That the ferry ride can...

5.00That the ferry ride can be very choppy. And viator service as a booking agent stinks, bypass viator and book direct with the tour company. I will never use viator again.
Very enjoyable and informative day!

5.00This tour included a pick up and drop off to a nearby hotel which was super convenient! The train trip and guided tour of the World War 2 gun and tunnel site was excellent and gave insight into the past. There was also a bus tour of the island and our guide gave us informative commentary and highlighted points of interest along the way. A great trip for first time visitors to Rottnest Island!
Great Tour!

5.00Well-organised tour which gave us a lot of information about the history and features of Rottnest. The tour guide for the bus trip around the island (Jason) was the most knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide we’ve ever had on a guided tour in the past 20 years!
Really good experience,...

5.00Thoroughly enjoyed this all inclusive full day tour of Rottnest Island. Loved the hotel pick up and drop off as I didn't have to think about anything! Rotto is a must see - such a unique island with so much interesting history, flora and fauna. Light lunch was delicious, ample time for photos and rest, staff all very helpful.
