Your guide to penguin island & seal island.
With beautiful and sunny weather on the cards, there’s every opportunity to get out and about and explore the beautiful state of Western Australia!
As one of Perth’s most famous day trip locations, Rockingham is 40 minutes south from the Perth CBD and within easy reach via the Kwinana Freeway. Within the region, you’ll find two exciting destinations – Penguin Island and Seal Island, which are both found in Shoalwater Islands Marine Park.
Amongst all the fun things to do in Rockingham, a day trip to Penguin and Seal Island should be at the top of your list – and these two destinations are particularly popular during the school holidays. So whether you’re looking for activities that are adventurous, family-friendly or perfect for couples, you’ve found your match!
Penguin Island
Located in Shoalwater Islands Marine Park, Penguin Island is by far one of the most sought-after attractions in the Rockingham area. For both adults and children alike, it’s an unforgettable day trip experience and a great family day out.
A short 5-minute ferry ride from Mersey Point, Penguin Island offers all kinds of coveted and fun activities to tick off your bucket list. Think diverse wildlife, breathtaking marine and coastal scenery and of course, the island’s renowned colony of little penguins.
Here are all the best and unique things to do at Penguin Island:
- Swim with wild dolphins! (more here)
- Cruise on a glass-bottomed boat with Perth Wildlife Encounters. This is the best way to spot some of WA’s most playful dolphins, sea lions and penguin colonies! (more here)
- Spend the day exploring the beauty of the island through its nature trails and boardwalks.
- Swim and snorkel in the crystal clear waters. Be sure to look out for the natural spa!
- Take in the through the binoculars at the lookouts on each end of the island. If you’re lucky, you could even spot dolphins and whales (in September to December)!
- Seeing nesting pelicans and other sea birds up close, especially in September and October when the chicks are hatching.
- Embark on a comprehensive, guided day tour. (more here)
- Pack a picnic to enjoy under the cool shade, where the trees overlook the beach.
To learn more about Penguin Island, buy tickets to the ferry or book a guided tour, please visit the Perth Wildlife Encounters website or call (08) 9591 1333.
Seal Island
Did you know that the Australian sea lion is the rarest seal species in the world? You can find these cool, playful creatures lounging around and playing in their natural habitat at Seal Island, which lies north of Penguin Island.
As one of the area’s breathtaking natural wonders Seal Island should undoubtedly be on your list of things to do when you next visit Rockingham. Simply hop on your kayak and paddle out to the island to respectfully admire resident sea lions – many of which might swim up closer to you to get a closer look!
Shoalwater Islands Marine Park
There’s no doubt that Penguin Island and Seal Island are an absolute must-see for those in the Perth region. However, that’s not to say that the rest of Shoalwater Islands Marine Park doesn’t deserve exploration as well.
Shaped by a chain of reefs and unique limestone islands, this rich and diverse marine environment is home to bottlenose dolphins, sea lion colonies, seabirds and other marine life. Embark on scenic bush walk with the kids or head on down near the shoreline to admire the array of spectacular wildlife from afar.
In fact, Shoalwater Marine Islands Park is truly an aquatic playground. Here, a wide range of fun as well as free water sports can be enjoyed all year round. These include, but are not limited to:
- Snorkelling
- Kiteboarding

Seal Island (Perth, WA): What You NEED To Know Before Visiting
Located with the Shoalwater Islands Marine Park is Seal Island. This fantastic little Island not far off Rockingham is the perfect day out for anyone in Perth that is looking to get up close and personal with these majestical creatures!
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Where is Seal Island located?
Seal Island is located within the Shoalwater Marine Park which is 5 minutes south of Rockingham or 45 minutes south of Perth, Western Australia.
The Island itself is approximately one kilometre off the shore and can easily be seen from land.
How do you get to Seal Island?
There are a few different options for getting to Seal Island. If you’re fortunate to have your own kayak or paddleboard then you can launch your kayak or paddleboard at the beach near Pengos cafe and then paddle over.
