Rottnest Island is widely regarded as one of Western Australia’s treasures, with numerous white sandy beaches, secluded bays, abundant wildlife and fascinating history. Hop on the ferry from Perth to Rottnest Island and enjoy free time to explore the coast, walking trails, car-free roads and historical sites at leisure, before returning on the afternoon ferry to the mainland.

The round-trip ferry ride to Rottnest went really well. It was a nice boat, the staff were all very nice. It was great that there was an onboard bar with various drinks and munchies. All in all it was really good.

A 'monopoly' gives a business a freehand to get away with anything - of course given there are 2 Rottnest Island ferry companies - there is a choice. I suggest you exercise that choice and travel with SEALINK - here's why.
Bags do get lost when in transit - but mostly the transporting Company will make efforts to track them down - Not so Rottnest Express. Even when they labelled the bag incorrectly and it sat in another resort for 3 days !
They blamed the Resort (Pinkys) who were magnificent, as were the Program Dept. of RI - but NOT so the Rottnest Island Authority and definitely Not ROTTNEST EXPRESS - who gave us the run around and cold shoulder - even highlighting 'No Liability unless Negligent' -
Well, when you take receipt of baggage for passage and label it incorrectly - that, as a matter of WA law, constitutes negligence (unless the consignor accepts an incorrect receipt.)
That aside, though - the real issue was the Company's blatant disregard and its attempts to blame the delivery company and resort !
Please think before travelling this company and if you do- simply check and double check everything, as they are simply not superficially minded.

Nice ride. We had a good time on Rottnest & saw several quokkas. It would have been fun to spend the night if we’d had more time.

We traveled SeaMonkey, it was great, comfortable and they handed out zooper doopers as it was hot. We then used the hop on hop off bus to get around the island. The snorkeling was really worth while, and no matter how long you have you will want more time. The quokkas are in the town, look behind the bins, they like to stay out of the way

The experience was epic and relaxing. The ferry ride was splendid and the bus tour made our day convenient. However, we did run out of time to visit few places which we hope to cover next time. Hoping to visit soon!!

Rottnest express ferry from Perth water front to Fremantle passenger pickup to Rottnest Island, nice comfortable boat and well priced.
Very good commentary on places of interest while traveling down the harbour to the entrance. Reasonable selection of light food and bar selection.
Rottnest Island - lots to do, book before you go.
Ferry departs on time - don’t be late returning - some passengers were late back and missed the ferry.

Convenient day trip out. The quokkas are super cute and the coastline is picturesque in many places.

Everything about the ferry is fine except the subzero air con. Why on a day in the low 20s do you need to have the air con set to such a low temperature. Is it a floating refrigerator?

We had a beautiful day visiting Rottnest Island. It started with a nice ferry ride from which we spotted a whale nearby. We met a friendly local who advised us of ways to visit the island. Once on the island we got a quick bite to eat (they even had gluten free breakfast sandwiches!) then took the Island Explorer bus that circled the island and allowed you to get off look around at your leisure, then get back on again. The buses are supposed to come every 30 minutes but sometimes it was a little longer. We walked up to see the bunkers (bunker tour extra fee) and ended up spending too much time up there so we missed going to some of the recommended beaches. Also, we didn’t know about the snakes until we were committed to returning on foot through the bush. There were volunteer tour guides at some of the stops and it was worthwhile taking their tours. At the stop on the point we saw seals, whales and dolphins. We ran out of time after that and had to rush back to our return ferry but were delighted to observe the quokkas while we waited for the ferry.
