There was parking available and easy to pay and display. It was easy to exchange voucher for tickets. The ferry was onetime and the crew were friendly. Rottnest is a lovely island and we really enjoyed our time there.

It was amazing journey as well as staff are so friendly. In terms of the cleanness’s it was good and over all it was good service. For my recommendation if your management could offer some water while travelling back and forth.

Helen_M, Mar 2026
The beautiful scenery, great food, quokka that came right up to us And not to mention the excellent boat ride over and back 😁👏🏻

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Wonderful to hear, thansk so much Helen!

Don't miss Rottnest Island 💯💯

Roger_B, Mar 2026
Rottnest island is a location not to be missed if you are in Western Australia. We had a great experience on board the boat to the island. Even though viator doesn't show all their trip times, I was able to change my return time to a time that was more suitable to us without any extra charge when I received my tickets. I would certainly use this service again and I am pleased with the experience that I have with viator in helping me to find local experiences to participate in

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Great to hear, thanks so much for the 5-💫💫💫💫💫!

Freo to Rottnest Island return ferry

Rima_E, Mar 2026
Great trip across from Fremantle to Rottnest Island and return. Team on the boat were super friendly and offered zooper doopers to its passengers.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Brilliant, thank you so much for your 5-⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ review!

Before boarding

Adiel_N, Mar 2026
I didn’t know that before joining the queue, you need to have a printed copy of your ticket from sealink, this was only communicated right before boarding which made me feel lost

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Oh, we are so sorry to hear this. You can either have a printed ticket or a ticket on your phone, so long as it is a SeaLink Rottnest Island ticket. We hope you were still able to enjoy your day with us!

Opinion

Tracy_S, Feb 2026
The captain and crew were very polite and cared about the passengers, making sure everyone was ok, as the seas were quite rough coming back Handing out Zooper doopers to all

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Yes, the zooper doopers are a bonus when the ocean is a little bumpy!

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Thanks for your feedback. There are fresh water drinking taps on board each vessel at the bar, for customers to refill water bottles or have a cup of water to drink, complimentary. We are sorry that you missed seeing these as they are on all our SeaLink Rottnest Island ferries.

Carolyn_B, Nov 2025
Crossing can be a little rough. Take travel sickness precautions. If you sit outside on top deck be prepared to get wet!!

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Thanks for your feedback Carolyn, we hope you had a great experience with us despite the conditions.

Great experience.

Faith_W, Nov 2025
Check in and booking was very straight forward. Return was easy also and refund of deposit was made with-in the 24hours (which they stated it would) so I was very happy with that. Bikes were in good condition. The only reason I am not giving 5 stars is because all electric scooters and bikes were sold out. Next time we will definitely book online in advance.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Thanks for your feedback, pleased to hear that you enjoyed your experience with us. SeaLink hire out pedal bikes; e-bikes and scooters are bookable through Pedal and Flipper, the bike shop on the island.

Ferry

Gurmukh_S, Nov 2025
Great service. A bit over priced. 40 mins ferry, paid $173 for 2 person. Overall it is a good experience to go for a a-day trip or fee days.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Thank you for your feedback, good to hear that you enjoyed your day on Rottnest, it is a great way to spend a day and is really a 'must do' when in Perth.

The crossings themselves...

Paul_F, Oct 2025
The crossings themselves were fine. Unfortunately, there were problems with the ticket. In the morning, I was allowed onto the ferry without any problems. In the afternoon, the ticket was no longer accepted. Other people had two different barcodes, but I only had one. Only when I showed the man my voucher, which clearly stated that I had booked the return trip at 4 p.m., did he let me onto the ferry.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thanks for your feedback Paul; we are sorry for the confusion with your ticket, we are not sure what happened there. We hope you enjoyed your time on the island though,

Great Trip .

Tracey_B, Oct 2025
Sitting on the top deck was great fun, you see so much more, but be prepared to get soaked ! The crossing was on time, well organised and the the crew great fun and professional. Thank you 😊

Had a great time. The ferry left on time and was easy to find. No complaints. Choppy on the way to Rottnest (whih was fun), and very smooth on the way back.

Quokka Experience Extraordinaire

Darlene_A, Aug 2025
Be well rested or stay on the island to get full experidnce, 1 day is not enough. I enjoyed meeting manh hospitality employees who were all very enlightening & personable. Wished k had more time with them too & the Quakkas!!

Best day trip from Perth /Fremantle.

Margaret_B, Jul 2025
It is a fantastic day trip from Perth or Fremantle where I boarded. The hop on hop off bus was fantastic as it gave us the choice to hop off n explore the Island completely. Lots of places to eat n shop at while the very cute quokkas hopped on by. A fantastic day trip from Fremantle.

Booking and experience great.

Joni_B, Jun 2025
It was generally very good. My only problem was trying to get my voucher. The link kept breaking down. The email kept the process going smoothly. A very enjoyable day and the viator booking helped a lot.

It was excellent

Emmanuel_A, May 2025
It was our 1st time visiting this beautiful island so we didn't know what to expect.The hop on hop off bus is the best way to go around the island there are some spots to swim,walk around etc.If you want you can tide your bike around.

Daniel_M, Jan 2025
Good service, On time, well organized pick up & drop off. Polite and professional staff! We've enjoyed travelling with Sea Link, kids had a great experience!

Family in the sun

Shane_B, Jan 2025
Watching my grand son see the quokas and experience the boat ride over, only negative was the other tourist and there lack of sticking to the left whilst riding there bikes that was crazy, I think there should be better signage for everyone as the maps are a little difficult to read and a simple painted foot paths stick to left would be easy and signs to let people know where bus pick up and tour arrows would be great. Thanks TB
