Quokkas - This is a tour that is very good, but each section you need to be wary you are not with a group from start to finish of the day. The group tour starts on the island at the train station

Great day trip - Our day started perfectly with whale sightings on the ferry across to Rottnest Island. The train ride up to Oliver’s Mount was a great experience, and the guided tour around the guns was both fascinating and informative — our volunteer guide really brought the history to life. Lunch was simple but tasty — a wrap, a couple of biscuits, and a bottle of water — before we continued our island coach tour. The scenery was absolutely stunning, with plenty of photo stops along the way. Back at the settlement, we met the famous quokkas, which was a real highlight, and even spotted more whales on the ferry ride back to Hillarys. Our guide Leah was outstanding — friendly, knowledgeable, and a great photographer too! Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Perth.

Fantastic tour - would definitely recommend - The tour was excellent and great value for money. Nicky the tour guide was fantastic, very knowledgeable and friendly. Even the lunch was great. The only issue is there is nothing to let you know where to go when you get off the ferry. I didn’t even know we had to meet at the train station never mind how to get there. I assumed the tour was on a bus so got direction to the bus stop but could clearly see that wasn’t right so then had to ask again and was finally directed to the station. Everyone else waiting there had had the same issue and none of us were quite sure we were in the right place until the tour guide arrived. It needs to clearly say in the emails to meet at the station and some clear signage of how to get there once you are on the island - at the ferry stop.
