Magic Day - The Best Lobster Ever - We received this gift from our kids for our birthday and Wow loved every minute. From the moment we stepped on board everything was perfect. All of the staff were amazing, very attentive, super friendly and as for the food absolutely delicious. Was so much fun pulling up the lobsters. Met some lovely fellow passengers and everyone had so much fun. Could not fault anything and it was a perfect day. A great company and definitely would do this again at one of the companies other locations.

7 course seafood buffet and boating experience - Fantastic experience from start to finish. The staff are so friendly and accommodating with lots of positive vibes and the food is very high quality and delicious plus a nice selection of bottomless wines, beer and sparkling white all included in the price. Some swimming off the boat in turquoise waters whilst we prepare to eat lunch. Worthy addition to your Rottnest visit. AA++

Crayfish are a culinary delight - Rottnest is a medium-sized island in the Indian Ocean about 20 miles (30 kms) from Fremantle. The best way to get there is by boat, and you can combine your voyage with a seafood cruise. Getting the prized crayfish fresh from the ocean is a culinary delight. Rottnest was so-called because quokkas look like rats, although they are really small marsupials, related to kangaroos. I've never heard of anyone eating quokkas.

Great day out at rottnest - I was concerned that the wind would impact this experience, however after picking up the X-rays from local craypots we went to a sheltered area for lunch. I even managed a dip in the sea before lunch. The crew were friendly and down to earth. It was Avery relaxing ambiance.food was fresh and tasty, servings were small for the starters but the main of crafts/western rock lobster was generous. Plenty of wine ,beer etc was also available. Great day out.

My hopes were as blown away as i was - Average is a good way to describe the trip to be honest. The food was ok my partner was no seafood and literally just got cooked chicken for most of it and it was dry and nothing special. The food in general as so so cray was tough no sauce no nothing, no fruit platter on arrival, one cocktail when most on the boat asked for more and most of us did not drink beers or wines. The swim we were informed of snorkeling options, but nothing was provided on board has had known we would have ought our own and that was the highlight for us. there was also only 15 minutes to swim not really allowing for swim change and have fun ect. The cray fishing as a little redundant tbh and you already had a whole box of crays sitting there we started the boat ride 20 minutes after all instructions were given then stated we would return by 530pm .....we returned at 3pm All in all, for the price which again was $878.00 when we booked the vouchers and was $700 when we booked for the tour so not sure where my $100 went? was not worth it. Windy, cold, shoddy food, good service but I would have preferred fish and chips and cocktails on dry land and a snorkeling cruise.
