WELCOME TO WILD LUXURY
Blessed with white sandy beaches and surrounded by crystal clear waters, Penguin Island is just 40 minutes south of Perth and lies a five minute ferry ride away in the heart of the ruggedly spectacular Shoalwater Islands Marine Park. The wildlife is the star attraction. Join us for a cruise to see wild dolphins and rare Australian sea lions before visiting beautiful Penguin island. Getting here is easy with ferries departing hourly from 9am to 3pm. Spend as long, or as little as you like to swim, snorkel, picnic and explore the nature trails and beaches before catching a return ferry at your leisure.
It is our privilege to share this beautiful part of the coast & its wildlife and we hope you enjoy your visit.
