Excellent day out
Brilliant from start to finish. Pick was well manage by guide called Terry I think. Hillary's certainly know what they are doing in terms of the ferry transfer felt very well looked after. the island itself was much bigger thank I realized I should have hired a bike! As it was we took the train and walked for miles. Shops on site were offering great food and gluten free products as we eat gluten free. Georgina in the museum gave us great advice on where to see the Quokka's.

Quoka heaven
Get to the island to make the most of what's on offer, and maybe stay overnight. The quokas are pretty common I. The settlement

Awesome journey
It was a beautiful day, and I had the chance to see unique animals like the quokka, as well as the Australian crow, whose deep, husky call sounded quite unusual.
At the same time, it was deeply saddening to learn about the Aboriginal history of the island.

This tour has some quick...
This tour has some quick hop off/hop back on moments, and is a lovely way to see most of the island if you don't want to or can't bicycle or hike your way around.
Fiona was our lovely tour guide, very friendly and knowledgeable, and even took photos for us.
There are so many parts of the island to see, and if you have only one day, I would highly recommend this tour as a way to spend some of it.

Rottnest Island day trip including train and tunnel.
Study the map before arriving to the island. Got lost trying to find where the train was from the jetty. Get the train and do the tunnel tour. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and train driver very funny. Great experience with the quokkas around you while having lunch. Ferry ride was great.

Very friendly, efficient,...
Very friendly, efficient, and competent team. We especially appreciated the bus pick up to take us to the harbor. Easy to book as well.

Ferry ticket
Great day, however the bar code you are given won’t allow you on the ferry .. you have to go to the ticket office to get a boarding pass.. so I nearly didn’t get to Rottnest !

Island in the rain with quoka’s
We had a pre-booked boat and bus tour with Hillarys. It was a rather poor weather day - rainy, windy and a bit cool. The crossing was quite turbulent with many people needing to use sick bags. But when we arrived on the island it was idillic. The quokas were cute, the seagulls and crows less so. We had a lovely bus ride around the island with Rennie our driver who was informative, helpful, funny and engaging. We enjoyed a lovely fish lunch during the day, a visit to the museum to learn the various histories of the island including its tragic use as a prison for the indigenous population of WA. The boat trip back was not so bad. In all, a great experience, lots of fun, educational but moving to understand the history of the island.
