This was a great way to travel from Fremantle to Rottnest. The whole experience was seamless, from booking online to checking in and even booking bicycles at the last minute (on board, dependent upon availability). The staff were all super friendly and kept us moving safely from dock-to-dock. The ferry was clean and there was lots of room for travellers, buggies, bikes, wagons and luggage. We would definitely use SeaLink again.

Great experience with Sealink travelling to Rottnest Island. Very well organised and lovely staff. The addition of a zooper dooper icy pole was nice too

It was amazing journey as well as staff are so friendly. In terms of the cleanness’s it was good and over all it was good service. For my recommendation if your management could offer some water while travelling back and forth.

Organised trip from start to finish! It was easy to exchange tickets at the sealink counter and we were able to change the return to an earlier time.

Staff were friendly. Boat was clean. The trip was good. They even provided all with free ice blocks during the trip to and back as a mean to help anyone with sea sickness. Very good service

Ferry was fast and effcient. Vessel was clean and tidy. Unfortunately it was a rough journey over (obviously not sealinks fault) and on the return trip seating was tricky with a pram.

The ferry is modern and comfortable, there is good space on deck and also inside. They give you a little complimentary ice cream. The price may be high but it is an island worth going to!!!

Quick, comfortable and easy way to get to beautiful Rottnest Island from Fremantle. Friendly and helpful crew. Sit outside if you can, for the best experience. Recommend arranging bike hire in advance, to save time on arrival
