About This Tour
Journey to the historical Oliver Hill Guns and Tunnel Fortification on board the unique 64-seat Captain Hussey trolley train. This tour begins with a relaxing train ride passing some iconic and historical landmarks on the island. Then enjoy a 45 minute guided tour of the Guns and Tunnels - learn about the military history of Rottnest and the part it played during WW11. Please note the Guns and Tunnels tour is a physically demanding 45-minute tour with approximately 700 metres walking and 240+ uneven steps (equivalent to a 8-storey climb). There are no rest stops and no backtracking once inside. No carrying of children is permitted except for small infants in baby carriers (which allow the accompanying adult to have both hands free for the railings in the tunnels). Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult. The tour takes place in enclosed tunnels - please watch for low ceilings, uneven surfaces and other trip hazards - and follow guide instructions at all times.
