Booking and experience great. - It was generally very good. My only problem was trying to get my voucher. The link kept breaking down. The email kept the process going smoothly. A very enjoyable day and the viator booking helped a lot.

A great day out! - We took the train from Perth to Fremantle as the ferry ride is only 30 mins from Fremantle and there are more ferry options. The ferry shed b departure point is only 10 min walk across the railway walkway from the railway station(unlike 20 mins quoted by google) . We arrived early and were able to travel on an earlier ferry. ( Off season). The Sealink staff were very helpful and gave us maps and detailed information. The weather was beautiful and we gad a smooth crossing. At the arrival point in Rottnest (The Settlement, Thomson Bay) there are eateries, souvenir shops and plenty of quokkas! We then bought a ticket for the hop on off bus. It is not a guided tour, but our drivers gave us a lot of information. It takes 1hr to do the complete island without stopping. There are 19 stops with toilets, some have coffee vans. Take water and insect repellent. We did a tour of the lighthouse ( takes 1/2 hr) which has a lot of history. The bus stops every 1/4 hr. There are beautiful crystal clear waters, white beaches, a shipwreck perfect for snorkeling. We rang to change our departure time, the Sealink office again were very helpful and sent an updated ticket by email immediately. Thank you. A great day out! Would certainly do this trip again.

Super Cycling around Rottnest - Super day cycling all round the island stopping at beautiful beaches to swim. Saw lots of cute quokkas. Lots of staff to assist with the route and also identify Ospreys.

Superb day in Rottnest - Fantastic first visit to stunning Rottnest Island which started with a great ferry crossing on SeaLink. Very easy booking process and travelling, on time, smooth crossing both ways. Will definitely be back and use SeaLink again. This time I’ll prebook the bikes with SeaLink as it’s a great add on. Bikes are waiting for you on the dock so no need to walk up into the hire place.
