Rottnest and Sealink are worth it - Hey Rottnest was great, weather started stormy then held off to let us walk and ride around island is mostly sunshine. Sealink were perfect, my partner had seasickness and fear from the rough conditions the Sealink crew member was kindness and care personified

Above and Beyond - Great crew took good care of us on the trip to the island. So friendly and went above and beyond including sharing Otter-Pops when the sea was less than calm and taking photos of our group.

Aussies visit Rottnest Island - Great ferry trip service.
Pleasant cruises from Perth to Fremantle then speeds up to cross to the island.
Some commentary as we cruised with good info off landmarks on the way.
Lovely staff onboard and Bar and snacks available.
Plenty of room and also has clean toilets onboard.
We took the 0830 and returned in the 1630 which gave us plenty of time for a great day on Rottnest.

interesting boat tour with little and a little more speed to Rotto Island - The trip with Sealink was really interesting and exciting. First we drove about 1 hour from Barrack Street Jetty to Fremantle at a normal quiet pace. From Fremantle it got a bit faster the last 30 minutes as we crossed the Indian Ocean. Fortunately it was not undulating as it was in the morning at 9.30 am. There was a small sweet on board as a welcome gift which was surprising and delicious at the same time. The ship was on time, on the outbound journey as well as on the return journey and the staff were nice. Everything worked out very well and you felt very well taken care of.

Great trip, but so expensive for a family of 5 ($395 return). - Great trip, but so expensive for a family of 5 ($395 return).
We had a wonderful day on Rottnest though it worth doing. We recommend the hop on hop off bus if you have small kids as riding the island is hard work.

I enjoyed my visit to Rottnest Island - I enjoyed my visit to Rottnest Island. Visitors can swim at a beach, ride a bicycle or enjoy a ride on retro Train and have a guided tour at Military Bunker from WWII. Local Buses provide Hop-on / Hop-off services on the Island. Plenty of restaurants and overnight accommodations are available at Rottnest Island.

A must do trip! - Anyone heading to Perth should definitely check out Rottnest Island. It is absolutely beautiful. We went snorkelling at little salmon bay which was stunning! Some of the beaches are very quiet and perfect to spend some time on with your travelling group.
We saw lots of quokkas. The best place to see them is by the main arrival and departure area.
The ferry staff were great and friendly too! It takes about 90 minutes to get across on the ferry but it’s a pretty ride. The staff talk you through what is around which is interesting.

Take the other ferry - Once we were on the ferry everything went relatively smoothly. The other company (Rottnest express ) did seem to be faster/ keep on schedule more. But the reason why I would not recommend or repeat myself is because of my poor experience purchasing tickets online and at the check-in window. Your website has problems. The first time I got all the way to the checkout page but it dropped my order when I used ApplePay. The second attempt was problematic too. I selected Perth to Rottnest for both but the website glitched and changed my selection for the morning sailing to Fremantle. I think this happened when I briefly considered adding a bike rental. You need to fix this or at the very least add a warning that the selections do not match so people can correct the glitch before checking out. Unfortunately the error wasn’t discovered until I got to check-in and your employee was not helpful. Initially she told me I needed to find a way to get to Fremantle ASAP and wouldn’t change my ticket to departure from Perth. I didn’t think we had time to make it to Fremantle so I asked for a refund on the entire trip. She refused. She then said I likely wouldn’t make it to Fremantle on time anyway. After this exchange, which was unpleasant, she then said she could add me to the Perth sailing but I would have to pay extra. Why didn’t she give me this option to begin with when we discovered the booking error? Why didn’t she waive the extra fee as a goodwill gesture after stressing me out as I was visibly upset?
