Self guided tour. But everything went smoothly from Terrie picking us up in plenty of time for ferry from our hotel, to ferry times and crossing and back again. Wish I would have checked in to staying in the island as 5 hours wasn’t long enough to soak in the beauty of the island. Loved it and definitely hire a bike or take the hop on off bus to see more than the settlement.

Memorable

Mary_L, May 2024

It was a day spent with my brother for his 66th birthday. The weather was fine, sailing was smooth. The boat was well maintained, clean, staff were very happy and friendly. There were many things to do and see while on the island. A very memorable day for both of us. Thankyou all

Rottnest Rocks!!

Joy_R, Apr 2024

The whole trip was fantastic from getting on the boat with a bike I’d hired, out across the water to the island. All the different places I visited … some by bike, others via the hop-on-hop-off bus. Everything was just spectacular, and the weather was just perfect.

Wonderful trip

Sunisa_R, Apr 2024

Fast and convenient trip. Recommend to hire a bicycle before boarding to explore every corner in the island

Awesome trip

Lucy_S, Apr 2024

The island was so beautiful and we enjoyed the hop on hop off bus service. It was as fun seeing the quokka’s. I can’t believe how tame they are.

Great trip

Amazing

Fiona_e, Jan 2024

Everything went so well and very smooth. The staff were very friendly and informative. I will definitely book again.

Stunning Views and beaches.

Sharon_T, Dec 2023

Beautiful beaches and snorkelling. Great restaurants and scenery. Accomodation was lacking in comfort and felt slapdash. The quakes are adorable.

Nice and easy pace

Nattalie_G, Aug 2023

A stunning day Mid-August, not too hot and not too cold. Booked the hop on/ hop off bus intending to go right around the island first and pick places to go next. Decided to get off at the inland Lighthouse and walked up the easy grade. Olga the guide in the lighthouse was very informative and took us to the top, explaining all the way. Stunning pictures taken. We returned to the bus stop and continued our journey back to the settlement. Had lunch and wondered around the shops, sculptures, waterfront and jetty. Returned at 4.30pm to the ferry, nice and easy pace.

Jeanette_E, Aug 2023

Rottnest is absolutely beautiful. The hop on hop off bus was great. Would have been good to have an alternative time to return to the mainland.

Fantastic

Humberto_D, Jul 2023

I’ve fallen in love with the beaches. It was nice to see in how good condition is and clean. Quokkas are lovely and people very respectful with the bikes

Trip to Rottnest

Michelle_W, Apr 2023

No fuss. Quick and easy to board. Took a little longer to get off but that is completely understandable as the ferry was at capacity. Great experience. Rottness Island was fantastic.

Family day out

Alan_G, Mar 2023

The ferry trip was fun, and sailed on time. It was a lovely day out, it was sunny but not too hot, and a very pleasant day out.

Rottnest, so much to see and do, without breaking the bank.

Marylee_S, Feb 2023

The occasion was my sons 25th birthday which coincided with the freo to Rottnest swim, the island was packed with festivities and people. The weather was beautiful and the water was even more so, for so many people packed on the beach with hundreds of boats and vessels moored along the island the crowds were amazingly well behaved. 2nd year in a row, I’d definitely do it again.

Quokkas Bus trip around the island Lots of eating experiences and toilet facilities. Over priced clothing and souvenirs

Hot day at Rotto

Christine_M, Dec 2022

Getting there quickly and smoothly. The hop on hop off bus was the way to get around the island. Biking was too hard in the hot weather.

Was an awesome experience...

Sonia_M, Nov 2022
