Visitation records are redefining the traditional peak season for Rottnest Island with more than 80,000 visitors flocking to the island in March 2018.
Additional ferry services and value for money offerings by ferry operators has played a role, with visitation by ferry up 37 per cent compared with the same month last year.
This marks the sixth consecutive month of increasing visitor numbers by ferry since October 2017, and Rottnest Island has already recorded a 15 per cent overall increase in visitation to March compared with the previous year.
The State Government and the Rottnest Island Authority have explored avenues to create value for money experiences for all visitors, such as the same day return, free island admission deal for children which is now in place until September 2018.
