Doing what: Full-Day Rottnest Island Bike and Snorkel Tour

We had a great day. The ferry trip was informative. The push bikes where in good condition. Morning and afternoon tea was basic but did the job and wine tasting was ok. The 20min tour on arrival didnt happen. Organised our own lunch.

nice seafood~~~i took the best photo shot there

Doing what: Full-day Rottnest Island Tour including Wildlife Cruise

Excellent in every way.

This is not actually a tour as you don't actually have a tour guide -- misleading. You are expected to tour the island on your own. So if you want to do that then you should just organise that yourself. Terrible experience

This was a fabulous trip, the adventure cruise was better than we were expecting, the boat ride alone was exciting (like a roller coaster is how the guide described it) and we saw seals, eagles and sea lions amazing!! would highly recommend a trip to Rottnest.

it was an enjoyable trip.
the island is huge, it is difficult to have a whole look by biking and will get too tired.
recommend who will go there buy bus ticket to have a look.
the quakka(mice) was not anywhere, can be only see by chance

The 'Tour' Isn't a full day. Basically you get on the ferry with everyone else, and once at the island you're sped around the island on a speedboat which stops a couple of times. After that you're on your own. Don't expect to see very much, or to talk to anyone knowledgeable about the island and its wildlife. Save your money.

Very enjoyable day at Rottnest Island. Ferry from Perth to the island was comfortable and informative- with lots of historical facts and trivia and bike / snorkel rental process was very easy. Island itself has stunning scenery and the beaches are top notch. If riding a bike make sure you take plenty of water with you. Definately one of those experiences that is a "must do" whilst visiting Perth!

All worked as advertized. Very professional.

This was a really great day, the only exception was the bikes - there is no back holder or basket to put items in. This was made OK by the fact there was onsite lockers, however might consider looking in to having some fitted for choice.
Commentary and trip over was amazing, Rottnest Island is lovely and it was a clear day!

Beautiful beaches, nice trip. In the northern part insects are really annoying, however I don't know why but in the southern part there was hardly any to be seen. Recommendation: leave your T-shirt on while snorkeling.
The only negative point with my trip was that lunch was included and one had to take it at 12 pm, which does not make too much sense when you arrive at 11 am, hence only 4 stars.

Nice day, unfortunatley it was raining!!

The wildlife tour was spectacular. We were lucky enough to see whales, dolphins, tortoise, eagles and sea lions. The Team on the wildlife cruise made it a very informative and fun time. Theywere always respectful of all tourists and ensured that everyone was happy at all times. I would highly recommend this tour. The island itself was also extremely beautiful and peaceful. The perfect place to go to if you wish to unwind, relax and get back to nature.

This is a great package if you are interested in maintaining independence compared to led tours. The cruise is open to the public and people take up different options so you aren't neccessarily tied to a group. The Aristos lunch was fresh fish and chips with a nice view across the port. The wildlife cruise was a proper wave bashing tour around the island and we saw plenty of whales - if you aren't prone to sea sickness, go for it! Also, you have a couple of hours to wander around or sit on the beach. We went walking around the lakes and found plenty of Quokkas to photograph. A great full day out.
