Great Tour! - Well-organised tour which gave us a lot of information about the history and features of Rottnest. The tour guide for the bus trip around the island (Jason) was the most knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide we’ve ever had on a guided tour in the past 20 years!

Excellent day out - Thoroughly enjoyed this all inclusive full day tour of Rottnest Island. Loved the hotel pick up and drop off as I didn't have to think about anything! Rotto is a must see - such a unique island with so much interesting history, flora and fauna. Light lunch was delicious, ample time for photos and rest, staff all very helpful.

Great Day - Excellent in all respects. From the time we were picked up from our hotel until we were dropped off. Great commentary from the bus driver. Couldn’t fault any aspect of the day.

Absolutely Wonderful day on the Island and definitely stay next time. - Been to Australia 3 times and always meant to go to the island. Boat was on time and apart from I get sea sick all was good. After settling down once arrived we got a map and made a plan. Went to the bus pick up stop and impressed to see the guy cleaning the bus for us to get on. Boiling day so air conditioned bus much appreciated. Half way round the island our bus broke down! The guy was brilliant, he said if you want you can walk a little way to a gorgeous beach, have a swim and I will give come and give you a call when get going or another bus. The sea was inviting and beach empty, just perfect. As promised the guy came and gave us a shout that getting going again, we decided to stay where we were. He told us where to walk to the next bus pick up and it had shade to wait under just wonderful. Later in the early evening we took the bus trip again and learnt so much from this same guy by chance, he was a credit to the company don't loose him. Loved the island and hope one day back in Australia to visit again. Very late in reviewing this trip but better late than never. Really wish we could remember drivers name.

Correct Information would Help - The tour offered was on an air conditioned coach. After alighting the ferry there were no directions on getting to a designated railway which, when found, was over 400 meters from the ferry. I am on crutches and struggled in the excessive heat to make the train departure. On arrival at the train a lady tour guide who had pulled up in a golf cart with a sign on top showing it was for disabled travelers explained to me that had she known I could have gotten a lift from her, all I had to do was contact her. If only there was some sort of communication about this, I was left feeling that it was somehow my fault that I did not know all this. Then we got the train to it's destination and we walked another very steep 40-50- meters to a gun battery. Then my favorite guide arrived again telling us to walk back down the hill another 100 or so meters to finally get on the promised air conditioned bus. The light lunch was a wrap but OK. The bus did manage to drop us near where there were two Qualls for a minute or two. The bus dropped us back somewhere in the village precinct and thankfully not quite as far away from the ferry as the train station. The bus pick up and drop off at Perth gave the impression that it would be near or even at your own hotel but not the case at all. Not as advertised and not impressed.
