Had an excellent time. Would highly recommend the adventure speed boat. Eli was brilliant and so passionate and knowledgeable. Skipper was great too (sorry forgotten her name). Quokkas have to be seen in person to understand how cute they are. Beautiful beaches. Definitely worth visiting. We took the ferry from Perth and although it is longer it is so much more relaxing and part of the trip. We got a drink from the ferry bar and watched the sun set coming into Perth.
Hi, Thank you for your 5-star feedback and for choosing to travel with us. We are thrilled to hear that Eli made your day a memorable one and that you had a wonderful day exploring the island. Kindest Regards, The Rottnest Express Sales Team
Very fun, did get wet haha. Would recommend for adventurious families. Got to see a lot. Just a long trip when coming from Perth way.
Thank you for your 5-star review Simone! We are thrilled to hear that you loved your visit and tour of Rottnest Island with us! Kind Regards, The Rottnest Express Sales & Marketing Team
Jody - the Capitan and Eli your guide had us enthralled and enthralled for the entire 90 mins. First the safety briefing, no need with Jodys skill and a boat that felt like it was a jet plane nothing was getting in our way. We were very lucky, mother nature turned up the volume and left us pumping, three pods of dolphins, one with a very small newborn and another couple clearly on their honeymoon had no interest in us. Throw in seals, osprey and Eli's knowledge it was a memorable trip. For an added thrill sit up front!
Thank you for your 5-star review and fab feedback Peter! It's fantastic to hear of your experience on the Adventure Boat Tour with our wonderful team. Thank you again for sharing your experience. Kind Regards, The Rottnest Express Sales & Marketing Team
Absolute value for money. Fast and enjoyable transport with just enough time to get in touch with the island. More than enough useful and interesting information about Perth city, Swan river, Fremantle and the island provided on both tours. To get full experience of Rottnest island you probably need to book 2-3 nights. That’s my plan for next time.

Rottnest Express Adventure Boat Tour — equal parts wildlife documentary and extreme sport We did the Rottnest speed boat adventure cruise today with my husband, our 13-year-old and our 9-year-old, and WOW! What an experience. First, let’s talk about Max, our tour guide, zoologist, wildlife whisperer, comedian, historian and (as it turns out) bar-staff on the ferry home. This man is a national treasure. He had us laughing and learning nonstop as we saw sea lions, a 70-year-old active osprey nest (with actual ospreys flying around it), and a huge pod of dolphins that felt like a real-life David Attenborough moment. He also shared the Indigenous history of Wadjemup (Rottnest Island) with warmth, respect and clarity. Then we bumped into him later working the bar like it was no big deal. Multitalented, brilliant, and genuinely lovely. Someone please give Max a raise. He’s absolutely smashing his job. Now… Jodie, our skipper. Look, she is clearly an incredibly experienced and highly skilled captain. HOWEVER… I sat near the front of the boat (despite being warned) and spent a good chunk of the ride feeling like I was starring in my own maritime disaster movie. I screamed. A lot. I had to apologise to the poor people in front of me for shrieking in their ears. That said, while I felt like I was going to die, Jodie rode the thin line between “thrilling roller-coaster” and “perfectly safe” like a true professional. It was fast, wild, and insanely fun, and I had the biggest grin on my face the entire time. Pro tip: sit further back if you enjoy living calmly 😂 The kids loved it. We loved it. It was exciting, funny, educational and completely unforgettable. If you’re going to Rottnest and you don’t do this tour, you are genuinely missing out. 10/10 — would scream again. 🚤🐬🦭
Great way to see all aspects of the island and meet some friendly locals while you are at it. Loved seeing the dolphins and the boat ride was awesome. Great crew onboard, would definitely do it again!!
This fantastic boat ride was a heap of fun and allowed us to see the coastline of the whole island and beautiful wildlife we wouldn’t have seen otherwise. Highly, highly recommend this tour.
Absolutely awesome and unforgettable thrill ride with Lochie, amazing and super safe boat skipper and Eli, the ultra knowledgeable and humorous guide. Saw animals up close, learnt so much about the eco system and history and had non stop fun on the waves. Recommend this thrill ride for the best and breeziest way to beat the heat and see the island from the water.
