Excellent ferry to Rottnest - Great ferry service - easy to use, very convenient in that they'll take your luggage to your accommodation for you (and pick it up), and that you can leave from Perth CBD (and get a nice, commentated tour out of the harbor) and return to Fremantle to check out the markets. Pretty solid all around.

Highly recommend! The... - Highly recommend! The process from buying tickets to the trip itself was seamless and easy. I wasn't able to find my tickets on my email, so I simply went to the front desk and they were able to print off for me.

Enjoyable day trip - I had to change the ferry booking twice this was fuss free and easy to do via email, the sailing and return were prompt and pleasant with a good commentary whilst navigating the Swan River.

Nice ferry ride from Perth. - We did the 1.5 hour ride from Perth/Barrack. Great views of gorgeous houses. Lots of boats and jet skiers to watch. Rottnest itself was fantastic. It was quite hot and i would recommend bikes to keep off flies OR get the hop on hop off pass at the first stop (only option - can’t buy it mid route). The scenery and beaches were stunning!! Quokkas were so cute and seen mostly at the settlement area. We thought if the quokkas as the raccoon of America (cute and will eat anything). Definitely go see Rottnest.

Hidden treat did not expect to find must be the most remote location for pickle ball - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Must-Do Experience on Rottnest Island!
Rotto Rackets Pickleball is an absolute highlight of Rottnest Island and a must-do for anyone visiting. The atmosphere is fun, relaxed, and welcoming, whether you’re a complete beginner or already love the game. The courts are set in a beautiful location, and playing pickleball surrounded by Rottnest’s stunning scenery makes the experience even more special.
The team running it are fantastic – friendly, energetic, and great at explaining the rules and keeping everyone involved. They create a really inclusive vibe, so you instantly feel comfortable and ready to have fun. It’s the perfect mix of exercise, laughs, and social interaction.
If you’re looking for something active and different to do on the island (and a break from cycling and beaches), this is it. We had an amazing time and would 100% do it again on our next trip to Rotto. Highly recommended!

Wonderful Day Trip - We had a lovely time, though the flies were terrifically annoying! I strongly advise travelers to invest in a fly net prior to your summer trip to the island. Our time there was too short. I would advise going as early as possible on the first boat at 7:00.

Funny day tour with sporting ambitions (bike tour) - Great tour where we had a lot of fun. We had borrowed the bikes from SEALINK and they were excellent. The quakkas are really sweet, but you can find them primarily in the area of the “main road” at the port of arrival.
What you need to know on a bike ride!!! The track is very hilly, so you should have a lot of fitness/strength or rent e-bikes. Be sure to get water beforehand, outside the town there were no water stations and hardly any cafes.

Perfect service, friendly and very helpful staff. - We spent two days on Rottnest Island. Since this stay was part of a longer round trip, we had a lot of luggage with us. Our suitcases were taken to the ferry and after docking from the pier to the hotel. On the day of departure, the suitcases were brought back from the hotel to the ferry. So we did not have to worry about our luggage, which makes the arrival and departure very pleasant.
The ride itself was pleasantly quiet, which was of course also due to the weather. The boarding is well organised and after returning to Perth our bags were unloaded very quickly.
Booking tickets online was also very uncomplicated and transparent.
Overall, the SeaLink ferry is highly recommended.

Complimentary Pick up not honoured - Ticket included complimentary pick up this was not honoured. Nobody contacted me to arrange pick up from hotel. When I notified them they said it was too late. We made our own way there and back. When the tour finished it was a long hot day and we had to walk back to hotel which was utterly exhausting a good half hour walk!!
