    In all honesty I was very disappointed with the bus “tour”. It was not hop off and back on. One hop off and that was it, whilst they did stop for some photo ops in bus.. this was just not what I was expecting for so much extra. Definitely don’t buy the lunch option either. If doing again, I’d hire a bike or pay for local hop off hop on.. disappointed wasted my time.

    I am glad I did a booking for Rottnest. Trip was so relaxing and every bit of it is exciting. Rottnest Island is definitely worth visiting for.

    Rottnest Island is a wonderful place. I expected to have to look very hard to find quokkas, but they turned out to be everywhere (lovely animals). The bus tour with Ella and Simon was interesting and informative, as well as the crew on board the Express Sea Eagle. The boat ride to the Island was rather bumpy due to strong winds, heaavy rain and rough sea. But the weather improved as we approached the island and turned into most beautiful sunny day. Definitely worth the visit.

  • Great trip, plenty to see...

    Great trip, plenty to see and enjoy especially the Quokka’s. Bus Tour guides were excellent and full of information. Enjoyed walking around and exploring the history.

    Viator cancelled our bus tour two days before and only refunded $50 each. When the total for the ferry and tour adventure for 2 was $389. I know the ticket for ferry and onto Rottnest island is $99 each. Doesn’t add up. Not happy.
