Unfortunately winds were up to 28 knots,but the whole crew did everything possible to make it a memorable trip.The captain did a fantastic job of navigating the vessel to make the trip as smooth as possible.We got the Premium package and so glad we did ,the food, service and staff were second to none. Highly recommended this package and would certainly do it again.

Konnte einen gebuchten un gezahlten Trip sehr kurzfristig wegen akuter Krankheit nicht wahrnehmen. Eine Stornierung mit vollständiger Rückerstattung wurde ohne zögern angeboten. Wirklich sehr kulant und freundlich.

Response from the owner: Hi Ricky, thanks for your review!
Response from the owner: Hi Ali, Thank you for your review, we'd love to hear more about your experience and how we could work to improve this for next time. Kind Regards, The Rottnest Express Sales Team
3 good things: the fast ferry to Rottnest departs from here, you can see whales from the ferry in October, and there's quite a nice market nearby to while away some time as you're waiting. Otherwise it's a ferry terminal in a big port.
Response from the owner: Hi Michael, thanks for your 5-star review!
Every time I've travelled with them the customer service has been outstanding and my journey smooth. The staff members working at getting the people and equipment on and off the boats are super helpful, happy and look like they enjoy their work! A great start and finish to my trip to Rotto.
Response from the owner: Hi Erin, Thank you for your glowing feedback, we are so pleased you had such an enjoyable time! Kind Regards, The Rottnest Express Sales Team
Fähtterminal as usual
Response from the owner: Hi Tom, thanks for your review!
Response from the owner: Hi Juliano, thanks for your 5-star review!
Massively overpriced and expensive for what was a brief 30-40 minute ferry return journey ?The ferries are not nice enough to justify 190AUD for two !When my partner was feeling very seasick the staff were particularly helpful and attentive so thumbs up for that.
Response from the owner: Hi Harvey, Thank you for your review. Kind Regards, The Rottnest Express Sales Team
Easy purchase of ferry ticket, however, suggest to reach earlier if you drive to secure a parking..It took me 45 min to get one!!
Response from the owner: Hi Vicky, Thank you for your 5-star review and feedback. Kind Regards, The Rottnest Express Sales Team
Response from the owner: Hi Kim, thanks for your review!
Still to do our trip but young Tom was extremely helpful explaining our options for booking the Rottnest Express ferry with our ebikes. And gave us some good tips on the best way to cycle the island.
Response from the owner: Hi Mark, Thank you for your glowing review and feedback on our service. We are so pleased you had such a great experience with Tom and will be sure to pass it on. Kind Regards, The Rottnest Express Sales Team
We loved the 90 minutes adventure Rottnest boat tour! Nice staff very informative. We spotted Humpbacks, seals and ospreys!
Response from the owner: Hi Inge, Thanks for your 5-star review and glowing feedback. We are so pleased to hear that you had such an enjoyable day. Kind Regards, The Rottnest Express Sales Team

Whale whale hello there! 👋🏼 

The whales are back in town for another season which means it is time to hit the water. Departing September till November from B Shed in Fremantle, you can hop on a 2-hour cruise of the Indian Ocean while we track down some of the most majestic creatures you will ever see. 🐳

The best part? Whale sighting is guaranteed or your money back!
