Rottnest Island Round Trip Ferry from Fremantle

Posted By : karenvandalen
Great trip on the Ferry from Fremantle with friendly crew. If going on this trip make sure you book ahead either the hop on hop off bus or e bikes. The Island has so many beautiful areas to visit. Great food available at the Main Settlement. Bakery was amazing. I would also suggest to spend the whole day to be able to take everything in. The Quokkas are so cute.

Great tour, we have a good day at the island. We will be there again. If you are returning on the same day and have young children with you, it is recommended to take a bus tour and then rent a bicycle for leisure activities. Don't forget to bring sunscreen, plenty of food and water.

A great little island, famous of course for its lovely quokkas, they really are easy to find, especially if you’re near the food outlets. The trip from Fremantle was great, smooth trip and took about 30 minutes. We also did the bus tour, the signage to the bus meeting point wasn’t the easiest to find but we enjoyed the whole experience.

Quokkas and the beautiful nature reserves are the reason to plan a visit to this island. While the cost to reach there is on the high side (i.e. close to 100AUD for a 2-way ferry ticket, excl. any rental of facilities on the island such as bike), it is still worth a visit if you have the time and loves the sea and sun!

Despite both my brother-in-law, who has Down syndrome, and me being injured and covered in blood after an accident on the island, the ferry company neglected to provide adequate assistance upon our departure. Even worse, they reached out to dispute our negative review on TripAdvisor after ignoring our initial email feedback. Their social media agent even laughed at the fact that my partner and I left reviews, saying, 'One wasn't enough? Hahaha. ----- What a surreal and unsettling experience I had with this ferry company – it felt like something straight out of Black Mirror. Despite providing feedback on the lack of empathy service we received, we received no response to our email. However, the moment we posted on TripAdvisor, things changed drastically. When both my brother-in-law, who has Down syndrome, and I experienced an accident on the island, leaving me with 8 stitches, 4 broken teeth, and my brother-in-law having to amputate a piece of his finger, we were shocked to find that no one from the ferry crew assisted us in leaving the ferry. Despite the nurses calling ahead to inform them of our injuries, we received minimal help. It's important to note that when the company contacted us afterward, they didn't want to speak to me about the accident or who was involved – they wanted to speak to my partner, who wrote the review. It was infuriating when the representative claimed our situation wasn't an emergency, suggesting we should have waited for the 500 passengers to leave first. I didn't cry from the accident, but I cried from the lack of empathy and self-absorption of people and crew. She even suggested it wasn't an emergency otherwise we would have been airlifted or taken a private boat. She even said how horrible the passengers were, not taking accountability for the crew, and also mentioned that the nurses never let them know we were coming, which was not true, because, my partner and his two other brothers, and I heard them speaking to the crew over the phone. And when I said that, the representative said, "Are you calling me a liar?" and I said I didn't lose my memory, and I was there; she wasn't. Is this really the phone call you want to get after a traumatic accident? Choose your people better. A simple apology and acknowledgment of their lapse in humanity would have sufficed, along with the implementation of procedures to prevent such incidents in the future. Overall, the lack of empathy and accountability displayed by the ferry company is deeply concerning. Potential passengers should be aware of the company's dismissive attitude towards customer concerns. ----- this was my original review where I even gave them two stars: "I am extremely disappointed with the service we received. After a bike accident on the island, I had to use a wheelchair to reach the ferry. Unfortunately, the crew was not accommodating. Even upon departure, they failed to ensure we were taken care of. Despite being in urgent need, I had to struggle to disembark and get to the ER, covered in blood along with my brother-in-law. People were running past us, yet the crew didn't prioritize our safety or create space for us to exit promptly. The lack of humanity from the crew was appalling. I submitted feedback before posting here, but as of today, there has been no response.

Very efficient; friendly employees; superb and entertaining safety video. Hired e-Bikes at ‘perth electric bikes’ in Fremantle; then pedaled only 5 min to Rottnest Express B-Shed Dock. (Be sure to add “own bike” when buy your Ferry ticket). Rottnest Express gets you to Island in only 30 min; then you can start e-pedaling!

The beaches are phenomenal! Love this amazing tranquil place! The bus around the island was great. The tour of the quokkas was really informative and interesting. Sun guarantee. Lovely place!

ATTENTION - Left stranded at North Terminal Freemantle. Outgoing the ferry starts at Northferry and then goes to the Southferry to pick up further passengers. Perversely on return it goes to Northferry first and then onto Southferry second. On the return we got off at Northferry which left us stranded and with a $25 taxi to pay for. I understand that the ferry is supposed to warn passengers going to Southferry on return not to get off. On this occasion they did not. I was on the lower deck and my wife on the upper deck and neither of us heard any warning. This should be made clear in their booking process but we were not told anything. SO BEWARE fellow travellers from abroad. Rottnest Ferries should have paid for the taxi as this their error.
