Amazing service, super flexible! - Two days before or trip, we were informed via SMS and email that our return trip was cancelled, so they offered us to take any other return trip. Very professional.
We arrived early at the jetty for our trip and asked, if we can jump on the earlier boat which was no problem. The same for our trip back. Again very flexible and friendly.

Rottnest Day Trip - Sealink provide an excellent ferry service to Rottnest. Very happy to recommend to others. Great staff & clean vessels. Rottnest is great for a day trip or holiday. Recommend the 1 1/2 hour Bayseeker bus tour of the island.

Service - The service is amazing. The departure and arrival times are on time, so If you have planned your trip in advance you’ll have e plenty of time to enjoy Rotto. The crew is always willing to help you and the vessel itself is completely comfy.

Travel BLUE! - By far the best boat choice to travel from Freo to Rottnest. More comfortable and better window viewing. Staff were really efficient and friendly and it was a lovely surprise to be offer some icy poles to enjoy that were free of charge!

Easy quick trip - Took the ferry from Fremantle to Rottnest island at 7:00 am. The ferry arrived early and left right on time so you need to be there ready for it. Also returned at 4:00 pm, again leaving right on time so the punctuality was appreciated.
Very comfortable trip and just half an hour. Didn’t have any interaction with the crew apart from boarding and disembarking but they were very friendly.

Great staff, comfortable trip. A good start and finish to the day. - As an older couple, not into beaches and snorkelling (it was cold August after all!!) , this was the ideal trip for us. We caught the ferry over around 9am, had morning tea at the bakery, got our fill of Quokkas, caught the bus tour at 10.30. The bus tour was great and very informative and showed us exactly how big the island is. We had a few stops to take photos and a visit to the lighthouse. We had considered hiring bikes, but people don't realize how big and hilly the island is. We saw lots of abandoned bikes. After the bus tour, we wandered around the island, visited the museum and caught the 2.30 ferry back. Great staff on both ferry trips and a smooth and comfortable ride.

SeaLink sure … - The ferry was on time and well organised. It was an extremely busy Sunday. There are toilets and a cafe on board.
There are provisions for bikes, prams and scooters just mention them on booking.
It’s not cheap for a family for a half hour trip, but a good choice

Rottnest transfer - Crew were very efficient and friendly. Greeted as boarded and acknowledged as disembarked. Booking was easy at the kiosk at the jetty. Icy poles were a nice gesture. Boats were punctual,clean and well run

Explore by bike! A great way to see Rotnest! Not by tour bus unless you have no choice. - Rotnest Island was amazing but the bus tour was not really worth it. Go by Ebike would have been much more fun and have seen a lot more. We chose the bus hoping to learn about the Island... disappointing...
