Rottnest island is a fantastic island and cycling is the best way to enjoy it.
The ferry journey is pleasant from Perth.
The rented bikes are a bit old (brake and speed problems on some) and they don't have bikes for children.

The bicycles were a disgrace. Tyres not inflated and gears did not work correctly. Not bothered when we returned them

Got the ferry from Fremantle and hired a bike to travel around the island, it was a really great day, with amazing views, definitely recommend if you are staying in Perth. The wildlife was also amazing and so was the food!

fabulous day out we hired bikes on the Island, enjoyed picnic lunch on the beach and enjoyed the Swan river cruise from downtown Perth. Unfortunately we paid for express ferry home but this was cancelled due to unforseen circumstances. No communication from Ferry company so ended up very late back to Perth.

Had a fantastic time on Rottnest island. Catching the ferry from Perth gave us an opportunity to cruise down the swan river which was a bonus. Staff were friendly and getting off and on and picking up our bikes was seamless. The island itself is amazing and so picturesque. Plenty of food options, they even have subway. The Quokkas are so cute and friendly. The only thing that could be improved is street signage to make it easier to ride around and whilst they offered a bus transfer to the jetty in the morning you have to make your own way home in the evening which wasn't a big deal for us but might be for some. Overall it was a fantastic day out and I thoroughly recommend it.

Really nice day. Just cruising around the island on a bike at our own leisure was nice and then a nice lunch in the afternoon. Only saw 2 quokkas out in the wild as the vast majority hang around the main settlement. You can also take your own picnic to the island if you want to do it on the cheap.

Scenic ride around or across the island via different paths or catch the bus if your peddle power is lacking. Lots of coves or beaches along the way for a picnic or swim. A grocery store at The Settlement and several food shops will keep you fed and hydrated.
The bike was in good condition and quite good to ride, mostly in low gear for us, make time to photograph the seascape and the quokkas that are abundant, even in the town mall.

I booked via Viator and chose the pickup option from Perth city area but ticket issued via Fremantle area! When I called them they said I booked from Fremantle but I showed them the screen shot when I chose the pickup point! Ie city! They said I had to contact the tour operator directly and they were not interested! I could not cancel it as I booked it the day before less than 24 hours; I asked them if I could change it they said no! I said I was willing to pay more for pickup they said no!
I went to the city area and they did not help me and the tour was full so I had to get an Uber $38 to go to Fremantle
When I read the other review it seems I was not the only one and some other people had the same issue
So the computer booking system between Viator and the Rottnest Express need to be improved as the pickup point has been ignored when going through the payment!
the island was good and enjoyed the 25km bike ride despite having only 3 gears!
Book DIRECTLY would have been better than using Viator! Once it is booked not much support or power to change anything
Ended up paying for my transfer back as well
Instead of having a good relaxing day it became a frustrating annoying experience!
