Departed from Perth, easy location to find for pickup/drop off, informative commentary down the Swan River, air conditioned interior with drinks & snacks available on board. Rotto did not disappoint, exceptionally beautiful, will be back & probably stay overnight as lots to see and explore. Fantastic pub grub and various food options available on Rotto as the locals call it.

Well organised and efficient. The island is lovely and well worth the trip. Cycle round it if you are able, it's a great way to see the Island.

The day was glorious and the ride smooth. Unfortunately, the speakers/acoustics up top are so bad, none of the Swan River commentary was understandable. That was a bummer. But, on time there and back!

Ferry was on time both to and from Rottnest Isl. Be sure to be at pier at least 1/2 hour before ferry departure time; boat is usually very full. Staff were helpful and friendly.
