Location

Enjoy a close encounter with dolphins, seals and birds during this 60 minute Penguin Island glass bottom boat tour in Perth. Passengers will spot a huge array of lively wildlife during the 60 minute Perth cruise. Expect to see Australian Fur Seals basking in the sun on the beach at Seal Island while local dolphins splash about in Shoalwater Bay Marine Park alongside the boat. You can even watch on as the rangers feed the penguins on Penguin Island at the conclusion of the cruise.

The 60 minute glass bottom boat tour offers a unique perspective for you to marvel at all the wildlife and marine life above and below the sea. At your feet, peek into the marine park to see limestone reefs, stingrays, octopus and crabs going about their day while up on the surface, you’ll be joined by pelicans, ospreys and turns. There is simply so much wildlife to meet in these turquoise waters that the 60 minute Penguin Island cruise will leave you wanting more.

To join this wildlife spotting cruise, passengers will need to take a 5 minute ferry transfer from Perth to Penguin Island to connect with the hourly glass bottom boat tour. Bookings are essential for this incredible wildlife encounter.

Annabel Tolios Rockingham Wild Encounters

We hope you can join us as we cruise around the ruggedly beautiful Shoalwater Marine Park and encounter wild dolphins, rare Australian sea lions and little penguins..

“It is recommended to wear a warm, weather proof jacket as it can get cool even in summer. There are some fantastic picnic spots on Penguin Island, so take some lunch with you as there are no shops or cafes on the island.”
