Our guide Peter was very knowledgeable and passionate about the preservation of the cave. He knew so much history and showed us all the amazing spots. We truly enjoyed our tour with him as our guide, especially my overseas friends. Thank you 🙏

Experience was fabulous! Peter our guide was very knowledgeable and made the tour lots of fun. As for Heads Out - I accidentally booked an extra adult and tried to ring them about a refund but couldn't speak to anybody. A text message came up and said seeing the experience was over I wouldn't be getting a refund. I wouldn't go through them again!

The Jewel Cave was the most beautiful cave we've ever been. Our guide was very knowledgeable and showed great care towards members of our group who had mobility issues. Checking in and ticketing were easy. I was disappointed that we did not get the Discounts10 as per the online advertisement.

    The booking system was easy to navigate, received very clear instructions on where to board the ferry. The ferry journey was quick between Fremantle and Rottnest. The island is beautiful and well worth a visit.
