Fantastic tour - would definitely recommend - The tour was excellent and great value for money. Nicky the tour guide was fantastic, very knowledgeable and friendly. Even the lunch was great. The only issue is there is nothing to let you know where to go when you get off the ferry. I didn’t even know we had to meet at the train station never mind how to get there. I assumed the tour was on a bus so got direction to the bus stop but could clearly see that wasn’t right so then had to ask again and was finally directed to the station. Everyone else waiting there had had the same issue and none of us were quite sure we were in the right place until the tour guide arrived. It needs to clearly say in the emails to meet at the station and some clear signage of how to get there once you are on the island - at the ferry stop.

Lovely day at Rottnest Island - We had a really good time visiting Rottnest Island! The highlight was definitely meeting the friendly local quokkas – they’re so adorable and welcoming. The blue sea surrounding the island was absolutely stunning, making the whole experience very scenic and relaxing. Lunch, however, was just a cold sandwich, and I think it would have been much nicer if we were brought to a proper restaurant to complement the overall experience. That said, the surprise visit to the old bomb shelter was unexpected and added an interesting twist to the trip. Overall, I’d highly recommend including Rottnest Island in your Perth itinerary. Between the wildlife, the natural beauty, and the unique historical spots, it’s well worth a visit!

That the ferry ride can... - That the ferry ride can be very choppy. And viator service as a booking agent stinks, bypass viator and book direct with the tour company. I will never use viator again.

Very enjoyable and informative day! - This tour included a pick up and drop off to a nearby hotel which was super convenient! The train trip and guided tour of the World War 2 gun and tunnel site was excellent and gave insight into the past. There was also a bus tour of the island and our guide gave us informative commentary and highlighted points of interest along the way. A great trip for first time visitors to Rottnest Island!

Helpful if you can't bike, but very limited exploring - I booked this tour of Rottnest Island because I can't ride a bike and wasn’t sure if exploring on foot would be enough to see everything. While the tour was well-organized and the guide was friendly, just be aware that most of the experience happens from inside the bus. There were only a couple of very short stops and the rest of the time we were driving past places I wish we could have explored more. If you're hoping to really take in the island, this might feel a bit limiting, especially if you're seated on the side away from the views.
