To get up close to Little Penguins and other incredible wildlife, visit Penguin Island just off the coast of Perth.
This small island is home to one of the largest colonies of Little Penguins in the State. It’s also a popular place for swimming, snorkelling, diving and picnicking.
You can go penguin watching at the Penguin Experience Island Discovery Centre where the animals are fed each day during the season. The island plays an important part in the marine environment of Shoalwater Islands Marine Park.
The penguins that live here were either rejected by their mothers as chicks, and raised by wildlife carers or nursed back to health after injury.
On Penguin Island you’ll also see a big variety of seabirds, many of which are rarely found on the mainland. There’re walk trails and boardwalks around the island to ensure no breeding areas are disturbed.
