4.00Good tour, informative, bus trip went too long and was a bit repetitive. Would have preferred more time at the lighthouse. No time for exploring or climbing it.
Great day out on Rottnest

4.00Choppy trip over but then a lovely done day. Saw lots of quokkas and really enjoyed the guns.. The lunch was pretty ordinary.
Excellent Day Out From Start to Finish

5.00We visited the ticket booth the day before we traveled so we could get our tickets printed in advance and we knew where we were going. This proved very beneficial as it was very busy on arrival. The ferry was on time giving us 90 minutes to explore before the train ride. The tour of tunnels was interesting and well presented as was the island bus tour. The chicken salad wrap which passed as lunch was average at best but other than that we had an excellent day.
Amazing Rottnest

5.00What a great tour!! Guide was amazing and I walked away feeling like I saw the entire island. It is the perfect tour for first timers to Rottnest- a perfect overview of the history and high points of beautiful Rottnest. Highly recommend!

4.00I didn't realize that Quokas are nocturnal so seeing them on this trip was not likely. The ones we did see and try to photograph were difficult to get a photo of because of other people hoarding the space. The island was beautiful but wish the tour had stopped at Parakeet Beach. Twenty minutes here would have been grand.
Great way to see all the...

5.00The tour provides a comprehensive overview of the island with several stops along the way. I could preferred less time at Oliver Hill Battery and longer stops on the bus portion. Nicky was an outstanding guide, and the tour was extremely well organized.
Terrific full day tour...

5.00Terrific full day tour from Fremantle. Our guide through the military bunkers and tunnels was a very knowledgeable and professional decent. The boxed lunch was good. Our bus driver and guide for the second half of the tour, Nicky, was fantastic. She gave us a thorough and fun overview of Rottnest!
Tour excellent - Destination disappointing

2.00The tour was very well organised - Sealink staff were friendly, efficient and the boats comfortable. The train driver (Gary?) was excellent with a great sense of humour. The volunteers at Oliver Hill were very knowledgeable and Oliver Hill was very interesting. Our island guide Nicky was very friendly, full of information and drove very well. Lunch was yummy! Could not fault the tour. Thankyou. :) However we have never been more disappointed with a place - Rottnest Island itself was extremely disappointing as a destination. The extreme number of boats, buses, bikes & people on a small island take away from the attraction. The quokkas look sick and miserable. The Aboriginal history has been covered over by luxury expensive stays. The small but informative museum is hidden away at the back of eateries. The island is an environmental disaster. Trip advisor tours are always well organised and I recommend them. I don't recommend Rottnest Island as a destination.
Great day out

5.00Great day out. From the trip across to the island in Sealink to the train ride and WW guns tour and the bus tour, it was fantastic.