Or alternatively, for those that don’t, there is a local tour company that runs kayak and boat tours out to both Seal and Penguin Island.
How long does it take to get to Seal Island?
If you’re paddling over via kayak and the conditions are good then it should take no longer than 30 mins (Well according to my fit bit it took us 23 minutes to be exact!).
What are the best conditions for Seal Island?
If you’re paddling over via kayak or paddleboard then it’s best to check out the conditions. Personally, from my experience, I’ve found the best conditions to be when you have an offshore easterly wind blowing in the morning that then switches to an onshore wind in the arvo.
With such conditions, the wind is behind you on the way over and then it drops off before switching to onshore winds which makes good conditions for nipping over and checking out Penguin Island.
Can you go on Seal Island?
No, unfortunately, you’re unable to go onto Seal Island. There are yellow buoys in the water, approximately 10 metres out from the shoreline which marks how close you can go to the island.
Mooring your Kayak or Paddleboard
As you can’t go onto Seal Island, your next best option is to moor your kayak or paddleboard which then allows you to leave your paddle craft secured whilst you sit back and watch the seals from a distance or choose to jump in for a swim with them.
When it comes to mooring your kayak or paddleboard, there are a couple of designated moorings you can tie off on, hence I would recommend taking some rope with you so you can tie off on these.
However, as there are only a couple of moorings these get occupied pretty quickly so if you do have a kayak that can support it you may like to take along a small kayak anchor allowing you to moor up independently.
Tips for swimming with the Seals
If you do enter the water to swim with the seals, then the main advice I could give is to remain calm and don’t chase the seals.
Seals are quite inquisitive creatures and you’ll find that you’ll get the best experience by floating near to the seals, allowing them to approach you and swim around you when they feel comfortable doing so.
If you chase the seals and annoy them they can get aggressive and may bite you in return.
Avoid the crowds
We were quite surprised by the number of people heading over to visit Seal Island. We headed over early and we arrived at the island around 9 am though by 10ish (as the tour groups arrived) there were around 40-50 people moored up to see the Seals. This included individuals like us, people in tour groups, boats, and jet skis.
With this in mind, I’d recommend trying to go there during the week, or outside of peak periods such as the weekends, school holidays, or public holidays.
Where to launch your Kayak or Paddleboard?
The best spot to launch your kayak or paddleboard when heading over to Seal Island or Penguin Island is just to right of the boat jetty in front of Pengo’s Cafe.
Where to launch your boat to get to Seal Island?
If you’re looking to launch your boat to get to Seal Island of Penguin Island then the closest boat ramp is Safety Bay Beach Boat Ramp. There is also Carlisle Boat Ramp though this is only for those that have a 4WD as it’s beach launching here.
What to do after visiting Seal Island?
Once you’ve finished spending time with the seals, I’d then recommend taking some time to explore the surrounding areas. To the left of Seal Island is another small group of islands called Shag islands which are quite picturesque whilst also providing some nice snorkelling grounds.
Out past these you then have the famous Penguin Island which is definitely worth a visit. From Seal Island, you can paddle direct over to Penguin Island which has a nice beach to pull up and relax.
Note, however, the water can get a little rough between the islands so always be sure to check conditions are suitable and that you don’t exceed your limits.
Book a Seal Island Tour!
Suppose you don’t have access to a paddle craft or boat then not to worry as there are guided tours you and your family can book to head over to Seal Island.
These range from a few-hour trips to whole-day experiences. They even offer experiences where you can head out on a charter boat to swim with the dolphins. For more information, check out the link below:
Tour 1: Seal Island and Penguin Island or Point Peron Sea Kayak Tour
Tour 2: Penguin and Seal Islands Sea Kayaking Experience
Tour 3: Shoalwater Islands Marine Park Cruise with Lunch
Tour 4: Winter, Wildlife & Seafood Cruise
Final Thoughts
I thoroughly enjoyed visiting Seal Island and was fortunate to have an awesome experience swimming with one of the younger seals. I definitely can’t wait to head over there again!
