MY REVIEW
From the moment my family and I boarded the Rottnest Express ferry, we knew we were in for a special day. The "Discover Rottnest" package was a perfect choice for our family. The air-conditioned bus was a welcome respite from the sun, and as it meandered through the island's scenic routes, we were treated to a tapestry of stories, landscapes, and history. My children were particularly enjoyed the tales of the island's famous quokkas, their eyes wide with wonder every time they spotted one.
One of the highlights was the stop at the Wadjemup Lighthouse. My wife and I held our children's hands as we took a short walk up, and the panoramic views from the top left us speechless. It was a moment of pure serenity, with the vast ocean stretching out before us and the gentle hum of the island life below.
Throughout our tour, the Rottnest Express team showcased not just the beauty of the island but also its rich history and culture. Their dedication to providing a memorable experience was evident in every detail, from the well-maintained bus to the knowledgeable guide who answered our(my kids) endless stream of questions with patience and enthusiasm.
As we made our way back to Perth on the ferry, my family and I shared our favorite moments from the day. The unanimous verdict? The Rottnest Express tour was an unforgettable journey, a perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and discovery.
