A great day out visiting Rottnest and the Quokkas.

SeaLink crossing only takes 35 minutes - you don’t need the fast ferry. The tour is worth booking to be able to see and learn about the whole island. Very enjoyable day.

Operator response

Brilliant, thanks Jill for choosing SeaLink as your ferry to Rottnest Island!

A great day out.

We had a lovely day on Wadjemup (Rottnest Island) The ferry was good, the bus tour was excellent with lots of interesting information and scenic views. A bit rough on the way back to Fremantle but that’s the sea for you.

Thanks for your feedback, glad to hear that you enjoyed your experience on Rottnest Island,

Worth the Trip- Ferry and bus tour

Boat trip over and back was great. Was a little rough on return but still good. Did the bus trip around the island. Would recommend as it was a warm day and bus aircondiitoned and got to see alot of the island. Commentary of the driver was informative and great. Got to see a few Quoka's.

Operator response

It’s been 40 years since I visited and was relieved that it had not lost its vibe.

Well organised but a little vague where bus pick up was on Rottnest. Sealink staff extremely helpful (Rob) when I lost my phone on the island., He followed up with police on the island. Fantastic. Above and beyond - a huge thank you. Annoyed to see tourists touching and feeding the Quokkas to obtain the best photos.

Operator response

Thanks for your great feedback, and we will be sure to pass your comments on to our Crew, Rob, as well. We pride ourselves on going 'above and beyond' for our customers! Kind regards, Kat from SeaLink Rottnest Island

Good transportation for Rottnest Island

Good correspondence and easy to find ticket location for ferry. Bus tour was ok, but would have enjoyed longer and more stops. Not a lot to do besides eat near the ferry docks. Perhaps a longer bus tour, or shorter time on the island
