Great way to see Island in a day. - Good overview of island for people who can't hike or bike. Was enough interest to occupy 4-5 hours. Suggest Island would be better for those who can stay overnight and experience walking and biking tracks over two days. Watch out for the aggressive ravens in the main cafe area.

Rotty in a day - Weather was perfect for this tour. Tour included everything from ferry , train, bus and lunch. A bit of walking involved but easier to see the the island all in one full day . Staff from tour all friendly and informative. Expect to be tired by the end

Great tour - We really enjoyed this tour and learnt a lot about Rottnest Island. The ferry/train/bus tour combination was perfect, it covered so much of the island and its history plus we saw a few quokkas along the way 😁 Lunch was great and we had the most spectacular view. The drivers and guides really went the extra mile to make the tour really enjoyable and memorable. Highly recommended

Wonderful day - The train trip was very entertaining on the way to Oliver Hill. We had lunch there after an informative tour of the Gun and Tunnel tour. Our bus driver Wayne capped it off with a fantastic tour of the Island explaining it's history and all its outstanding features. He went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a comfortable and enjoyable day.

A cold day - Very efficient guide. The tour of the guns and tunnels was superb.
The guide could have spoken less.
A grey day - not her fault

An interesting place to visit and get up close with those darling quokkas. - The island is still quite unspoilt except for the main ferry landing which seemed a bit commercial to us. We had booked a ferry from Fremantle (cheaper than leaving from Perth) and had the train/bus tour of the island (the Grand tour). This was very interesting as we took the train to the cannon lookout and inspected the wartime tunnels, followed by a wrap lunch and bottle of water followed by a bus tour around the island. This was very enjoyable as we stopped at a few places for coastal scenery and ending up amongst the quokkas being able to get up close for photos. Afternoon trip back on the ferry was a little bumpy but OK. The coffee shop at the ferry landing on Rottnest was not cheap but the food was OK. The ticket office had overbooked the bus by 2 people which meant that my partner and I were unable to sit together and some older people on the bus who also had to sit apart kept looking at us as if we were responsible for their separation. This was rather disturbing and spoilt the overall experience. Our bus guide was excellent as were the staff at the cannon lookout.

Comprehensive tour of a historical and beautiful island - Comprehensive tour of beautiful Rottnest Island. Free time from the arrival of the ferry before the tour actually starts is sufficient time to visit the small museum and a few shops. The train and Olive Hill gun experience was interesting—there are stairs and walking on uneven surfaces. The bus tour goes from one end to the other, but felt rushed. Couldn’t hear or understand the guide some of the time. Would have liked more time at the few stops on the tour. You have to choose to either see the sight or go to the bathroom; not enough time for both. Time was constrained due to the ferry schedule.

Not very interesting - I was a bit bored on this trip. The commentary on the bus was hard to hear, and what I did hear was the driver mostly pointing out things.
The gun part of the trip was so detailed. Only an engineer needs that level of detail. What about information on how the men and women who worked there lived?
The packed lunch was surprisingly good.
We couldn't find the train station and we weren't alone.
And one last thing- more time at the end of the tour to do shopping would have been appreciated.
Tours like this are great for day trippers, but this one needs an overhaul.
