Shame on Sealink

4.00We and many others were disappointed that the historic train was not operating during our visit. This was an expensive tour and amongst other things the historic train ride was a major attraction for most. Not withstanding that Sealink posted a disclaimer on their web side stating that a bus may be substituted due to maintenance of the train, there were no such issues as we found out by talking to several staff who work on the island. We were told that the train was operational however not able to be used due to extensive rail track repairs. Apparently the repairs commenced several weeks ago, before we booked. Again from what we were told Sealink should have been aware of the maintenance works . It is very disappointing that Sealink didn't notify traveler's and either offered a discount or a refund.
Rottnest Island in a day!!!!

5.00Rottnest Island is great. We took the Grand Island Tour which took in the whole island with a light lunch and was a great way to see the place in a day. Barney was our guide and was really wonderful and welcoming. And off course we got to see the ever cute and curious Quokkas. Definitely a must do when in Perth/Fremantle. There plenty of places to eat but you can easily take your own snacks and drinks. Just remember the ferries run to a strict timetable so make sure you are on the the jetty as per there instructions for departure to and from the Island.
great place

5.00Very enjoyable trip and tour of Rottnest Island with Wayne. The ferry crossings were quite bumpy but ok. Due to the timing of the tour I had time to explore the area around the jetty, having a wander around Garden Lake and seeing some quokkas in the wild. The tour of the tunnels at Olive Hill was very interesting and then the coach tour of the island was enjoyable. The chicken salad wrap for lunch was very tasty.
Highly recommend the Grand Tour

5.00We had a beautiful day on Rottnest Island doing the Ferry across and the Grand tour. From the train at the beginning to the tasty wrap and cookie and finally the tour around the island everything was excellent. The tour is also extremely good value for money.

4.00Ferry was great. Had time to explore the island a little on our own before the bus tour. Tour very well run, and very informative. Saw pretty much the whole island, and the lunch included was very good. Saw a few Quokkas which was great! The beaches we saw on the tour were stunning but found it was a long time driving round, and not as many stops as I'd hoped for photos and to explore. The children did start to get bored, as it was a lot of driving, but that was our only disappointment.
Missed Quokka
