Amazing Trip
Amazing fab weekend with the family. What a beautiful place
via Tripadvisor
Woeful service, zero care
Had a two day stay booked on Rottnest. They cancelled our return ferry the night before due to “weather”. It was not bad weather at all and other companies still ran. They rebooked us on another ferry and lost our luggage. They told us they’d call us when it arrived and they never did. We had to drive back to Hillarys the next day to collect our lost bags. The staff at the counter were very rude. There was another family there who lost their bags too filling out forms. Pretty poor customer service all round given there were less than 50 people on the ferry! It was pretty clear they cancelled ours due to lack of customers. Now we know why!

Highly Recommended Ferry Ride

Excellent experience
Rottnest Island was a great day out - such a beautiful place to visit. Rottnest Fast Ferries made the experience so easy. Great communication when booking and clear instructions. Bus transfer driver was knowledgeable, friendly and really helpful in giving the best drop off point. Ferry ran on time and was comfortable and efficient. Would definitely recommend them as your ferry company if travelling to Rottnest.

Cute quokkas on a beautiful island
Prefectly organised day. Bikes are prepared for the customers at the ferry. On the island it is Pretty impossible to miss the quokkas. They were mostly located around the main settlement’s shops and eating area. We departed and arrived as it was indicated on the itinery.

Rottnest Island Fast Ferry from Hillarys Boat Harbour Including Bike Hire: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Perth.
How much does Rottnest Island Fast Ferry from Hillarys Boat Harbour Including Bike Hire cost?
+
Prices start at $89 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 Rottnest Island Fast Ferry from Hillarys Boat Harbour Including Bike Hire take?
+
Plan for about 24 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 Rottnest Island Fast Ferry from Hillarys Boat Harbour Including Bike Hire worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 112 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 Rottnest Island Fast Ferry from Hillarys Boat Harbour Including Bike Hire?
+
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 Rottnest Island Fast Ferry from Hillarys Boat Harbour Including Bike Hire suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 24-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Rottnest Island Fast Ferry from Hillarys Boat Harbour Including Bike Hire?
+
Around 39 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 24-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Rottnest Island Fast Ferry from Hillarys Boat Harbour Including Bike Hire 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, Discover Perth Walking Tour: History, Art, Local Insights + More!, Pinnacles Desert Sunset Dinner and Stargazing Tour. 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.
