So, the day we'd booked to visit Rottnest island was cold, wet & grey. It rained almost non stop but - we were told - this was good because the quokkas came out more when it was wet. Despite the weather, it's a cute little island with a lovely beach, a lighthouse & the usual shops & places to buy a plastic raincoat (they made a fortune on the day we went!) We did a bus tour of the island & were lucky enough to spot lots of wildlife (fur seals, ospreys, humpback whales, king skink lizards & of course, the wonderful quokkas - which, let's face it, is why most people come here. There's a great little shop selling hot pasties & cakes (not too much for vegans but I'm used to that) & the sun shone for a little while, making everything seem so much better.

Most impressive were the members of the crew! They worked so well together that it seemed that they were actually having fun. The views were beautiful white beaches and different shades of the water. But where were the quakkas? Only saw one! Very crowded with bikers everywhere seeding around you have be careful on the footpaths.

Almost spring but still a very good day to spend on the island. Breakfast to start in the Dome then hopping on the bus to a few beach spots to have a swim and a snorkel. Seeing lovely views of the island. Catching views of the Quokka near the main resort and even when we sat to have a drink. Ferry rides both ways very good. Only downside I would say is the cost of the bus.

The ferry trip that was amazing, the staff were very friendly and helpful. Rottnest was amazing, weather was perfect so I think the beaches, just relaxing having a swim and walking along the beaches. The lighthouse was also fantastic. It was a great trip from start to finish.

This is a great day trip from the Quay in Perth in city centre. Well worth the money. The boat is great. It takes a good 90 mins from Perth to Rottnest, but it goes quickly as there is good commentary telling you about what's on each side of the river and about the island when you get there. It takes a little while before the engines can really open up due to the speed limit on the river, but the boat goes well when it can. Definitely worth the money. Be careful when coming back from Rottnest to make sure you get on the right boat to the right destination. Some people say Perth when they actually mean Freemantle. So make sure Perth means Perth if you want to get back to the Quay in the city centre.

Unfortunately my husband and I travelled return from barrack st Perth to rottnest with our 2 kids. Whilst we arrived early to board there was no chance of getting 4 seats together and we were sat at the rear of the ferry. It was extremely warm and the air conditioning clearly didn't work, we couldn't purchase cold drinks and it was just awful. The return trip was even worse. No seating for any of us unless we were happy for the kids to sit separately. This was not an option because most people on board were intoxicated and falling over. We decided to get off at Fremantle and uber back to the city. As a tourist operator you should be ashamed and embarrassed of the terrible service. Whatever you do choose a different operator. Rotto was beautiful so worth the trip just not with Rottnest Express. Beware!!

Went on the premium package which was excellent and good value. Crew were all helpful, polite and professional. Informative cruise down the Swan river with snacks and soft drinks on the way out and alcoholic drinks on return. Ideal weekday trip so the island was not too crowded. Enjoyed the Beaches and snorkelling before a Hydration break in the hotel before return to Perth. I would recommend this Ferry package anytime.

The trip was enhanced markedly by the Swan River guided tour before collecting passengers from Fremantle. Knowledgeable commentary on a comfortable vessel. We caught the express return trip which included complimentary drinks and light snacks.

I was booked on the 8.30am ferry to Rottnest. Our family arrived early and boarded the ferry just after 8am. The water was choppy and I felt sick, so I told the crew I needed to get off for 15min seeing as we had plenty of time. They told me no worries, they would remember me and told me to go and sit on a bench. Well, about 7min later they removed the boarding ramps. I ran up and said I needed to get back on, my kids were on there!! It was about 8.15am. They said absolutely not, the ferry was leaving and I had to get on the next ferry leaving in 20 minutes. My kids were screaming because they didn’t have their mum, as I watched the ferry pull away. You couldn’t make this stuff up!! What a heartless and reckless company.

The trip over was great, the crew were very nice and great personality plus very informative. The island itself was amazing and just like a little hidden gem. The quokka's are so cute and adorable. Would highly recommend this trip to anyone
