Great boat ride Perth to Rottnest. Sat on top deck on return- enjoyed it all. Bus tour around island very good. Informative, interesting & numerous commentary by bus driver. Able to get off bus to take photos in few places. Didn't find instructions as to how to get to bus departing place very clear. Time in Rottnest after bus tour & before 4.30pm departure for a wander around the bay, museum & shops. I had a great lunch at Rottnest Hotel overlooking the beach. Ferry staff all very friendly & helpful. I would recommend this ferry & bus tour if only have one day to visit Rottnest Island

We loved our driver. Very knowledgeable and entertaining. Made sure we got to see a Quokka in the wild. Coach comfortable, modern and clean. Great way to know what's available on the island so you can then come back to your favourite spots.

An awesome island , but as we were seated on the right side of the bus during the tour we missed all the scenic views - which were 99% in full view to the ones seated on the left ..whom obviously was clicking away on their phones . which in essence was the purpose of booking this bus trip was not fulfilled

I enjoy the view, the bus tour guide did the fantastic job and the beach vibe, swimming that my family so much had fun and love. My kids excited and enjoy seing the quakka too. What a great family bonding we experience. Thanks for the very welcoming and hospitable staff on board😊.Kylie

We loved our bus driver, Ted. He was engaging, funny, knowledgeable about the island and really helpful to boot. The bus was comfortable and we loved being able to see the entire island in air conditioning as the day was quite warm. We also loved that we were back with plenty of time to explore the island in our own time before we needed to board the ferry back to Fremantle.
