How we collect and publish reviews
Where they come from. Our reviews are gathered from independent review sites and from guests who share feedback with us directly after their trip. They come from people who have actually travelled on the tour. Some longer trips are made up of shorter tours we also sell, run back to back — where a review was written about one of those legs, the review says so.
Why some are edited. Many of our guests travel in their second or third language. Where a review is hard to read, we lightly edit spelling, grammar and punctuation, or paraphrase a sentence for clarity. We never change the rating, the meaning or the sentiment, and we never write a review on a guest's behalf.
Reading the originals. Reviews sourced from public review sites appear there in their original form, and can be read in full at their original source at any time.
“End of August in Rottnest with SeaLink”
We spent a magnificent day on Rottnest at the end of our Australian trip. The ferry left and returned exactly on time, fruit ice blocks were handed out on the way, and bikes and helmets were ready as soon as we got off after the half-hour crossing. The staff on board were very kind.
“Island to visit”
A beautiful island with stunning landscapes. We toured the whole island by bike and it was well worth it.
“Great day out”
The crew were helpful and friendly, and the departures and returns ran exactly to plan. The guide was good, though the commentary was a little hard to follow, and one bike kept slipping gears, but the service made it a really enjoyable day on Rottnest.
“Rottnest Island is such a special place to visit.”
Booking the package made everything simpler, as hiring a bike on the island last year was much slower with the crowds. The crossings were on time and seamless and the staff friendly. Take the first ferry over and the last one back, and ride around the whole island, which is the best way to see it.
“A great way to visit Rottnest”
A lovely boat ride and excellent bikes. A bit expensive, but the trip up the Swan River alone made it worth it.
“Top ride with friendly crew”
A perfect ride with very friendly staff, and handing over the bike was professional and easy.
