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.

Island Tour - Good guide gave lots of information about the island. Great tour of island seeing many locations. Recommend this tour as there is so much to see and learn.

Well worth the money - Got to see a lot of the island. Lunch was nice. Great day. The guides were very informative and I would recommend this grand tour.

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.

Delightful day - Lovely day for boat trip, island has interesting history, narrow gauge railway, cute quokkas, delicious packed lunch

A1 - Very well organized tour. Highly recommended. Saw Quakkas around bakery and in the wild. Good that we didn't bike. It is very hilly for biking, especially in the Heat! Glad the tour was by bus!

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.

Rottnest - This trip was not properly described online. It involved significant walking, climbing stairs, going into tunnels and climbing uneven staircases. We spent 1.5 hours of a 3 hour trip at the WW2 gun placement site, which only got a tiny mention on the list of things to do. We travelled partly by train - again not mentioned. We were picked up from our hotel at 7.40am for a 10am ferry ride?????? We got back to our hotel at 6.30pm!!! This was not a 3.5 hour trip.

Not worth the money or the aggravation - First: the tour guide was excellent, all the staff we met on the island were great. My problems were with the tour company and how transportation and communication were handled. As you can see the tour advertises itself as being from "Perth." That is not true. The Ferry leaves from HIllary Habor about 45 minutes from Perth. It is in the description if you read it further but you need to look for it. I had. rejected other tours because they did not leave from Perth. The distance to Rottnest is the same from Perth as from Hillary. It does say that they pick-up from various hotels in Perth but not which ones. I contacted them to find out how we would be transported to the Harbor. I was told to go to Crown Perth. I looked it up on Maps and there were 5 locations that used the name Crown Perth. I then asked for a actual street address. I did receive a response after we were on our way to the Harbor. Luckily our Uber driver was able to take us to the correct place once I described the location (Crown Perth, at the back entrance by MacDonald). This proved to be the casino back car park. Once on the bus the driver made multiple wrong turns and had to backtrack and turn around several times. It was obvious that she did not really know where she was going. As we approached the CBD (downtown) Perth she announced that she had never driven in Perth before. Somehow we made it too the Harbor and went to Rottnest. The tour guide was great and was able to tell you a lot about the history of the island. The lunch they served were chicken wraps that were very good, however, that was down to the restaurant that prepared hem. If you want to see the Quokkas you really cannot do so from a bus. There was no time built into the tour for photos or to walk around different areas. We finally saw one Quokka in the picnic area as we were leaving to get on the ferry. The best way to see this island is on foot or bike. Quokkas are semi-nocturnal so going out from 12-4 is not a good time. If you are walking out in the bush or riding bikes you have much more of a chance. I would recommend going to the island around 2-3:00 and leaving on the last ferry. For those unable, or not inclined, to bike or walk I think the best way to meet the Quokkas is to bring a picnic, or buy from the local eateries, hang around the playground and shopping areas and wait for them to come out to play. If there is a next time, I would take the ferry to Rottnest and purchase tickets for the Hop-on-Hop Off bus or simply hang out and walk around
