Value Pack!

This experience is amazing! Free Perth Pick up to the Jetty is a bonus point! We had a wonderful day on the island!

Rottnest Island is small but packs a serious punch

Good experience but the experience could be planned better with more time needed. We found the time spent on the island very short and had to be on the run and move all day to meet tour and ferry departure times. Need more time on the island.
