Quick, comfortable and easy way to get to beautiful Rottnest Island from Fremantle. Friendly and helpful crew. Sit outside if you can, for the best experience. Recommend arranging bike hire in advance, to save time on arrival

There was parking available and easy to pay and display. It was easy to exchange voucher for tickets. The ferry was onetime and the crew were friendly. Rottnest is a lovely island and we really enjoyed our time there.

Great ferry ride and great team onboard . Rottnest is a fabulous day out with so much to do you’ll need to go back to explore it all. The SeaLink ferry worked seamlessly.

Crossing can be a little rough. Take travel sickness precautions. If you sit outside on top deck be prepared to get wet!!

Check in and booking was very straight forward. Return was easy also and refund of deposit was made with-in the 24hours (which they stated it would) so I was very happy with that. Bikes were in good condition. The only reason I am not giving 5 stars is because all electric scooters and bikes were sold out. Next time we will definitely book online in advance.

Great service. A bit over priced. 40 mins ferry, paid $173 for 2 person. Overall it is a good experience to go for a a-day trip or fee days.

Great trip with Sealink and a very enjoyable day on Rottnest Island with very cute quokka and very good eating cafes and bars.

Always a more comfortable trip on a Sealink boat given the cat design. Also there is a lot more room than the competitors. Definitely recommend this company.

We traveled with SeaLink to and from Rottnest Island from Freemantle today. The outbound trip this morning was very choppy and both my wife and I were struggling with feeling seasick. One of the young lady staff members spotted this and went above and beyond to make sure we were ok, supplying cold flannels, reassurance and advice, so thank you, she was genuinely caring. Our return journey went without a hitch and we were even able to use our ticket on an earlier crossing. Highly recommend.
