Loved the Quokkas. The bus trip was really interesting and informative and the ship comfortable. The team called in advance to confirm our accessibility restrictions which was very welcome.

It was a good way to spend a day outside Perth City. Rotnest Island presents a unique experience not found in any other places. The friendly quokkas not afraid of human, the are free to roam around the island and amazing to see they went inside our cafe to find something to eat and the waitress was just using broom to usher it outside.

Went from Perth at 8.45 , time back was about 18.30 , ferry over was good although couldn't hear the commentary , the bus tour took you round the island and whilst showing your the beaches and scenery stopped only once for a short 15 minute walk . finished tour around 1.30pm - only ferry home to Perth was 5pm , from then on you can either hire a bike to tour the island yourself ( be aware this in not flat ) or walk to a beach and sunbathe. Weather not great on our trip however the 5pm ferry trip home felt too long , in the end we gratefully got on the 2.30 pm ferry to Fremantle and took the train back to Perth. Flies everywhere ( November trip ) Worth going but from Perth a bit tool long for us unless you want to go to a beach

Wonderful tour! Rottnest is divine. You can admire so many wonderful things from the boat, and on the bus tour you can see the island even better. Before and after the bus tour you have time to walk around Rottnest and explore the island at your leisure

All of it was brilliant and the bus tour was well worth doing. Plenty of variety for food and lovely scenery
