Reviews
It is a very unforgettable tour that you can meet the Sea lion and dolphin,they are so cute and with sky blue very beautiful beach, even in the day time it's hard to see the penguins,but it worth it!
the only penguins we saw were the fake ones.. but there were lots of seagull eggs!! the seagulls were really cute tho! they would start shouting at you when you get too close HHAAHAHA
Just need to show them to qr code to get on the boat, easy to use. Managed to see quite many dolphins and sea lions! The guide also mentioned we were quite lucky to see many animals.
no longer see the penguin house on the island, the sea is clear, clean and beautiful, only small dolphins
The cruise was comfortable and easy. We had a good time and managed to see dolphins and seals. Staff are friendly to manouvre around to allow us to see the dolphis more. The Penquin Island itself was a bit disappointing as we did not manage to see any. The penguins have all gone out to hunt. But the island itself is beautiful.
A fun experience with my family. Saw the sea lions having fun too!
The booking process was quick and easy. At Perth Wildlife Encounters, all you need to do is tell the staff your name, and they’ll guide you through the next steps. The one-hour cruise was fantastic! We caught sight of sea lions, pelicans, and darters, though unfortunately, no dolphins this time. While the cruise didn’t include a landing on Penguin Island, we could see it from the boat. The guide’s lively explanations about marine life made the experience even more engaging. Overall, it was a great opportunity to observe wild animals, though an hour didn’t quite feel long enough.
The weather wasn't great, but the trip was good. There was commentary throughout, and we even saw a rainbow 🌈, dolphins, and seals. We didn't see any penguins, but it was perfect nonetheless.
It's a great day trip to Penguin Island. The Dolphins & Sea Lion cruise was fantastic, where we saw wild dolphins swimming in sea. The views from Penguin Island was breath taking. Definitely worth it.
Opportunities to get close to wildlife such as dolphins, sea lions, penguins and many silver gulls on penguin island itself. Penguin feeding show. Beautiful scenery and there is a path to walk up to reach the top of penguin island.
