We had a super day on Rottnest Island - in the end declining the bikes and doing the 'hop on/hop off' bus instead. It was gorgeous weather and we did some walking between bus stops and completed the circuit of the whole island. Also spent time on one of the fabulous beaches and enjoyed a picnic. And we met the quokkas....

Our group throughly enjoyed the experience at Jewel cave. From the moment we arrived all the staff were welcoming and had a very positive attitude. The guide had a depth of knowledge and related information to all levels, enhancing our experience. We would recommend this tourist spot.

I did the tour of the Jewel Cave 40 years ago, and was very impressed how much better it was this time, especially the information from the guide, the walk ways and the facilities.

We we're lucky to get the guide all to ourselves so it was like a private tour so we got to take the cave in without a full school holiday group 😁

We had the most amazing day on Rottnest. We hired bikes and rode around the island to all the best beach and snorkelling spots. The staff on the tour were all super friendly and helpful sorting out our bike hire. Would highly recommend and use this tour again! It made for easy booking and planning and we had such an incredible day! Thank you!
