“We loved this tour to Rottnest Island from Perth. The Island bus tour was well worth including. Our guide was Barney, he was amazing! We loved seeing the Quokkas”
Ferry from Fremantle plus bike hire for a flexible Rottnest Island day, with helmet and admission, quokkas, and swims.
“Rottnest is a beautiful island with lots to see and do. Bike hire is great to get around. I’m not very fit but managed to get around ok, some of the hills were very steep but you just stop and take in the scenery. The quokkas were very cute. Had a nice lunch at one of the hotels. Some of the beaches were very busy- salmon bay was the nicest. I think $120 is a lot of money for a 30 min ferry ride however the island was beautiful and must be done while in Perth.”
Ferry and coach day trip to Rottnest Island from Fremantle or Perth, with quokka spotting, lighthouse stops, and free afternoon time.
“A trip you shouldn’t miss when visiting Perth! We absolutely loved the biking activity at Rottnest Island — it was the highlight of our day! We only wish we had more time to explore because the island is incredibly beautiful. The bus tour is also worth doing on your first visit since it gives a great overview of the island, but next time we’re definitely going straight to biking and swimming. November was a great time to visit — a bit hot, but perfect for swimming and enjoying the beaches. ☀️🚲🌊”
Perth to Rottnest Island by fast ferry, then explore solo on an included bike. Quokkas, beaches, and a full day outdoors.
“My sister, visiting from the UK, loved the unspoiled beauty of the island and the respect ofr it's flora and fauna. She recognised the good management of the island's transport and also its waste management processes. We were very limited with time so only skimmed the surface, however the whole day, including lunch, was excellent. Just sorry we missed the museum as we got back from our bike ride after it had closed - I'm sure it would have been exceptional to experience more of the island's history.”

“Excellent, very informative and a train ride as well”
Round-trip ferry from Perth or Fremantle, bike and helmet hire on Rottnest Island, with optional snorkeling at The Basin.
“Turned up to the Island, had back and forth with the operator about bike sizes for kids. I provided height of my youngest, the operator didn’t put a kids bike on the boat. Adult bikes were way too big for an 8YO at 135cm. Tried to find a resolution, staff in the end didn’t care and walked away leaving us without a bike. Asked for a refund. Didn’t get it over a week later. Operator was Rottnest Express, I’d suggest using a different ferry operator and hire your bike from the hire store on the island who have much better quality bikes, much better service and seem to be cheaper.…”
A full-day Rottnest Island trip with SeaLink ferry, train to Oliver Hill, guided bus tour, and light lunch, plus plenty of quokka time.
“Comfy ride over on ferry saw whales as well. Had an hour to walk around the at settlement prior to catching bus & having gun/tunnels tour. Driver was excellent & funny. Light lunch was great (wrap/cookie & water). Completed bus tour after lunch & saw every bit of Rottnest you can get a bus to - which is most of it. Another hour at settlement at end of tour guarantee you'll see Quokka at the bakery! Excellent day out and well worth the money.”
Day trip from Fremantle to Rottnest Island with roundtrip ferry, a 90-minute Discovery bus loop, and time to spot quokkas and beaches.
“This company runs such a fantastic service. Damian the boat captain and bus tour operator really value adds to this experience with his insights and knowledge of the area. Very entertaining and informative. Highly recommend boarding at Perth instead of Freemantle so you don't miss out on the Margaret River guided tour and also so you can get better seats as the boat gets very crowded.”
