4.00Not much there but we did enjoy lunch and the hop on hop off bus. Lots of cycling to be done although it's pretty hilly.
Excellent!

5.00Smooth experience from beginning (booking) to end! I highly recommend that anyone visiting Perth spend a day on Rottnest Island (and book e-bikes online ahead of time to avoid a long line--(and the Pedal & Flipper running out!)
Great fun, be aware of motion sickness.

5.00Enjoyable day, staff were friendly and helpful and Gerry was clean and comfortable. The island was great. Just one thing to bare in mind is if you are sensitive to motion sickness get ready, the ride to the island was probably one of the worse when it comes to rocking and I got motion sickness for the first time, so make sure to take some anti motion sickness medication to help. Otherwise definitely recommend, thanks
Great experience

5.00Excellent speedy option for a visit to Rotto. Very friendly and efficient service. Make sure to arrive early as there is a short walk from “checking desk” to vessel.
