5.00Great ferry ride from Perth to Rottnest, bicycle hire also arranged. Return to Fremantle to have a look around. Informative journey, ferry very clean and good amenities on board. Straight back to childhood with the complimentary Zooper Dooper ☺️

4.00Efficient trip from Fremantle to Rottnest Island. They transferred my booking from a previous date since they do not offer refunds so glad we were able to reschedule. Ferries on time

5.00Wonderful customer service and chilled staff. I called before booking to confirm we could take our small carry on luggage on board and the staff member made me feel confident that we could travel with ease with our luggage - and we did! Did not get the same vibe when I called Rottnest Express so that's why I ended up booking with Sea link. Sea link are very efficient too. Highly recommend this company.
Sealink came up trumps.

5.00What a great place! Sealink did everything expected and made it a safe, interesting and enjoyable trip. Good boat with space, comfort and facilities. I had a problem with the online booking but when I phone they could not have been more helpful and resolved it quickly. Rotnet is a really good place to visit but take the weekend if you get the chance.
Excellent Ferry service

5.00We booked online for four people to travel to Rottnest. Booking was great. At checkin, the staff were amazing. We had a family member needing assistance and all were forthcoming and helpful (chairs, water etc). The ride over and back was seamless. Great commentary and info both ways. The zooper doopers were a great touch. Well recommended to go via SeaLink. Thanks for a great day
An interesting day out of the city…

5.00The ferry ride was easy. Visitor’s info office was helpful. There were no electric bikes available, so we opted for the hop on hop off bus which allowed us to comfortably discover the whole island in about 5 hours getting off at at least 6 stops. We did not see a quokka along our route until we got back to the restaurant/stores area near the pier where they were nibbling on vegetation or perfectly standing still amongst all the visitors. Quite a funny scene. We were there in the off season, so we can only imagine how busy and hot it could get which leads us to conclude that if you are not planning on snorkelling or swimming, in our humble opinion, we would skip Rottnest island and go for a nice walk near the ocean instead…

5.00Great day on Rottnest Island starting off with prompt departure at 8am and arrival 8.30am. SeaLink have an easy online booking website which allowed us to book bikes which were available to us on arrival. Glad we did because we could start riding straight away. Booked the 2.30pm return as we were on a cruise ship and needed to be back in time. Saw lots of Quokkas whilst we had lunch. Thanks Rottnest and SeaLink.
Very pleasant and efficient cruising experience, definitely recommend.

5.00Had a fabulous trip from Elizabeth Quay to Rottnest and returned to Fremantle after a couple of days. Was great to cruise down the Swan River and see the sights with light hearted commentary. The return trip was efficient with our luggage already being there ready for collection. We didn’t arrange bikes through the ferry, was not a problem either way but could get extra things like snorkels etc by hiring on the island.
Great day trip to Rottnest Island

5.00Wonderful day trip to the beautiful, quaint island of Rottnest. We loved going around the island on the hop on hop off bus. Stopped at the lighthouse & was told about it's history & advised on a nearby walk by friendly staff. Relaxed at the gorgeous Geordie Bay and swam in in the tranquil waters. The highlight was seeing the quokkas & the Rottnest bakery pasties. Also a yummy ice cream at Geordie Bay.
