Book it, hop on the boat, you won’t regret it. - A fabulous opportunity to explore the island of Rottnest. And of course, it’s beautiful Quokka residents!! There’s are spots to swim, to eat, to picnic, to drink, to stay (if you had organised it previously) . A fabulous experience and we found the shops and restaurants really reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend.

Memorable - It was a day spent with my brother for his 66th birthday. The weather was fine, sailing was smooth. The boat was well maintained, clean, staff were very happy and friendly. There were many things to do and see while on the island. A very memorable day for both of us. Thankyou all

Rottnest Rocks!! - The whole trip was fantastic from getting on the boat with a bike I’d hired, out across the water to the island. All the different places I visited … some by bike, others via the hop-on-hop-off bus. Everything was just spectacular, and the weather was just perfect.

Beautiful island defo worth a visit - Self guided tour. But everything went smoothly from Terrie picking us up in plenty of time for ferry from our hotel, to ferry times and crossing and back again. Wish I would have checked in to staying in the island as 5 hours wasn’t long enough to soak in the beauty of the island. Loved it and definitely hire a bike or take the hop on off bus to see more than the settlement.
