The tour offered was on an air conditioned coach. After alighting the ferry there were no directions on getting to a designated railway which, when found, was over 400 meters from the ferry. I am on crutches and struggled in the excessive heat to make the train departure. On arrival at the train a lady tour guide who had pulled up in a golf cart with a sign on top showing it was for disabled travelers explained to me that had she known I could have gotten a lift from her, all I had to do was contact her. If only there was some sort of communication about this, I was left feeling that it was somehow my fault that I did not know all this. Then we got the train to it's destination and we walked another very steep 40-50- meters to a gun battery. Then my favorite guide arrived again telling us to walk back down the hill another 100 or so meters to finally get on the promised air conditioned bus. The light lunch was a wrap but OK. The bus did manage to drop us near where there were two Qualls for a minute or two. The bus dropped us back somewhere in the village precinct and thankfully not quite as far away from the ferry as the train station. The bus pick up and drop off at Perth gave the impression that it would be near or even at your own hotel but not the case at all. Not as advertised and not impressed.

Great trip, well organized, great guide. A bit confusing as to we’re to find the departure point at first and at lunch facility to wipe down tables or table cloths would have been good.

Rottnest is beautiful with a stunning coastline I highly recommend the Grand Island tour, we saw every inch of the stunning coastline from the comfort of the air con coach.

Loved seeing all the different beaches on Rottnest Island. The train was not running so we had a full bus to take is around the island. Although the bus driver had tons of knowledge, the entire day, almost was spent riding a bus. There was very little time after the tour for a look at the shops or get an ice cream. Did get to see quite a few quokkas. The ride on the ferry was one of the most enjoyable parts of the day.

The boat ride was an experience for sure. The train and bus was great too, but the our tour guide lady was fantastic.
