Discover Rottnest with Ferry & Bus Tour

It was great. The only regret was inability to hear the commentary due to a poor PA system which was inaudible on the lower deck. Apparently it was fine upstairs. We missed out on hearing anything about Perth or the suburbs on the river we were passing. On the bus the same tour guide was fabulous but we did pass on to her the lack of sound issue which was unknown to her. The business that operates those boats needs to lift their game and make sure their PA systems are in top condition all the time. We paid $400.00 for our trip and at that price we should have heard all the boat commentary but we heard none.

Highly recommended taking the bus tour if you are not keen in cycling and walking for reasons and yet it takes you through the island with a glance of the beauty of it together with good guide telling you some stories behind/from this island, real quick! :)

This tour is an excellent way to see the highlights of Rottnest Island. I have done this tour many times as I bring groups to Rottnest Island and I am always pleased when we have Holly as a guide. She is fantastic - very knowledgeable and delivers commentary that is both funny and serious depending on the topic.

It was by far the best way to travel the staff on the ferry was very helpful the tour guide are very knowledgeable about Rottnest you need to get there early to as it can get very busy once you’re on the island there plenty to do and there plenty of places to eat I would recommend rotnest express again they took care of everything from the ferry to the bus tour it all done in 1 place.

Our host Eli was so informative and passionate about the island’s wildlife, history and beaches! We were so lucky on our tour day to see whales migrating, dolphins, seals and osprey. We also saw an osprey nesting on the cliff top. Such a fabulous day! A big thank you to Cos our driver too!

Great trip. The boat ride was very nice . The bus tour was nice and rhe guide was very knowledgeable. Coming back, the boat ride was exciting as the waves were 2.3 meters. The boat staff encouraged folks to be proactive and take a sea sick bag. The island residents were very friendly . Saw one who had a Joey. They look like a small kangaroo and rat looking at the same time. Fun time.

Started with an untime bus transfer from our hotel, lovely cruise up the Swan River with commentary and across to Rottnest Island. Our luggage was taken to our accommodation to allow us to explore the island. Next day we went on the 90min bus tour with Sam our driver and Max as tour guide. Max made the tour interesting and fun. At the end of our stay, luggage was taken from hotel back to ferry for return trip to Perth. Great experience!

Excellent ferry and bus service, with an emphasis on safety. Knowledgeable and funny guide, told in an engaging way. Stops for photos.

We had a great time on our trip with Rottnest Express. Our guide Holly was funny and lots of fun, and provided heaps of information on both the ferry and bus tour. All communication was very clear. The bus driver Cos was gave us a very smooth tour around the island with plenty of stops for photo opportunities. We saw whales, dolphins, an osprey, and quokkas during a fantastic day trip. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful day. Simon the coach driver and Max the tour guide did a great job. Max was confident and knowledgable. Highly recommend this tour. We would have liked to stop at the lighthouse though! Awesome day out.
