Fun island, manual bike even with gears and challenge on the mostly hilly terrain. Don't follow directions from Viator, input Freemantle address manually. We were sent to Perth even though we stayed in Freemantle. Parking affordable $12/day at Port. Unable to add river cruise from Freemantle. Probably worth the price to add. Lots of quokkas, warm ocean water, cooling breezes and delicious food and drink at concession. Small free museum interesting. We were lucky to rebook for earlier return.

Amazing day out for anyone interested in the natural beauty of WA. Our guide did an amazing job explaining everything, from the formation of sand dunes to the pinnacle desert. The stargazing experience was fantastic, too. We’ve never seen a sky so clear. Again, accompanied by explanations from the tour guide. Highly recommend.

It was fun. A bit windy but I really enjoyed the freedom of cycling, exploring and snorkelling at our own pace. And the most important! Got to see Quokkas and a variety of fish

Great day: a few take-aways: the ferry ride was great however a bit bumpy after leaving Freemantle. I did the bike option, was a nice way to experience the Island. It's windy out there and the bike not top tuned so better have good legs. Saw only a few quokkas riding around the island however there are plenty of them at the Settlement (point for the ferry), so do the ride and spend some time at the main square watching the cute quokkas! The Island itself is stunning.
