Loved this trip, Rottnest... - Loved this trip, Rottnest Island is such a beautiful place to visit and the cute little Quokkas are everywhere, they’re so friendly. I recommend hiring an E-bike to explore the island as some parts are quite hilly

Great experience - The boat arrived on time, was very clean & had a bar service. It took about 45 min to get to Rottnest island. There were 4-5 ft swells on the day we went, so if you get seasick, I would wear a patch. Several people were sick during our trip. Even with the swells, the boat ride was pretty smooth. The boat was there on time to take us back.

Fast way to Rottnest - Great ferry trip over and back. About 45 minutes. Plenty of seats inside and out. A small snack bar/Cafe. Toilets were nice and clean. Really easy to get on and off especially with small children. Highly recommend.

Smooth Service, Rough Seas – A Little Warning Next Time - It would be good to inform guests in advance about the ride to Rottnest. I vomited twice on the ferry as it was a choppy ride. The weather was bad and it was raining. We should have been told earlier so we could take seasickness pills beforehand. It was my first time experiencing something like that.
