The view and the Quokkas. Hard to find the bus. Very windy. The icecream was good. A nice place to go to.

This is a really fun trip to do and it's marginally cheaper than booking the ferry and the bus trip on Rottnest Island separately on their own. Although do note that a) the bus trip doesn't let you off anywhere. If you want that option, get the hop on, hop off bus. On this bus tour though you do get some excellent commentary, and b) once the bus tour is done after about 1 3/4 - 2 hours, you're left to your own devices.

Just buy a ferry return ticket and $20 admission fee, that’s total $120 from Perth ( even cheaper if ur from Fremantle ) instead of paying $175, there’s plenty of free tour when u arrive. U also don’t need to stay 8 hours if ur doing day trip, U will get bored. Well quokkas are cute and u can find them near the shops.

The cruise trip to Rottnest Island was very refreshing, however the bus trip all the way without getting out to feel the surrounding, plus most importantly, we could not hear the guide's introduction of the PLACE OF INTEREST

Milena_D

Rottnest Island is nice place, but no need to take a tour. Ferry tickets are available in the terminal. Bus tour around the Island is not exciting- better to go by bike or walk. it is not turistic bus, more Like public one, with uncomfortable seats. Good option for people who have problem with moving around but if not it is better to go around by yourself.

Ferry ride down Swan River was great, very good commentary. Stopped briefly at Fremantle to pick up other passages then on to Rottnest Island. Took the bus tour around the island. Our driver and guide was full of knowledge and quirky tidbits about the island. I then walked around the settlement area, had lunch at Fransisco’s and photographed the Quokkas. Fun day

On Rottnest Island saw two Quokkas being territorial. Heard the clicking thumping noise with their hind legs. Enjoyable cruise down the Swan River and enjoyable bus tour on the island.

Boat trip along the Swan river and out to Rottnest Is was good. Difficult to find bus meeting place as no signage. Bus basically just drove us around the island. Some interesting commentary but it all seemed a bit light. I was expecting something more interactive and having experience with the quokka but we only stopped briefly to look at a view.

This trip started with a wonderful ferry cruise from Perth, down the Swan River to Fremantle, then to Rottnest Island. Next was a bus tour around the island where we listened to commentary from the driver about the history and many beach sites along the way, stopping to see the sea lions. We had about 3 hours on our own and were mesmerized by the quokkas who were plentiful and lovable. Also learned much of the rich history of the island by touring the museum and historical buildings.

Island itself is stunning, like the Caribbean with its white sands and crystal clear sea. Quokkas came second to the scenery but were everywhere so no danger of not getting a whole load of cute shots… annoyingly people were feeding and petting them as they are very docile, despite friendly signs asking us not to do so. I’d suggest skipping the bus tour… it really is only a bus ride around the island, not really a tour and our one was definitely not air conditioned!
