We took the blue boat over which was great. We met up with our tour guide at the train station. He was very welcoming and knowledgeable. Lunch was nice and after the tour back at the village we did meet quite a few quockas the whole tour was great. We had a really good day. Would highly recommend this tour for sure.

An awesome tour. We learnt about the history, we were in awe of the important role that Rottnest Island had and has. Beautiful beaches were we saw whales breaching and Seals sunbathing. Quokas 😍 so cute and not shy. Train ride and Bus was fun and informative. Plenty of laughs along the way. Highly recommend this tour.

The tour itself is amazing!! There's a catch tough. The tour is advertised as starting in Perth but that is not true. It actually leaves from Fremantle so be prepared to catch an Uber.

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.

Reach Rottnest Island, a biodiverse natural reserve, in approx 30 mins with round-trip ferries departing from Fremantle.

This ferry is your gateway to an epic wildlife show! Spot New Zealand's fur seals, seabirds, seasonal humpback whales, and dolphins frolicking about.

Set your timetable on the island and explore as you wish. Visit the museum or lighthouse, go snorkeling, or even lounge on the white sandy beaches.

Rottnest Island’s blend of adventure, history, and natural beauty makes it a perfect destination for cycling enthusiasts, history buffs, and those seeking a peaceful escape.

Fun fact: Willem de Vlamingh stumbled upon the island in the 1600s and thought the quokkas were giant rats, hence the name "Rottnest" which translates to "rat's nest" in Dutch.
