The Sealink ferry is very efficient and the boat was comfortable. We rented bikes from them which made it so easy - we got off the boat and they handed us the bikes. I do wish there was a basket as we brought our own snorkeling gear and had to put it on handle bar which was not so convenient. The bikes were good quality and they gave us helmets. The biking around the island is great. The beaches are beautiful but the water was frigid (this from an American who loves the Caribbean). A local told us that this was the warmest they get (oh my). As we took the snorkel gear, I made my husband go with me - we only did 1 beach for about 10 minutes and then gave up as it was just too cold for us. It was a beautiful day for biking though. We wandered around the island to the lighthouse, to various lookouts and really enjoyed the day.
Rottnest Island is so worth a trip. On the way there the swan river felt like it's own tour because they gave lots of information and even free coffee. The way back was so windy the ocean was rough. They handled it realy well even handing out free water ice, thank you! Also their bikes are quite good and comfy to ride.
We hired our bikes directly from SeaLink rather than on the island and were very happy with the quality. The locks, brakes, helmet and gears all worked fine and appeared to be of consistent quality as opposed to some we saw from the other companies. Only wish we could have hired a basket and flipper and snorkel set directly through SeaLink too - we ended up still lining up at Pedal & Flipper for these. Enjoyed the commentary on the Ferry ride, sitting up top was pleasant and we spotted a couple of river dolphins on the way back! The staff were all friendly and helpful. Overall, I'd still book SeaLink again but probably take my own snorkel set & basket next time if not available through them directly. Thanks for a great trip! :)
Pinnacles, unfortunately it was to cloudy to see stars. Our driver was very nice and gave us a lot of informations
Special thanks to Caitlin from Sealink. She went above & beyond to get my family on an earlier ferry to Rotto, which made our day. Nothing was too much trouble and she was so helpful & friendly.
