We didn't do any activity except visiting Pinky's Beach. The water and the sand was soft and crispy. Not crowded which we really liked Defintely would love to come back and visit the museum and do the bike when we can. The history of the island is very important to Acknowledge

Our bus driver was fantastic, very knowledgeable with some comical antics that made us all laugh. Comfortable coach too. The ferry trip was good too, lovely crew and young man at the booking office was very helpful as we missed the ferry as I thought we were on a later one. All in all a fantastic day out at a beautiful island and the Quokkas were the icing on the cake

The weather was great, the waters were calm, I was so surprised how everything works so well on the island- great infrastructure. Awesome bus trip around the island- (we decided to just do the loop as I'm on crutches) lovely meal at the restaurant and got to see the Quokka's!

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 very friendly and helpful staff for starters.My grandson absolutely loved the the big swells on the way back to Fremantle. The Sealink Capricornia handled it perfectly. Lastly, we all slept 🛌 well that night.

Apr 2025Verified booking
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

What a fantastic day we had, weather was amazing and Rottnest Island is beautiful and full of history. The fast ferry from Hilary's Boat Harbour was a great trip, and our tour guide "Robbo" was so knowledgeable and funny. This tour was a great way to see the island.

Arriving on the vessel my daughter was walking through the aisle looking for a seat when the captain stopped her turning left to push past only for me to see an opening in the floor, the captain then grabbed the hatch door and sealed up the opening, I can't only imagine the worst if my daughter kept walking and fell down that opening who's knows the injuries she would if received if not death, I have worked in construction for 25yrs and have seen two men fall through a penetration in the floor, 1 passed away and the other broke his back, this to me was the worst situation I didn't think could happen on what I thought would be a closely followed safety regime to make sure all passengers are safe, this happened on the 9/01 on the 7.30 ferry, although nothing happened to her only i feel that the captain remembered a procedure wasn't followed through hence his hastily movements to stop her, I hope this incident never happens again for the safety of future passengers, my daughter told me not to mention this incident but seeing injuries from this situation first hand i was compelled to, otherwise the trip was great and would still travel to Rottnest island as I'm sure it won't happen again, I only put food and water because it wouldnt let me submit the reply

the explanation of guide of ferry back to perth is understandable for foreigner. I enjoyed the cruise in spite of bad weather. My disappointment a little bit is no prior announcement that we move to freemantle by bus firstly and exchange the ferry.

Great boat ride Perth to Rottnest. Sat on top deck on return- enjoyed it all. Bus tour around island very good. Informative, interesting & numerous commentary by bus driver. Able to get off bus to take photos in few places. Didn't find instructions as to how to get to bus departing place very clear. Time in Rottnest after bus tour & before 4.30pm departure for a wander around the bay, museum & shops. I had a great lunch at Rottnest Hotel overlooking the beach. Ferry staff all very friendly & helpful. I would recommend this ferry & bus tour if only have one day to visit Rottnest Island

We loved our driver. Very knowledgeable and entertaining. Made sure we got to see a Quokka in the wild. Coach comfortable, modern and clean. Great way to know what's available on the island so you can then come back to your favourite spots.
