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.
Lovely

5.00A lovely, sunny crossing. We sat out on deck and got to experience the wind in our hair. Rottnest itself was an experience, we chose the hop on-hop off bus, which took us all the way out to the West end where we got to experience the seals up close. We chose some beaches to swim and snorkel on. How wonderful. The water glistened. Some sections we walked, and were joined by many cyclists. We came across some quokka, they are so used to people that they did not care. It was a magical day but we should have stayed over. Did not have time for the museum it would have been very interesting.
Don't miss Rottnest Island 💯💯

5.00Rottnest island is a location not to be missed if you are in Western Australia. We had a great experience on board the boat to the island. Even though viator doesn't show all their trip times, I was able to change my return time to a time that was more suitable to us without any extra charge when I received my tickets. I would certainly use this service again and I am pleased with the experience that I have with viator in helping me to find local experiences to participate in
Great experience
