Great day in rottnest, the ferry trip was nice - nothing very special but sufficient. It’s a big spacious ferry with restrooms and a bar. The trip is around 45 minutes. We got lucky and saw some whales! Rottnest is always worth the visit- beautiful beaches, very peaceful and a great place to spend the day riding a bike around the island, getting some snacks, cute pictures of quokkas or tanning. Definitely recommend.
