My ticketing experience with Headout was positive: easy to navigate my way around the site & delivery of eticket was excellent. Absolutely loved exploring Ngilgi Caves, seeing & learning about the different formations. Hubby is 84yrs & I'm 68 yrs, yet we managed the steps down & up because of the clever layout with benches to sit on in each resting spot. Because of the quality, we bought gifts in the store as well. Team was friendly & helpful. Honestly, this was the best 2-3 hrs spent and great value in all respects.

Great afternoon experience. We were 65 and my wife 63. She had a stroke 12 years ago and was uncertain if she would cope with the steps, but had a great time. Great handrails to help you climb the steps down and up. Fantastic rock formations. Nice and cool on a hot day. Very informative all the way around. Highly recommended

I enjoyed how unrestricted the tour was and how deep the caves went. The buildup of the information about how the caves were formed, the cave itself and the history afterwards creates a perfect experience. Quite a physical workout to walk so deep down and then back up.

Experience was fabulous! Peter our guide was very knowledgeable and made the tour lots of fun. As for Heads Out - I accidentally booked an extra adult and tried to ring them about a refund but couldn't speak to anybody. A text message came up and said seeing the experience was over I wouldn't be getting a refund. I wouldn't go through them again!

Having already developed an interest in thylocoleo, I was amazed to see the display on offer. I did wonder if perhaps you could provide more information (for others) about this truly unique mammal. i.e. the much smaller variation (600g) herbivorous version. And those in between!? Puts a whole new meaning around the term drop bears!?

Mammoth cave was AMAZING!!..a little bit tricky for kids younger than 4 that's for sure and tricky for the elderly as well because there's a lot of stairs especially on the way out but my mother in law made it even though she did have to stop a lot as she has bad hips. My partner had to carry our little one as it's definitely too much for any kid under 4 but we all really really enjoyed it and the headphones 🎧 were an awesome feature of the tour. We can't wait to attempt the other caves and it really was mind blowing.

It was a short boat trip to the island and the boat was cleaned. Related to the push bikes, they did not have any support/basket to leave the bag which was very inconvenient . It should be mentioned while the booking is done.

The trip was amazing! Had the best time in Rottnest Island with really great service at the ferry. Great hospitality and clear instructions overall. Do not understand why I got charged internacional transaction fee while buying the tickets though. Looks like an australian website, tickets bought in Australia with an Australian card..

The tour guide was really informative and felt really relaxed with her driving. The boat ride over was so smooth i didnt even know i was on the water. I was thankful we were able to catch a earlier boat ride back the same day and nothing was an issue. The only thing i felt was lacking were seats in/around the main harbour. As i am of pension age it was hard to find a seat to rest while walking around some parts of the island after our tour.

The Lighthouse tour was a breathtaking experience. The top view is incredible; the air and wind is so fresh and clean; the ocean and cape view is gorgeous. The tour guide - Nathan was fab, loved his local community history knowledge. Nathan was very informative and full of anecdotes and good humour stories. An enjoyable experience, thoroughly recommended it.

My ticketing experience was flawless and quick with no issues . The tour itself was absolutely amazing. The guide was knowledgeable and inclusive of the entire group. She was really patient and kind especially with the children making it fun and interactive. It was apparent that she loved her job. I apologise for not remembering the guides name as we did so many tours and the names all seemed to blend into one. Thank you.

The tour was very good. What I was unhappy with is the International transaction fee of $ 13.69. Headout seems to be Berlin based & causes this. The tour is in Australia & I booked here, so I expect to only pay the cost in Australian dollars. This fee is a disinsentive & there should be a warning of it during booking. A refund would be nice please. John Bowmer

The tour was very well organised with Ted who made sure we were organised for our train trip. After a tour of the gun and underground with excellent guide Peter, we were met by Ted who took us on a tour of the beaches and told us a brief history of the island. Very interesting. We were amused not to se one Quokka!! One suggestion I would make would be to put up more signage directing those walking to the Settlement Train station. We were not sure if we were heading in the right direction and how long the walk would be. There was a couple who did have walking difficulties and felt the same as us. Weren't sure if heading in the right direction etc. All in all parking at Fremantle, the ease of the ferry ride, plenty of places to buy refreshments, great tour made for a great day out. Thank you from these Sydneysiders!
