5.00Bay bus tour was good, we were on the 11:15am tour, by the time you get back and have lunch we had enough time to walk to the basin and had a swim then made our way back to the ferry
Brilliant day

5.00Brilliantly organised. We did the Perth Sealink ferry and the Bayseeker bus tour which was excellent. A brilliant driver who gave us the commentary throughout. We were booked on the later Perth ferry but changed it without issue to an earlier Fremantle return ferry. Love the flexibility.

3.00The rides over and back were fine, but the bus tour wasn’t our thing. We would have preferred a bus with stops long enough to enjoy some of the sites. We were also disappointed in how crowded the island was even though it was midweek and off season. The quakkas, however, were great. Especially enjoyed them when we walked around one of the saltwater lakes and we were on our own with them. We were able to see some nursing moms with their Joey‘s, which was amazing!
