  Quokkas were good in their natural environment. Crossing on ferry was quite smooth. Tour was very informative.

  Beautiful place! No regret that we came in winter, and will be returning sometime soon. Nature on the island is amazing, and cute quakkas everywhere, very nice trip for a family.

  Awesome trip from Perth down the swan river . The gentleman doing commentary was great very informative . Bit rough from Fremantle to Rottnest no fault of captain that’s the sea for you.

  The trip to and from the island was what we expected and staff provided commentary along the way as we cruised the Swann River. There are facilities on board with ice was good given it’s 2hours each way and there was a cafe to get light refreshments. The staff were friendly. The only down side was the arctic blast air conditioner that blow the entire time on board. If you were unlucky enough to be under its force you couldn’t escape it. Seems there is no temp or fan speed adjustment. If it was the middle of summer, you might enjoy it but the many complaints from other passengers on our trip in winter suggests otherwise. When drawn to the attention of a staff member, we were advised she would look into but she just stood there and did nothing. No better on the return trip. Customer comfort should be a consideration but not on our trip. Sit closest to the windows or bring extra jackets for the trip if you go in the cooler months.

  I had a terrific day on Rottnest Island, starting with a courtesy pick up bus to the Ferry. The ferry trip down river from Perth was excellent, with commentary on the scenery as you pass by. The crossing from Fremantle to Rottnest was quite smooth, although as the ocean does as it pleases, this may not always be the case. I highly recommend visiting Rottnest, and suggest the Rottnest Express for your trip

  The beautiful white sandy beaches and crystal blue ocean were beautiful to ride by on the electric bike.

  A cold windy ride over on the ferry didn't dampen our spirits even though it was a cold and rainy day. Once on the island we went via the hop on hop off bus. Great experience and lovely driver who knew his island. Had lunch at the Rotty Pub and the fresh crab buns with a glass of local white wine was a treat. Great little convenance shop with lots of touristy items and good wine to take home. Lovely day 4 and half star day

  I’d love to thank the people from the Rottnest Express to have contributed to a lovely day among our furry friends. It was very interesting to get the extra information on the shores of Swann River. A very timely service done by very friendly people!

  Ferry from Perth to Rottnest. If you want to get to Rottnest i don’t think you can avoid it but what a poor experience. A very slow trip, with a colonial centric commentary in a monotonous, sleepy uninspiring commentary. Take you headphones and listen to some music or a podcast 😀
