find low-key, competent and professional pilots; they won’t distract you, but will provide the best possible views and service.  

To get a taste of what it’s like to travel the island by air, choose the 10-minute joy flight. During this short but scenic journey, there is enough time to circumnavigate the perimeter of Rottnest Island. Your pilot will complete a full orbit of the island or travel in a figure-eight configuration, depending on the day.

The 20-minute scenic flight offers an airborne tour that will fill you with awe as your pilot completes two full orbits of the island. The first time around you’ll soar high in the sky, then on the second lap the pilot will lower the plane for a more detailed view.

During the 35-minute option, there’s ample time to travel from Rottnest Island to Perth. Along the way, see the sights of Western Australia’s capital city including Optus Stadium, the Swan River and Fremantle.
