Going through your site we got a top deal ,the 90 min tour around the island was great fun ,fur seals. Lunch at the lodge was lovely,service on the boat was great. Ken and Lisa Gerrard had a top day, thank you we will use this site again and recommend it to our family and friends .

The wildlife cruise was great however I think it should be called "Wild Ride" wildlife cruise. We paid for the meal at Rottnest Lodge- definitely not recommened, worst meal have had in many many years!

Great day, beautiful location and amazing weather. Loved our wildlife cruise but wasn't quite as "wild" as was suggested. Guide and skipper were good. Lunch was ok but would have preferred to eat down near the beach and enjoy the views. Great way to see Rottnest in a day. Good value for money.

Gee it's pretty ordinary! And I paid a reduced rate with one of Viator's special deals. I am so embarrassed as an Australian when this sort of venue is put up as something special to overseas visitors. It's not the fault of the operator (except the price they charge). It's the venue .So it's on an island, which really is the same terrain above and below water as the mainland ( not exactly a tropical fish wonderland either). So what do you get there that's so special? You get very expensive prices for food,and drinks and alcohol (at the hotel). Yes it has to be transported there but it is REALLY expensive - and accomm. is even more outrageously priced. If you go, make it for one day and take your own food and refreshments!

a MOST WONDERFUL adventure :)......
even if we got heaps more spray on us in the open top deck during the trip back to Perth, than we did on that exhilarating bucket-list trip circumnavigating Rottnest :)

The trip over to Rotternest Island was great 'great weather'. The 'boot scooting' in the fast boat around the Island was something to remember.The food was absolutely salubrious. The museum and all the other sights were excellent. Your part in the enjoyment was without question well organised.

Great little Island, but if we did it again I'd hire a bicycle instead of taking the bus tour.

Rottmest island itself was so beautiful. The cruise was ok, it will be better if theres something like biscuits for morning tea, staff wasnt so friendly, and they didnt really announced that afternoon tea or wine tasting is ready. 1 set of snorkel gear were broken, too far away to replaced.

Adveture tour was amazing, best part of th trip!!! The best seats are right up the front. We saw NZ Fur Seals, Baby Sea Lions, Osprey eagles and Dolphins. Bring some sun screen.

All I can say is this was fabulous! We found out pretty quickly we had actually booked the qwrong tour. We wanted to cycle and snorkle, but after seciding to make the best of things we all agreed it was a great mistake. Everyone on this eco tour was professional, knowledgable,and a delight. They had everything organised and despite admitting that we may not see whales( dependant of course on nature) we were only 5 minutes out and saw our first sighting, a mother and calf.It was a fabulous adventure and not to be missed. We saw dolfins and New Zealand fur seals as well. I guess we were out for 90 minutes, taken back to shore for a lovely seafood lunch. We were lucky to get some bikes and travel about the island as well after lunch. It was a very warm day so in the end we were happy not to have cycled all day long! All in all we would recommend this tour!

Absolutely loved the trip across to the island and the Eco tour which took us to a pod of frollicking humpbacks. We were lucky to experience a wonderful sunny day and the whole day was ours to enjoy. Thanks for the friendly reception and the bright sunny dispositions of the tour guides. We immediately recommended the tour to our friends and family on our return to Victoria.

It was a great day out however the wildlife cruise was not a cruise it was a speed boat trip half way around the island. The skipper was a little rude to us as well.
