Rottnest Island Ferry & Discover Bus Tour Package

/ /

Two people getting off bus on REX Discover Rottnest Bus Tour

See the whole of Rottnest in a day with a return ferry trip combined with a full-island bus tour.

Our fully air-conditioned bus – one of the few transport vehicles permitted on Rottnest Island – is a perfectly comfortable way to experience the beauty of this super-scenic isle. This 90-minute tour visits the island’s most spectacular locations, with insightful commentary shining a light on Rotto’s unique flora, fauna, history and culture. The bus makes one stop at Wadjemup Lighthouse – where passengers can hop off, take a short walk and soak up the views. You might even meet a quokka or two along the way.

It’s a very beautiful place! All the places are picture perfect, and the views are just stunning! If it’s your first time going there, it’s highly recommended to take the bus travelling from end to end. The bus ride itself takes one hour to finish, and the tour guide will actually give you some insight of the entire island’s history. A must go to place!

Really friendly, efficient and professional staff. Great experience from booking at the kiosk at Barrack Street jetty in Perth to disembarkation at the end of the day. We did the premium package, where the crew laid on a great spread with good coffee in the morning, and fab nibbles with wine tasting on the return. As we weren't renting bikes, the 90 min bus highlights tour with Larry driving and Malcolm giving really interesting and informative commentary (with a few groaners of jokes lol), was really worth it. Great value for money and highly recommend

The guys from Rottnest Express took us in quickly and free of charge after Sealink simply cancelled our last ferry without informing us. They also took our bikes which we rented from Sealink. Thanks for that!

On time departure of ferryIf you book from klook, remember redeem your printer receipt before queuing.A must go place if you’re in perth, cheaper if you depart here rather than Perth city.

Easygoing experience. In order to decrease the level of confusion for those, who arrive to Fremantle by train, I believe a sign towards B shed when exiting the railway station would be greatly appreciated.

Einfach zum Kotzen ;) unsere Tochter hat gekotzt. Da könnt ihr aber nichts dafür!Wir empfehlen den Service sehr. Freundliches Personal und bequeme Sitze.Je nach Wellengang ist es eine rechte Schaukelpartie macht jedoch Spass.Die Fähre ist pünktlich abgefahren und hat alles gepasst.Jedoch empfiehlt es sich Online zu buchen da Sie sehr beliebt ist.

Fast & efficient Ferry service. Very professional staff. Safety focus. Parked in all day garage near perth electric bike; hired e-bike for day. Only 5 min pedal to Rottnest Ferry B-Shed. After only 30 min ferry ride, I was biking on the Island. Repeat reverse on return. Whole experience was very convenient & efficient.
