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!
