Rottnest Island is beautiful and a must-see for Perth visitors. The ferry ride was comfortable and the staff were pleasant and friendly. The rented bikes were functional. An option for upgrade to an e-bike would have made the experience even more amazing.

The experience of cycling Rottnest Island was lovely. There’s stunning beaches throughout and the roads are easy to navigate as they’re largely sealed. We were on the island from 9am to 230pm. That was ample time to cut a lap and then marvel at the cuteness of the quokkas whilst enjoying some good and a glass of wine. If you get travel sick, maybe consider popping a tablet for the 30 minute crossing from Freo. It was a bit bumpy.

Scenic & seamless transport. Bikes were distributed upon arrival to the island and we were set for a great day. Even saw a whale on the way!

Our day started with being collected from our Hotel, this certainly made things very easy for us. Checkin to get our tickets and to organise the bike hire was very easy. The trip down the Swan River was great and was enjoyable. Once we arrived at the Island it was very easy to collect our bikes and then commence to explore the Island. It was quite a warm day so I do recommend sun protection and also insect repellent. We spent our day cycling to different areas of the Island and enjoyed eating at a couple of the eateries on the Island. Surprisingly when we were away from the populated areas of the Island we thought that we might see Quoka’s in their natural environment however this was not to be. It would appear that these cutie’s have become quite used to humans and we only saw them in the populated areas. There are many signs to say don’t feed to touch the Quoka’s however we did observe that this was not complied with. The kids certainly had mixed emotions some were scared and then were very excited to see them. Overall we had a great day.

To be completely honest I didn't really enjoy the day. We queued to get on board and I had downloaded the ticket as per instruction. Once ready to board it then turned out I needed the barcode from the original email instead of the ticket . As I couldn't get it on my phone due to not having WiFi I had to run back to the ticket office so that they could print it off for me. It was all quite stressful and I could have been asked when I checked in at the booking office if I had the barcode. I had previously enquired whether the company were offering passenger pick up in Fremantle. They said they weren't which is fair enough but I would have appreciated being told that we could get on the boat there rather than travelling to Elizabeth quay. We boarded and then stopped at Fremantle to change boats. It had something to do with the high tides and our tickets did provide us with travel from the city centre, which is perhaps why it wasn't mentioned. I was starting to feel a bit seasick by this time so really wanted as short a crossing as possible and it wouldn't have mattered to me if the river part of the journey was cut short. We finally arrived on the island and were allocated bikes, locks and helmets. They were good bikes though had no racks, bottle carriers or phone holders . Obviously this has nothing to do with the day's trip and the ferry but I found the island completely overcrowded and commercial. Such a shame as I expected it to be beautiful but quiet. We did manage to spot quite a bit of wildlife but this was well away from the main settlement. It seems many people catch the ferry over and then just crowd onto the nearest beach. I won't be in a hurry to go back.

The 1 1/2 hour journey to Rotto from Perth seemed to go by quickly. Comfortable seats on the ferry and interesting commentary from the captain made the trip enjoyable. Collecting the bikes was quick and efficient. Be aware, there were no baskets on the bikes, so take a knapsack if you plan to carry items. They do provide helmets and bike locks. The bikes are sturdy and have gear shifts for those occasional uphills. Very nice way to see the island. The trip back to Perth departed on time. Glad we booked this experience!
