We took the premium ferry from Barrack st, Perth and it was above and beyond what we expected. Excellent service, spacious seats with beautiful views. The food and drink selection was superb, and there even was a guided tour associated with the ride. I must admit I was really impressed with what they were able to deliver. We even were provided bikes to ride the island directly which saved us so much time, we were able to explore straight away. We also did the Eco Express Adventure boat ride and wow that was something else! We got to see all of the island along with dolphins and seals up close. HIGHLY recommend, already planning to do this all again.
The staff provided excellent service and were exceptionally welcoming, even offering us complimentary ice cream, which was a thoughtful gesture. However, I personally found the prices to be somewhat excessive for what was offered. Additionally, the island itself felt overly commercialized and crowded with tourists, which detracted from the overall experience and made it unlikely that I would choose to visit again. That being said, the boat trip was enjoyable and provided a relaxing way to take in the surrounding scenery.
The B Shed pier is about a 5 minutes walk from the station. You could get on the ferry directly with your QR code but it never hurts to ask for confirmation first. Staff would offer an island map and a ferry schedule for your reference.
Thank you for a fantastic day. The ride on the ferry and the bus tour with Cos and Eli was absolutely amazing 👏. Eli, your love and knowledge for all things regarding this island and it's history and environment was first class. Very informative bus tour. I will be back PS. I LOVE how excited you are for the dolphin sitings. I'm the same.
Had a great day at Rottnest Island via Rottnest express tour. The bus ride with Cos Driving and Eli doing a running commentary as we went he is extremely knowledgeable. I loved his enthusiasm for the dolphins. All in a very positive experience. Thanks
