Rottnest Express is pleased to announce the return of its much-loved Red Rider Annual Pass for 2026, giving Western Australian residents the chance to enjoy 10 return trips to Wadjemup Rottnest Island for as little as $189 per person — plus exclusive savings across the island.
Now offering more benefits and extra value, the 2026 Red Rider Annual Pass gives locals even more reasons to enjoy a year of adventure on Rottnest Island. Whether it’s a spontaneous day trip or a weekend getaway, Red Rider members will save money, and take advantage of unique on-island experiences.
With the late-night ferry service back for the summer season, it’s even easier for Red Rider pass holders to make the most of their membership — whether that’s staying longer to enjoy a sunset, having dinner with friends, or simply soaking up the island’s relaxed atmosphere for longer before heading home. The service perfectly complements the flexibility of the Red Rider Annual Pass, giving locals more ways to enjoy Rottnest, more often.
“Our Red Rider Annual Pass gives WA residents the freedom and flexibility to visit Rottnest up to 10 times within a 12-month period,” says Niko Peranovic, General Manager of Rottnest Express. “Each year, more locals join the Red Rider program to access incredible value and exclusive offers”
“We all love a trip to Rotto — and with this pass, you can save up to $590 if you use all ten return trips. For families looking for an even better deal, the Red Rider pass complements our Quokka Club, which offers kids free ferry travel with Rottnest Express. For a family of four, with 2 Red Rider adults and 2 Quokka Club kids, it would cost less than $70 for a fantastic day out!” Peranovic added.
In addition to ferry savings, valid Red Rider Annual Pass holders can enjoy a range of exclusive member benefits and discounts with Rottnest Island partners, including 10% off food and beverages at Pinky’s Beach Club, 10% off all Rottnest Island tours with Segway Tours, $10 adult tickets at Rottnest Island Mini Golf, and more.
The Red Rider Annual Pass is available exclusively to Western Australian residents, with passes available for $189. The mandatory government Rottnest Island admission fee is payable for both Red Rider members and Quokka Club kids prior to each journey.
