A good tour package. You can enjoy an overall view of the island. Quokkas are everywhere in the late afternoon.
Operator response
Yes, the late afternoon (and evenings) are the best time of the day to see Quokkas!

Interesting but too long to wait for the return trip.
I enjoyed the tour. It was informative, welcoming and comprehensive. The return journey didn't happen until 4.30 pm. I found that, having had lunch, there wasn't much to occupy my time.
Operator response
Thanks for yoour feedback. We hope you enjoyed the day. Please know that you can always contactus to see if you can return to Fremantle instead of Perth if you would prefer to return to the mainland earlier.

Visit to Rottnest
Rottnest Island was a very interesting place to visit. Very touristy though and although seeing Quokkas is heralded as a main attraction, it turns out they are nocturnal animals. We did see some, but only those who continue to be fed by people, despite this being extremely bad for them. The bus trip Around the island was informative, but it was a shame there were no opportunities provided to get out and go for a walk (only 2 5 minute stops) or a swim at some of the gorgeous beaches. The commentary was also a bit dated. All up a slick tourist operation, and a unique experience.
Operator response
Thanks for your detailed feedback, sounds like overall you enjoyed your experience on Rottnest Island!

Rottnest worth visiting

Bay bus tour was good, we were on the 11:15am tour, by the time you get back and have lunch we had enough time to walk to the basin and had a swim then made our way back to the ferry

Sounds like a perfect day on Rottnest Island!

Brilliant day
Brilliantly organised. We did the Perth Sealink ferry and the Bayseeker bus tour which was excellent. A brilliant driver who gave us the commentary throughout. We were booked on the later Perth ferry but changed it without issue to an earlier Fremantle return ferry. Love the flexibility.
