Located just 11 miles (18km) off the coast of Perth’s, Rottnest Island is widely regarded as one of Western Australia’s most beautiful islands with its stunning coral reefs, crystal clear waters and unique wildlife. Hop on a high-speed ferry from Hillarys Boat Harbour and enjoy free time to explore the Rottnest’s pristine bays and secluded beaches – some of the finest in the world and the island’s unique architecture at your leisure, before returning to Hillarys Boat Harbour in the afternoon.

It was a day spent with my brother for his 66th birthday. The weather was fine, sailing was smooth. The boat was well maintained, clean, staff were very happy and friendly. There were many things to do and see while on the island. A very memorable day for both of us. Thankyou all

The whole trip was fantastic from getting on the boat with a bike I’d hired, out across the water to the island. All the different places I visited … some by bike, others via the hop-on-hop-off bus. Everything was just spectacular, and the weather was just perfect.

Fast and convenient trip. Recommend to hire a bicycle before boarding to explore every corner in the island

The island was so beautiful and we enjoyed the hop on hop off bus service. It was as fun seeing the quokka’s. I can’t believe how tame they are.

Self guided tour. But everything went smoothly from Terrie picking us up in plenty of time for ferry from our hotel, to ferry times and crossing and back again.
Wish I would have checked in to staying in the island as 5 hours wasn’t long enough to soak in the beauty of the island.
Loved it and definitely hire a bike or take the hop on off bus to see more than the settlement.

We had discount vouchers from RAC and left it very late to book in. I emailed the company the night before and they responded first thing in the morning and completed booking in time for us to get the ferry. The ferry trip was excellent, comfortable and on time, having the late return at 6.45 gave us extra time to enjoy the island and not rush back .

This day trip cost around £45 each ($90ish) and we left the Hillarys around 10.00am. The Fast Ferry was busy as it was holiday time, but quick at about 40 minutes. The Island itself has some stunning bays, we set off walking around the northern shore from the Settlement. However, being a still, sunny day the flies were really annoying and extremely persistent, making it quite unpleasant. Fortunately the breeze got up and the problem was much less later in the day, but had it not the day would have been a bit miserable as the insects were constant. We thought about getting the bus South when back at the Settlement around lunchtime, however we didn't realise that the bus only went one way around the Island (anticlockwise) meaning we would run out of time, which was disappointing. However, talking to the Rangers it appeared that they have a series of free 'tours' that they run during the day including a walking 'Quokka tour' which took around 45 minutes around the Settlement and was really informative. It also pointed our popular viewpoints and photo opportunities that we took advantage of. The food and drink in the Settlement was reasonably priced. The dock was extremely busy at 4.30pm with many ferries leaving at exactly the same time (!?). The Fast Ferry we got back was an older one and not as well appointed as the first crossing, but the crossing time was still the same. A reasonable value day out but if you add in the almost necessary bus ticket or bike hire, it could be quite expensive for a family.
