5.00Great trip. Booked the ferry across and afternoon bus tour. Worked well for us. We walked to the beach to spend the morning then back for the bus tour in the afternoon. Bus driver gave very informative commentary and we had a couple of photo stops
Good day out.

5.00Very enjoyable day out. Rottenest Island is well worth a visit. The Quokka s were why we visited and were very cute and not like rats ar all.
A great day out.

5.00We had a lovely day on Wadjemup (Rottnest Island) The ferry was good, the bus tour was excellent with lots of interesting information and scenic views. A bit rough on the way back to Fremantle but that’s the sea for you.

5.00Boat trip over and back was great. Was a little rough on return but still good. Did the bus trip around the island. Would recommend as it was a warm day and bus aircondiitoned and got to see alot of the island. Commentary of the driver was informative and great. Got to see a few Quoka's.
It’s been 40 years since I visited and was relieved that it had not lost its vibe.

5.00Well organised but a little vague where bus pick up was on Rottnest. Sealink staff extremely helpful (Rob) when I lost my phone on the island., He followed up with police on the island. Fantastic. Above and beyond - a huge thank you. Annoyed to see tourists touching and feeding the Quokkas to obtain the best photos.
Good transportation for Rottnest Island

4.00Good correspondence and easy to find ticket location for ferry. Bus tour was ok, but would have enjoyed longer and more stops. Not a lot to do besides eat near the ferry docks. Perhaps a longer bus tour, or shorter time on the island
SeaLink sure …

4.00The ferry was on time and well organised. It was an extremely busy Sunday. There are toilets and a cafe on board. There are provisions for bikes, prams and scooters just mention them on booking. It’s not cheap for a family for a half hour trip, but a good choice
Amazing service, super flexible!

5.00Two days before or trip, we were informed via SMS and email that our return trip was cancelled, so they offered us to take any other return trip. Very professional. We arrived early at the jetty for our trip and asked, if we can jump on the earlier boat which was no problem. The same for our trip back. Again very flexible and friendly.
