Awesome journey

It was a beautiful day, and I had the chance to see unique animals like the quokka, as well as the Australian crow, whose deep, husky call sounded quite unusual. At the same time, it was deeply saddening to learn about the Aboriginal history of the island.

Terry is a legend!

Terry is a legend, he went above and beyond. Very nice trip and extremely quick. I thoroughly recommend doing Rotto by these means.

Easy and trouble free

So easy. On time and trouble free. Unexpected bonus was the complimentary bus service to and from our stay area (Scarborough) . Bus on time with friendly driver both ways.

Ferry ticket

Great day, however the bar code you are given won’t allow you on the ferry .. you have to go to the ticket office to get a boarding pass.. so I nearly didn’t get to Rottnest !

Excellent Ferry Company

We have travelled to Rottnest many times on Rottnest Fast Ferries. Never any issues, helpful staff at the check-in counter, easy online booking, ferry staff are excellent. It is great to have this service from Hillarys.

Fast efficient and friendly ferry service.

Really efficient service. Much easier getting the boat from Hillary’s as plenty of parking. Friendly crew on board. Air conditioning and comfortable seats or outside seating if preferred. There was a little bit of a wait in the return journey but we were on holiday so didn’t matter!!

Ferry left right on schedule. Exchanging the voucher for a ticket was easy and quick! The ticket window was a short walk from the ferry itself
