Great day out and well looked after by Sealink for return trip from Perth as well as the Rottnest Island bus tour company. Quokkas lived up to their reputation for being cute and happy to pose for photographs.

I would thoroughly recommend this tour. A truly comprehensive way to see all of the island. The various tour guides are expert in their areas. I came away feeling like I had learned a lot more about West Australian history.

I took Pinnacles all inclusive Rottnest island tour.Ideal when tou have just a day and want to see it all;Besides being senior freindly.
The pick up was spot on.The whole trip was at a leisurely pace and covered by very knowledgeable and guides proud of the history of the place.This gave me a better feel of the place as it was since the WW2 times.
As promised had a good Tete -A-Tete with the Quokkas too.
A sumptuous vegetarian lunch was provided for me-On the whole a great expereince.
Spots for improvement would be:
Have a signage at the ferry landing itself to direct clients to the train station(There were non english speaking people who struggled and were confused, though the information centre personnel put in all efforts to help them.)
The public address system in the tour bus needs to be more efficient.

The tour provided pickup and drop off from our hotel and took us to the departure dock for the ferry. After we landed on the island we went to the visitor information centre and got our bearings - a visit to the local store before heading up to the bus departure point - a train ride to the gun battlement with very informative guides and lunch at the site before getting on a airconditioned bus for a tour of the island and history., We got to take some photos of Quokkas - unique to the Islands off Western Australia. The Quokka is a small macropod about the size of a domestic cat. We finished off the day back at the bay have a glass of Prosecco at the bar before heading back.

Would have been nice if a guide was near the jetty to give directions to the train or have clearly marked where the train leaves from. It was like it was a self guided tour to begin with. Lunch was nice, Wayne our bus driver seemed knowledgeable

We have been waiting in anticipation for this trip. The boat ride to the island was very good and upon arrival we had to navigate our way to the railway station. It was a hot day, no breeze on the 10 minute or so walk to the train.
The train ride was interesting with great views of the island. Unfortunately the engine on the train overheated it stopped and we were stuck for over 20 minutes on a hill about 500 metres short of our destination.
The engined cooled and we finally made it to the gun site and commenced our tour. This tour is challenging for those with mobility issues, indeed one member of the tour suffered a fall and had difficulty climbing the various stairways to return to the starting point. There were limited options to extract this person and it was a slow trip back, step by step with two people assisting.
The alternative was to call an ambulance for assistance.
The trip ultimately continued but the airconditioning on the coach was useless, it was 30 degrees C on board and the flies were everywhere.
Overal the tour was good but the failures of equipment and the fall of one member cast a shadow on what might have been a more memorable day.
The return boat journey was highlighted by the captain stopping the boat several times to allow passengers to see breaching whales.
One mother and calf swam under the vessel, an unbelievable experience.
Lastly we managed to see the quokkas in the village area, now that was a memorable experience.

We had a great time on this tour. Catching the ferry from Perth had the extra benefit of a cruise down the Swan River. Commentary was excellent throughout. Seats were very comfortable. Tour of the island was perfect for a day trip. The light lunch we were provided (a chicken wrap (excellent) and a bottle of water) was perfect. Bus tour was an excellent way to see the island and there was plenty of free time to check out the local shops.

Travelling solo and not wanting to wander about alone, I chose the Grand Island Tour and was not disappointed. The bus tour was well paced, with a great guide and a comfortable bus. I definitely feel like I’ve seen the highlights of the island and would love to return one day with family and friends to explore via bike.

OMGOODNESS! Great day! Great trip!
The bus ride, while we had an informative and fun driver, was a bit disappointing. I get that to cover the whole island in one afternoon you have to keep moving but we just drove by most of the sights or if we did stop we couldn't get out of the bus and had to take pictures out of the window. I was lucky I was on the left hand side of the bus so was on the side facing the water and had the better views. Not the drivers fault...and he did his best to make up for it with lots of interesting information and stories about the island.
