What people are saying about Western Australia

This is a great boat trip ! You catch the ferry over to penguin island to pick the boat up from there … The crew are helpful and friendly …. Josh narrates and has superb knowledge of WA’s wildlife and will answer any questions you have … Gary the skipper does everything he can to let you see and get up close to the action …… I liked the fact, they don’t artificially encourage any change of behaviour to Dolphins, Seals or birds I loved it, so did my wife and the grandkids wanted to do it all again !

Really enjoyable trip. Lots to see on the island. Definitely recommend hiring bikes as it’s the easiest way to get around. Hotel pickup/drop off was smooth and everything was well organised. Would recommend.

Ferry over to Rottnest Island was very bumpy, but the island itself is so beautiful, the tour was very informative and I liked that we had free time after to do what we wanted until the return ferry

Ferries well maintained, the staff friendly and helpful. Great commentary during the trip
