Fast efficient and friendly ferry service. - Really efficient service. Much easier getting the boat from Hillary’s as plenty of parking. Friendly crew on board. Air conditioning and comfortable seats or outside seating if preferred. There was a little bit of a wait in the return journey but we were on holiday so didn’t matter!!

Rotto day trip - It was a great to visit Rotto and see the Quokkas. As we are not physically active to hire bikes we choose the bus. The day we visited was not very warm but very wi dy.

Dramatically bad information from Viator! - That Viator's communications are totally inadequate at the pick-up time. That's why we tweaked the ferry and had to spend $17 on Uber and $71 on the next ferry. Sorry, zero. Unlike the Pinnackles tour the next day, where the time of pickup was completely clear! Staying on Rottnest Island was a nice day, but also not outstanding: Too many people in the hop on hop off bus etc. But we found an almost deserted magnificent bay to swim in.
