• 5A Must Do Experience

  The staff is very accommodating. Due to traffic, we were late and missed our boat. They booked us on the next one with no hassle

• 5Easy way to explore Rottnest from Perth

  This was a great way to spend the day on Wadjemup/Rottnest Island with flexibility to explore. It was easy to find the ferry, and the skipper did a great job giving us commentary on the way out. I only wish there were a later return ferry so we could have spent longer on the island, but I know that we were a little too early in the season for it.

• 3Go by catamaran

  Seemed expensive for just the transport. There was a commentary but this was only audible upstairs. However the catamaran was very stable even in the bad weather.

• 5Well worth it trip to Rottnest!

  Great tour company, would suggest going with these people! Thought we had booked hotel pick-up weeks prior, apparently not, but it was a quick and easy fix over the phone. The boat journey there was a bumpy one, especially after picking up the Fremantle guests 😅, but the captain gave intriguing insight into Perth and the buildings/landmarks/neighbourhoods, etc. After arriving, we explored at our own pace for 20-25 mins and picked up some ice cream before going on the train to the other already-included tour about the history of Rottnest and its involvement in the war(?). Very informative and interesting. The bus on return provided lunch too, whilst also showing us to the lighthouse and other places around the island. We did have to get ready early for this (6am-ish) but it was worth it.

• 4Excellent cruise with great customer service.

  Great day unfortunately overshadowed by the weather. Excellent commentary and customer serve by boat crew who took a considered approach to meeting customer needs. Highly recommend this tour in calmer weather.

About Perth

Perth is the capital of Western Australia, a sunny Indian Ocean city on the Swan River with a large hilltop park, white beaches and the port of Fremantle.

Perth sits where the Swan River widens into a broad estuary on the Indian Ocean coast, and it is often described as one of the most remote large cities in the world, with Adelaide more than two thousand kilometres to the east. Kings Park, a large reserve of bushland and botanic garden on a hill, looks over the skyline and the water, and the Elizabeth Quay waterfront anchors the centre.
