I am a volunteer guide with the Rottnest Volunteer Guides Association. When entering the ferry I was met by Dan who welcomed warmly and even introduced me to a few of the fellow staff. During the trip I was offered a free coffee which I gratefully accepted. On the return journey back to Fremantle, Dan was again on the ferry and came to have a chat with me to see how my day of guiding went at Oliver Hill Guns. I have to say that the ferry is a much better ride that their competitors and I was impressed with their seats. They are vinal but can be cleaned easily, whereas the competition is cloth covered and are showing signs of grubbiness.

We only went for a quick day trip. It was worth a visit. We walked bits of the island. We didn’t even hire a bike or take the bus. We still managed to enjoy it a lot. Our time was not enough, so we will definitely go again.

Great ferry ride from Perth to Rottnest, bicycle hire also arranged. Return to Fremantle to have a look around. Informative journey, ferry very clean and good amenities on board. Straight back to childhood with the complimentary Zooper Dooper ☺️
