Amazing to see and experience- but the life saver of the day is the staff that were a big help by being flexible with our booking. Sometimes with kids things just don't go to plan- but the amazing staff had our backs! We visited Jewel and Mammoth and looking forward to visiting the two caves next year on our annual trip down south. Our tour guides were knowledgeable and charming, very impressed overall!

What a place! Hiring or taking a bike is absolutely the way to go. I caught the ferry which gets you there in 40-45 mins to the harbour from the settlement area. Which has a great variety of food outlets and information centres as to where to go. I made my way around to the basin to snorkel the aqua and turquoise water where there is also reefs and then further on to Catherine's beach. Quokkas just sit in bushes and are chilled. All I can say 5 hours was not enough and I'll definitely be back. Loved it.

Rottnest Island was an amazing day out with friends. The ferry ride over was calm and scenic, and the hop on hop off bus made exploring the island easy and relaxed. We stopped at beautiful beaches, enjoyed lunch and drinks at different venues, and soaked up the laid‑back atmosphere. Visiting the lighthouse was a standout with incredible views, and learning about the island’s history along the way added real depth to the experience. And of course, seeing the quokkas was a highlight as always. They bring so much charm to the day. A brilliant experience from start to finish with the perfect mix of scenery, history, wildlife, and easy exploring.
