Everyone should make the effort to go and see Rottnest island - We had a great trip from the morning ferry from Hillarys to the bay seeker bus tour on Rottnest. The service was outstanding and very helpful. We have been to Rottnest before and we have noticed how much things have grown and a lot more people, new places and activities.

It’s a must do experience-Ditch the bikes - What an amazing experience!! Mick our bus tour guide was a ripper and extremely knowledgeable also funny. I would highly recommend this tour rather than biking around the island. Or do both 🤣. You get to see all of the Island and bonus commentary/history of the island.

Awesome 👌 - This was a great trip. We were two families, the fast Rottnest ferries made our trip fantastic. The ferry was slowed down for the whale watching. The sailor ensured that all the passengers were safe and guided when whales were spotted. Kids thoroughly enjoyed whale watching. Ferry was on time and no delay. The guided bus tour was worth taking as the bus driver gave detailed information for every spot. I highly recommend trips for Rottnest via viator.com Thank you for making our trip memorable Ambuj

Great experience! - Had an incredible experience with Rottnest Fast Ferries! It was a really great deal and price, including a free courtesy coach pickup (and drop-off) from our hotel in Perth's CBD, ferry ride to Rottnest Island, hop-on hop-off bus tour of the island and admission to the island. We were picked up from our hotel in Perth by the courtesy bus, and Terry the driver was so friendly! This pick up option was especially helpful as it saved us time trying to figure out the public transport to Hilary's Boat Harbour. The bus tour of the island is great, especially if it's your first time on the island. It wouldn't be easy to walk or ride a bike to all the locations, but this way you get to discover and see all the attractions. The ferry ride was fantastic and all the staff were very friendly and helped make this an enjoyable experience :) Highly recommend!

Amazing views - Absolutely beautiful views along the coast of island. Was great to hop on and off the bus , you need to ask or press button for bus to stop. We asked guide at start which stops would be best for us to get off at and glad we did her advise was great. Loved our day and also did lots of walking at stops and between some short distance stops. 5/7.

Quick, easy and fun - Fun way to spend a beach day and viewing wildlife - the local quokka! If I were to do it again I’d make sure it wasn’t school vacation time. Although the kids around me were the first to spot the quokkas, so it made it easy for me to see them!

Comfortable bus ride round the island! - Comfortable bus ride round the island with the bus captain as our tour guide. Pristine sands, aquamarine waters, just scenic views as well as free roaming quokkas!

Disappointing - We had to sit in the back of the bus and couldn’t hear any of the commentary over the engine noise coming from the back . Also we had been of the understanding that we were getting a meal as my GF meal was added and a Vegan meal for my sister in law . We feel like we had been put on the wrong tour . Spoke to the driver she didn’t realise the sound factor in the bus said it wasn’t the normal bus she said she would report it to the bus company . Had also been sent numerous emails from Viator asking for pick up details when I had already contacted the company telling of our plans to meet at the boat harbour . We were somewhat disappointed at the whole process .
