Blessed with white sandy beaches and surrounded by crystal clear water, Penguin Island is only 30 minutes south of Perth. This island is home to a number of rare animals and birds, penguins live here and large groups of them are inhabited, in addition to wild dolphins and rare Australian sea lions. Getting here is easy as ferries depart every hour from 9am to 3pm. Come here and spend as much or as little time as you like swimming, snorkeling, picnicking and exploring nature trails and beaches before taking a return ferry at your leisure.
