I accidentally purchased a ticket for the train ride AND tour. I thought the cost was very high, but Rottnest is known for being overpriced. When we reached the stop off point, we were advised the tunnel tour was commencing, but that it wasn’t appropriate for my newborn and two other small children (which I agreed with but didn’t even realise was part of the ticket). We promptly hopped back on the train and returned to base, when I sought a refund for the tunnel tour component and for my toddlers ticket, because again I had no idea I didn’t have to pay for his age group. I was point blank rejected with no rationale. I had hoped that a more reasonable outcome would have been reached. The train driver and ride itself was lovely.
Definitely worth going to Oliver Hill whilst on Rottnest.

I was so disappointed that the actual train was not running & was replaced by a bus. Breakdowns happen but it would have been nice to be informed as it had broken down days before. Fortunately the bus driver was a really nice person & I was the solo traveller! The tour of the Oliver Hill tunnels, done by volunteers, was fantastic.
Great experience

A great way to spend a couple of hours. Guides where all great and very knowledgeable, and the train ride was a nice way to see more of the island and enjoy the journey.
