I thinks there room for improvement for exploring island trips, specially toilets 🚻 hardly to find. Some of the 18 stops no shelter and specially light house should have buggy service to bring elderly persons up to light house instead of let them walk up the slope. By times reach light house how can the elderly got the energy to climb up the light house to enjoy the whole island view ? Over all the Rottnest Island is beautiful.

Most memorable - quokkas, views, food available, cocktails and smooth ferry trips. The views on the island are spectacular and quite different on each side of the island. Take care on ship and slippery rocks on the beach walking trail.
