I give this low reviews because one girl based in tje fremantle office was so slow and at the same time overly rude. I purchased a one way ticket and was wondering why my friend had a far cheap ticket. The girl gave me the option to change to a two way ticket but was quite rude. Its hard to describe the girl but she was sitting to the right as… Read more
youre facing the office and it was on Tuesday morning the 24th. I think she may have had light freckles, or maybe not. Burnette hair and not very good looking.. reminds me of a boy. I think she should probably lose her job, she clearly has no joy being there and finds the work too challenging. I hope management do something before this girl/boy is rude to other customers.

Over priced Not an express trip due to multiple stops at Fremantle. Air con nearly froze us. PA sound was rubbish couldn’t hear a thing. Not good in an emergency or evacuation situation Air con dripped water on me & stained my pants. Don’t choose them! Show details
We booked a b-shed direct to rottnest but they changed it on us last minute. I've got small children and we booked direct for a reason. Absolute rubbish
Experience we won't forget for the wrong reasons – Writing this review because I completed a survey more than a week and have not received a response, so I have decided to share. Rented 2 bikes, one with kids trailer and the other with child seat. Bikes were old and of poor standard. They were also handed to us without helmets and when I asked for them we were provided a helmet that was too big… Read more
for my 2.5 year old. They were in a rush as the ferry was about to leave so I didn't get a chance to ask for another one.The bike with the kids trailer attached also kept falling over because the stand didn't work. As a result, when we visited the tourist info centre, the bike with the kids trailer fell over and as my wife came to help me, she put her bike with my son in the child seat on the stand and rushed to help. This was partly our fault as we should never have left him even for a second but the wind was strong and the bike was too light and back heavy. it toppled over with my son in it and his head hit the pavement. He didn't have a helmet on as it was too big and had to be rushed to the nursing station. Thankfully he only suffered a large lump on his head and was cleared of concussion. 2 since arriving we were distressed and made the best of an already ruined day. The ferry ride itself was fine but the bikes are of poor quality and need to be replaced or maintained better. Considering further action but waiting for a response first.
Over booked, left standing – The trip was booked as a group of about 70 people for a work function on the 830am . The group was instructed to wait off the boat for all other passengers to board first. There were insufficient seats to accommodate all of the Group. The boat is not setup for carrying passenger it is more setup for dinning on the water with tables for almost… Read more
every seat. It should be setup for maximum passengers in row seating. According to the plan on the lower deck it has a capacity of 88 passengers there were 60. I am not sure how you would get an additional 18 on board.
Bikes were booked and child's bike for 7 year old was a 20" bike not the right size. My son's hired bike has very ineffective breaks. The back breaks don't even work.
Bad service and quality all around.
Hot as hell!! – If you like to travel in a floating sauna, maybe this company is for you! My family and I didn't enjoy the ride home as the boat was a big floating sauna. There were 4 air conditioners, that's hardly worked at all! For the amount you pay to get on this boat, you would expect to be a little comfortable. We were lucky no one passed out! It ruined an amazing day! Show details
Very disappointed in the bus portion of the Rottnest Island Excursion – I was expecting with the bus tour portion of the trip that we would be able to revisit certain spots but after the 90 minutes bus ride, we found you had to pay an additional bus service another $30 a ticket (group of 4) to get a hop on hop off bus. With the schedule, there would not have been time to get out and back to the Lighthouse, which was… Read more
my main reason for coming on this excursion. I could not believe they didn’t have a 15 minute stop at the lighthouse. Also, there was some confusion with not getting the data we needed to actually catch the ferry in the morning. I reached out in the early evening to Rottnest and did not get a response back until 7:04 am. That was not received until 5pm on the return trip. Just took us valuable time to deconstruct how and when to get to the ferry and the island. I would have rather taken the ferry and got a separate ticket for the hop on hop off bus. I did not think the commentary on the bus was very informative and only one stop which was not spectacular. It was very difficult to see anything unless you were on the left window seat on the bus. I was on the right window seat. Couldn’t possibly recommend. Just so disappointing. More than the money? It was the waste of time and a precious vacation day.
Thank you for your help – On the 24th of November, my family and I headed off on a trip to Rotto. During our time at the terminal, we encountered a problem with one of our son's bikes. However, we were fortunate to come across an incredibly caring individual from the Rotto Express bike hire shop in North Port. This person went above and beyond our expectations, providing… Read more
us with exceptional assistance. It was truly remarkable to witness such kindness from someone who was not obligated to help. The remainder of our journey to and from Rotto was equally enjoyable, thanks to the outstanding service provided by the team at Rotto Express. We are immensely grateful for their efforts. Sincerely, Dion Butler
Clean and efficient ferry with helpful staff – We used the ferry for a day trip to the island Found a seat easily and was impressed with the cleanliness and the friendly helpful staff We also had a fantastic adrenaline filled adventure tour of the island on the Eco express Brilliant fun and very informative The guide was very knowledgeable The skipper was extremely skilled and gave us a few thrills over some bigger waves I highly recommend this for a different perspective of the island Show details
