- The ranking of tours, activities, and experiences available on Tripadvisor is determined by several factors including the revenue generated by Tripadvisor from these bookings, the frequency of user clicks, and the volume and quality of customer reviews. Occasionally, newly listed offerings may be prioritized and appear higher in the list. The specific placement of these new listings may vary.
We perform checks on reviews.
Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Supriya S2 contributionsI'm so glad I did this, the guide was so good, she explained everything, have us loads loads of facts and getting the coach option was worth it. It was a good introduction to the island and when it was over I had seen everything and could use my time to go see what really appealed to me.
I had the best time and managed a selfie with a quokka, making my trip worthwhileReview of: Discover Rottnest with Ferry & Bus TourWritten 3 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Michael H3 contributionsHad a great time on the island, great snorkeling and beautiful beaches. Love the quokkas and other wildlife. We biked around the island and found the bikes in nedd of some fine tuning. The signage on the island isn't the best either. I used Google maps in the end. Great day otherwise!Review of: Experience Rottnest with Ferry & Bike HireWritten 19 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sarah LMurray Bridge, Australia85 contributionsWe traveled SeaMonkey, it was great, comfortable and they handed out zooper doopers as it was hot. We then used the hop on hop off bus to get around the island. The snorkeling was really worth while, and no matter how long you have you will want more time. The quokkas are in the town, look behind the bins, they like to stay out of the wayReview of: Rottnest Island Round-Trip Ferry from PerthWritten 29 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Amanda H1 contributionThis tour was fantastic and exceeded our expectations. The guides were amazing and extremely knowledgeable. it was definitely nice have them explain things as we snorkled and point out the amazing sealife when they spotted them. My kids can't stop talking about it and my husband and I had the best day out. Thanks to the crew for making the tour so good.Review of: Rottnest Island Guided Snorkel Boat ExperienceWritten 1 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Meg & BexThailand20 contributionsThis adventure boat was a 10/10 experience, Jodi was incredible at spotting wildlife and navigating the boat which was so thrilling and scenic doing a full loop of Rottnest Island and Nadine was an amazing tour guide who offered us so much information and continuously did her most to make sure everybody was comfortable and enjoying the ride! We spotted bottlenose dolphins, NZ fur seals, Ospreys and Australian Seals. This was totally incredible and I couldn’t recommend it enough!Review of: Adventure Rottnest Tour with Ferry & Adventure CruiseWritten 29 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Danielle S1 contributionI’ve never been to Rotto so thought a tour would be a good way to experience everything. I booked online the night before. When we collected our tickets there was some sort of a mix-up that required the lovely clerk to rebook everything- no issues, it just took her a few extra minutes.
The ferry ride over on Rottnest Fast Ferries was good - smooth, in a spacious 3-deck catamaran with a snack bar that also sells alcohol. It was a 45 minute ride from Hillary’s to Rotto.
There’s no tour guide for the whole journey. We were left to find our own way to the train station for the tour to Oliver Hill once we reached the island. Signage was average but we managed. This tour was excellent, run by very knowledgeable volunteers. It does involve a bit of walking and some stairs. Side note, keep your ticket after you get on the train, as you need it to get into the Tunnels tour. (Shoutout to the awesome lady at the Fast Ferries call center who reissued my ticket via email after I threw it out!)
We took the train back into town - it was a 30 minute ride out but 15 minutes back, arriving at 1330. The bus part of the tour was to depart at 1345. We went to the bakery to buy pre-made rolls for lunch. (The tour provided Subway vouchers for lunch but Subway was busy and we didn’t want to miss the bus.)
The bus tour was run by Kevin who was an excellent guide, sharing many stories and facts about the area. This bus tour is a stay-on-the-bus tour, something to keep in mind if you want to take photos, as you need to be quick! We were unable to see West End due to construction in the area, and landed back in the settlement at 1515.
We had an adequate hour to relax with a drink and quokka-watch before our ferry departed at 1630.
All in all, this was a very good way for a first-timer to see everything without cycling 25km!Review of: Rottnest Island Full-Day Trip With Guided Island Tour From PerthWritten 8 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - JoBrisbane, Australia61 contributionsThe tour gave us a good overview of the island. We started at the train station and headed up to Oliver Hill. The tour guide gave us a lot of information about the guns and tunnels. Much was basic but nice. The bus tour was interesting and the bus driver was very knowledgeable. However, the stops we made once on the bus were brief and we were rushed back to the bus so we didn’t get to enjoy or appreciate any of them.Review of: Rottnest Island Grand Tour Including Lunch and Historical Train RideWritten 14 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Gavin DAl Khobar, Saudi Arabia30 contributionsThis is a really fun trip to do and it's marginally cheaper than booking the ferry and the bus trip on Rottnest Island separately on their own. Although do note that a) the bus trip doesn't let you off anywhere. If you want that option, get the hop on, hop off bus. On this bus tour though you do get some excellent commentary, and b) once the bus tour is done after about 1 3/4 - 2 hours, you're left to your own devices.Review of: Rottnest Island Bayseeker Day Trip from PerthWritten 25 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TessabelleDarwin, Australia90 contributionsWe absolutely loved everything about this amazing day out! 7 course of mouthwatering incredible food cooked onboard by an amazing chef, friendly staff, a beautiful boat, was able to see dolphins, and really an incredible day out.

- KazarrinaMelbourne Australia8 contributionsWe rented bicycles from Hilary’s port and the bike I used had faulty gears and seat, making for a less pleasant time. Afterwards they better explained that they could have sent someone to me within minutes to replace the bike. So if this happens, call them! I made the assumption that they couldn’t simply replace the faulty bike given we were on an island!Review of: Rottnest Island Fast Ferry from Hillarys Boat Harbour Including Bike HireWritten 12 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
