Great experience. Plenty of time to explore. Understand when you leave and from where and when you return.

The 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!

Great day tour to Rottnest Island. Beautiful scenery on the way there by boat. Enjoyed the bus tour around the island to see the beautiful beaches. Best part was the Quokkas roaming around the eating area as we had lunch. Very cute!
Wonderful Day

I went to see the quokka. When we were going around the island by bus, we only saw a glimpse of it from afar, but when I was resting near the dock, this one came out and asked for food. It wasn't scared of people at all. It made me worry if it was safe.
Beautiful starry sky

I enjoyed it. Because it was summer, the sun set late and the time was later overall, but I was able to see a beautiful starry sky for the first time in a long time. We were dropped off at a hotel (the Peninsula) that was not the meeting place. (midnight)
