Pleasantly surprised by the size of the island. We took the bayseeker tour which was fantastic very scenic and the guide's knowledge was very extensive and very accommodating with photo stops. We saw quite a few kwokkas which were very cute. We enjoyed the whole experience a great day we are visting from Brisbane and will recommend it to anyone we know coming to Perth.

A nice smooth trip over and back. A highlight was the bus trip where the island's history was explained and points of interest shown. Of course, the highlight was the the quokkas.

I loved how much knowledge Kevin our driver had about the island. Very interesting. Last time my husnand and I were there was January 1981! We are from Ipswich Qld.

Fantastic trip down the Swan River from Perth's CBD to Rottnest via Fremantle. The commentary from the crew along the way was excellent and very informative for first time visitors to Perth. Rottnest itself was fab, so beautiful. We choose a 1.5 ht bus tour right around the island. The driver was fantastic and told us the history of the settlement, so worth the money for those of us who had only one day on the island. There are many nice places to stay on Rottnest from budget through to five star, it made me wish we had chosen to stay a while longer ourselves. The little Quokkas for which the island is famous were numerous around the village center. There are signs up not to feed them as our food makes them sick. All up a great day out on Rottnest, would thoroughly recommend the Sealink ferry from Perth CBD in combination with the bus tour of the island for those who only have one day. For those with more time on the island the hop on hop off buses might work well also.

Excellent service from start to finish. The crew at Hillarys was very welcoming and the ferry was spacious and comfortable. Being able to park for free and enjoy a coffee at the harbor before boarding made the morning very relaxed. The return trip was just as smooth. I wouldn't use any other service to get to Rottnest

Enjoy the tranquility and soak up epic Indian Ocean views as you set sail for Rottnest Island, a wildlife wonderland just a ferry hop away, round-trip transfers included.

See adorable quokkas and the variety of wildlife that calls Rottnest Island home on the bus tour through the island as your guide tells you more about them.

History buffs, unite! Dive into the rich heritage of Rottnest by visiting memorials at the Rottnest Museum, Lomas Cottage, and the Pilot Boathouse.

Beyond the famous quokkas, you’ll encounter a wide range of wildlife, including peacocks, bats, and birds. You may even spot a fur seal or two.

Fun fact: Rottnest was called "Rotte Nest" by Dutch explorers who mistook quokkas for giant rats.
