Great trip and value for money, though need some logistical improvements... - Once on Rottnest Island and on the Grand Guided Tour the whole thing worked like a dream and was thoroughly enjoyable. The Oliver Hill Train and commentary were great fun. The tour around the gun emplacement and knowledge of the volunteer guides was excellent and the 90 minute bus tour around the island was very informative. Lunch provided was a chicken wrap and water, very tasty and very pleasant. Overall a great experience. I would like to see some advice about where to collect Grand Guided Tour programmes and packs from before boarding the bus and some advice on where to go when we land. Not enough clear signage when on the island to various tour bus/train locations and lots of people frantic about tours etc. Planning could have been so much better organised. But overall a great trip, with some real highlights - and yes once you see one Quokka you will then spot loads of the friendly creatures.

Worth doing. - Great day out. Very informative guide, Glen. Really enjoyed the bus and train trip. Could have spent less time at the gun and more at the light house. Good picnic lunch. Lovely to meet the quokas.

Childhood’s dream came true - Unforgettable trip. I’m glad that I chose the bus tour which easier for my elderly parents. Love the train ride too with great views. Our tour guide make sure that we are able to take picture with Quokka. Nice and healthy lunch. My son love how they arrange outdoor lunch with amazing view. While we were eating, our tour guide shared the stories about Rottnest. Really appreciate it and highly recommended.

Wouldn’t recommend for active folks - The train, meal and tunnel tour were great. I wasn’t impressed with the buss and hopped off once we got back to the settlement. The tour bus was loud and it’s too beautiful of a location to just watch from a window. Good for folks with ambulatory issues.
