    Rottnest Express did cheap tuesdays but can't seem to find on their website now. Best call them to see if the deal is still active. It was around 50% off compared to normal fare.

        It's called Telethon Tuesdays. Here's a link to the deal on the Telethon website, but the "book now" button results in a broken link on the Rottnest Express page so perhaps they no longer run this offer.

        Thanks to Rottnest Express & The Rottnest Island Authority you can discover Rottnest Island with "Telethon Tuesdays". For every person who travels to Rottnest Island on any Tuesday, $1 will be donated to Telethon.

          It was in this morning's Google's News that the online booking link is broken and they are losing big tourist numbers as a result of only being able to accept phone bookings. The media is spinning it as "After spending so much on Roger Federer cuddling a Quokka for its Campaign how can they justify not having an working online booking site?"…. Hope that helps.

      I've done the Rotto swim a few times and it ain't a cheap way to get there.

    If you wait for another 5 billion or so years when the sun's supply of hydrogen runs out and begins to turn into a red giant, you'll be able to walk to Rottnest for free as all the oceans will have evaporated.

    We recently went over for the day, paid full price. They sent us an email afterwards including "As a thank you, we would like to provide you with a discount code which will give you a 20% discount for all SeaLink Ferries and 10% off any Captain Cook Cruises Product. Please use code: REPEAT when booking in the future."
    I obviously haven't tried it, but good luck, I hope it works for you.
