Felt like a privileged passenger, not part of the cattle - The boat, the service, was nothing but excellent, unfortunately I had a fall going on the boat, the staff looked after me, and I was very impressed by the standard of the boat, cleanliness, and overall service

Family in the sun - Watching my grand son see the quokas and experience the boat ride over, only negative was the other tourist and there lack of sticking to the left whilst riding there bikes that was crazy, I think there should be better signage for everyone as the maps are a little difficult to read and a simple painted foot paths stick to left would be easy and signs to let people know where bus pick up and tour arrows would be great. Thanks TB

Fab first visit to Rotto - Great day trip to Rotto. Booked tickets on line day before departure. Travelled from Perth to Fremantle and got the 7:00am ferry as wanted to be there early. Didn’t end up hiring bikes as they were all booked out on line. But will def do this next time. Quick 30 min voyage. Spotted our first Quokkas and did our selfies when we first arrived as pretty quiet. . Ended up with 3 separate photo shoots during the day. Walked to the military section and explored the heritage sites. So much to learn about the part the Island had in the war etc. back to the settlement for lunch and refreshments at the pub. Such a lovely spot. Getting busy around lunch time as more people arriving on the ferries. after exploring the lighthouse section and beaches we left on the 2:30pm ferry as we wanted some time in Fremantle too. I think next time we will stay the night and get bikes. So much more to explore - but for our first trip it was amazing. Lovely beaches, lovely Quokkas. Only thing I was surprised at was some of the state of the houses in the settlement. Could do with a clean up!

On time, friendly and helpful staff - Friendly and helpful staff. Ran on time very efficiently. The crossing took 35 mins and when we got off we picked up our bikes and helmets. The bikes do not have anywhere to put a water bottle or bag on

Great trip - We went using sealink ferries. They were a good choice, friendly efficient and on time both ways. The island is lovely and great to cycle around. There are lovely beaches nice places to eat and of course the quokkas that are very cute. Well worth a visit

The bus tour and the... - The bus tour and the Quokkas were great, but the bus tour could include a commentary along the trip which would improve the experience. The men's toilets near the boat ramp were disgusting and need more regular maintenance. The rest of the Island was really great, and the walking tour was very interesting, and the guide was quite knowledgeable.

Overnight trip - Expensive trip to get to family. Must now be on par with IOW ferry or more expensive!!! $101.50 for an overnight return for an adult. Definitely prices many out of the enjoyment of Rotto. Although competitors pricing relative. Entrance price for island adds sting in the tail, along with cost to use bus. Staff pleasant, efficient and effective completing their jobs. Free icy pole included on outward trip though 😀
