  We did the express ferry to the island. Decided to buy the hop on hop off bus though and didn’t use the bus tour as part of thi viator package. We were able to snorkel in 3 locations which is what we wanted to do. Probably wasted a few bucks to buy the h-on-off and void the tour already paid for, but worth it.

• Highly recommend

  Rottnest Island is beautiful with clear blue waters and the added attraction of the quokkas. The ferry ride to the island takes approximately 30 minutes from the ferry terminal in Fremantle. We took the guided bus tour around the island which I would recommend since it gives great context to the history of the island with stops along the way for photo opportunities. Ella, our guide, did a great job together with Larry our driver.

  An enjoyable day overall, although the optional hotel pickup was a disaster because the bus didn’t turn up and hence required a speedy walk to the harbour. That said the rest worked like clockwork with a very informative guide and spectacular scenery stops. enough to do in the afternoon to fill in the time before boat departure.

  The knowledge that Eli had about the island was outstanding. Going in the bus allowed us to get away from the crowded over populated main area to really appreciate the beauty and history of the island

• A perfect escape from the world and a haven from nature.

  A perfect place to immerse yourself in nature and free yourself from constraints and stress. Ideally, you should have a two-day itinerary.

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

• A slight disappointed with Rottnest tour operators

  We came to Perth in search of the quokkas on Rottnest island. The seas were active on the Rottnest Express where we boarded on Elizabeth Quay and we arrived without any hiccups. We had already booked the island tour where we were looking forward to seeing the fury animals and had time to go for a short hop on hop off tour around the island to see the amazing beaches. Unfortunately there were a lot of delays along the way with man many delays, overcrowded in all stops with people wanting to get on and off and apparently they were short of buses or drivers which caused delays to go around the island. There were many people who needed assistance to get on the bus some having mobility requirements and therefore the bus driver had to place safety materials in front of the door and had to manually attach things to the bus to board some passengers. This must have been one of those days but when we finally arrived back at the central location to go on the tour to see the quokkas it was 15 mins late and all of us missed the bus. There were a few others also but they were unable to provide another bus or even arrange a quick transport to where that tour bus would be and we had asked for the refund which fell on deaf ears as apparently it was arranged by a third party and they said to get in touch with them so we contacted the operator who said it needs to refunded by Rottnest island. Well a lessen learnt I suppose. Rottnest did say that they could provide a credit next time we visit however we were from Sydney. Thanks but a bit out of the way. NB we managed to see a couple up close outside the souvenir shop at least

  The bus tour with Eli and Larry was very good. Eli was very knowledgeable about the entire island and it's flora and fauna, also entertaining. I would suggest that earlier notification of tour time for the bus would be better so one could plan the rest of ones day better. We only got it the day before.Fee was fine. Fremantle Doctor in fine mettle.

• Wonderful bus tour wandering through Rottbest Island

  Our tour guide Sophia and driver Cos made our bus tour comfortable, informative and fun. Sophia's extensive knowledge related to Rottnest Island is impressive. She delivers the information with the ease of a great teacher teaching a cptivating field trip lesson. She is welcoming, easy to talk to with a voice and delivery that is a pleasure to listen to. Cos expertly navigated the bus safely around countless cyclists on narrow roads with frequent up and down grades. My son and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and highly recommend you enjoy it for yourself.
