Go by catamaran
Seemed expensive for just the transport. There was a commentary but this was only audible upstairs. However the catamaran was very stable even in the bad weather.
Response from the operator: Thanks for your feedback. The ferry from Perth is a higher price as it includes the cruise down the Swan River from Perth to Fremantle, as well as the journey from Fremantle across to the island. We hope you overall enjoyed your visit to Rottnest.

Well worth it trip to Rottnest!
Great tour company, would suggest going with these people! Thought we had booked hotel pick-up weeks prior, apparently not, but it was a quick and easy fix over the phone. The boat journey there was a bumpy one, especially after picking up the Fremantle guests 😅, but the captain gave intriguing insight into Perth and the buildings/landmarks/neighbourhoods, etc. After arriving, we explored at our own pace for 20-25 mins and picked up some ice cream before going on the train to the other already-included tour about the history of Rottnest and its involvement in the war(?). Very informative and interesting. The bus on return provided lunch too, whilst also showing us to the lighthouse and other places around the island. We did have to get ready early for this (6am-ish) but it was worth it.
Response from the operator: Brilliant to hear, thank you so much for choosing to travel with us, we appreciate it!

Excellent cruise with great customer service.
Great day unfortunately overshadowed by the weather. Excellent commentary and customer serve by boat crew who took a considered approach to meeting customer needs. Highly recommend this tour in calmer weather.
Response from the operator: Thanks for your feedback Patsy - sounds like our commentary and Crew made a big difference to your day, which is fantastic to hear!

Worth starting the ferry from Barack St Jettt.
Easy to find the ticket office. Staff and crew on board were friendly and informative. Ferry ran on time.
Response from the operator: Excellent to hear, thanks for the kind feedback Vivien, and for choosing SeaLink as your ferry to Rottnest Island!

Why this scores 81
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Perth to Rottnest Island Roundtrip Ferry Ticket: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Perth.
How much does Perth to Rottnest Island Roundtrip Ferry Ticket cost?
+
Prices start at $70 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Perth usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Perth to Rottnest Island Roundtrip Ferry Ticket take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Perth is not rushed.
Is Perth to Rottnest Island Roundtrip Ferry Ticket worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 220 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Perth, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Perth to Rottnest Island Roundtrip Ferry Ticket?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Perth to Rottnest Island Roundtrip Ferry Ticket suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Perth to Rottnest Island Roundtrip Ferry Ticket?
+
Around 77 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Perth can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Perth and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Perth to Rottnest Island Roundtrip Ferry Ticket start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Perth within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Perth?
+
On Outty we rank every Perth experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Optus Stadium Tour, Pinnacles Desert Sunset Dinner and Stargazing Tour, VIP Swan Valley Wine Tour - Premium Small Group Wine & Gourmet Experience. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Perth?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Perth?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
