Reviews
Rottnest Island is an absolute gem, offering turquoise waters, pristine beaches, and the famous quokkas that make every visit unforgettable. The island’s relaxed vibe, car-free roads, and scenic cycling paths create the perfect escape from city life. Snorkeling at The Basin or watching the sunset at Pinky Beach are highlights not to be missed. The ferry ride itself is smooth, comfortable, and well-organized, with friendly staff ensuring the journey is enjoyable from start to finish. Convenient schedules and stunning ocean views make the trip part of the adventure. A seamless experience leading to paradise—highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
amazing place maybe the most beautiful island in the world ! it’s has become quite touristy in the last 10 years. I was the only person on this island when I came over a decade ago. but still worthy of visiting.
Great service, super quick and easy to book and we managed to do it the day before too. the only thing is the departure time is set - although you can call up to change
easy check-in and on time departure and arrival at B shed(Fremantle), we have a good family day there!! 🥰🥰🥰and most important thing: you can see quokkas everywhere!
Fast and easy to redeem. The email for the QR code was sent almost immediately upon confirmation. The ferry was smooth and comfortable.
the ferry would leave on time. so if you’re driving, pls reach even earlier and to find a parking lot. do note that the parking area right in front of shed b only allows 3 hr parking or so. u need to find another parking area (do ask around or ask the staff) nearer to the ticket office and remember to pay the parking fee. we saw many cars were fined for not paying the parking fee. other than that the ferry ride was smooth.
The user experience is excellent. After purchasing, a QR code for the ferry ticket is sent, which can be used directly to board the ferry. This eliminates the need to wait in line to buy tickets or exchange them, making the travel itinerary smoother. Return tickets can also have their times changed. Highly recommended.
To get the tickets, you just need to go to the dock you can take a bus to get there, and before the there will be a ferry ticket station, you just have to show the voucher on Klook and they will transfer the QR code for you for the round-trip tickets. You can check the timetable of the ferry and decide when to return, the time is really flexible as long as you purchase the ticket they won't have restricted time to return, take your time and enjoy the island and quokkas 😁❤️
Although the boat trip from Perth is long, the scenery on both sides of the Swan River is beautiful. You can take a sightseeing bus around the island to enjoy the beautiful scenery at various scenic spots.
The ferry tickets are very cheap and the location is easy to find. If I have the opportunity to go again, I will still book tickets from this company.
