Was an AMAZING experience at Rottnest Island! The ferry was super easy to get to and from the island and the staff were super helpful and friendly. I had a blast riding a bike throughout the island and enjoyed the quokkas during my route. The beaches are to die for! Such clear water and the sand was almost pearly white. It truly is an experience everyone must have to do at least once. I for sure am coming back very soon!!!

This marked the first day of my parents first trip to Western Australia since I moved here late last year. They enjoyed themselves almost as much on the ferry down the Swan River as they did on Rottnest Island. Without this context, it would've been fair to assume that they were on a honeymoon.

Every team member we met today was absolutely fantastic, we had an amazing day! The volunteer guide team was great, super knowledgeable and really friendly. Along with the staff who drove the bus and train for the grand island tour! They made the trip fun, and a joy to experience! Rottnest Island is a must see when visiting Perth and it is truly a beautiful place to visit, my wife and I highly recommend the grand island tour.

Both the ferry service and the Grand tour were amazing. Island is bigger than I imagined. Saw lots of Quokkas! Both guides were great. Not crowded, easy to get around (with pram). Good facilities. Yummy boxed lunch. I am from Vic, was visiting family in WA. Would go again. Good value. Highly recommended.

Absolutely brilliant day. Bikes could do with a tune up, but a bike is only as good as the legs pushing the pedals anyway. Would strongly recommend this trip. Beaches are amazing
