Easy and professional. Our trip to the island and back was seamless. The need to remove battery from bike was a hassle. - Easy and professional. Our trip to the island and back was seamless. The need to remove battery from bike was a hassle. But they are unable to ensure no damage. Our bike as it was got quite knocked around with a lot of rental bikes leaning against it. I feel if you take your own bike it needs to be treated a bit better than the rentals. Apart from that both trips were fine.

Fabulous day - This was our first visit. I did a little bit of research and decided that the hop on/ hop off bus would be our best option It was very busy when we first got off the ferry, but after seeing some quokkas we soon got on a bus The buses were busy but so easy to use. We never waited long for one and we could do as we pleased What a beautiful place. The beaches were incredible especially Ricey beach. Stunning. It was a beautiful sunny day which helped. The ferry was a little bumpy on the outward journey, but smooth sailing back.

Rough on the way there,... - Rough on the way there, but we got to see whales so it was all the more worth it. No issues on the way back, but those with weak stomachs may not enjoy this ferry! Great service either way.

Our Family adventure to Rotto - The trip was a little rough on the way over and the grew were so accomodating and respectful helping those that weren’t feeling the best. We had the same crew on the way back and they were terrific

Great trip! - The ferry was a great way to get to Rottnest. It was very quick and ran smoothly, and the ferry itself was very clean and spacious.

Amazing Bucket list adventure - Fantastic whale cruise, the staff were amazing and the marine biologist was really informative and excited for all on board being able to see a Southern Right Whale which has been really unsual to see in this area. The Hump backs were passing by with their calves and smacking their tails close to our boat. All of the staff were friendly and looked after me really well as I was using a disability scooter. I would highly recommend this ferry and crew for making one of my bucket list a truly wonderful experience. Will be using Rottnest fast ferries for my next trip to Rottnest, Thank you so much

Book it, hop on the boat, you won’t regret it. - A fabulous opportunity to explore the island of Rottnest. And of course, it’s beautiful Quokka residents!! There’s are spots to swim, to eat, to picnic, to drink, to stay (if you had organised it previously) . A fabulous experience and we found the shops and restaurants really reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend.

Great ferry ride. - The ferry ride was great- around 45 minutes and the staff were really great. Drinks available to buy. Heaps of room in and outside of the ferry. Rottnest fast ferries are totally Australian owned which is great.
