About this activity
Your tour departs Perth by 8.30am and heads to Penguin Island down in the Shoalwater Marine Reserve, south of Perth.
Penguin Island is a unique nature reserve that is home to Western Australia’s largest colony of little penguins - the smallest species of penguin in the world. Penguin Island is blessed with beautiful beaches and is surrounded by dazzling, crystal clear waters and also hosts WA's largest colony of Pelicans.
The little penguins are very shy and can be difficult to see in the wild but you can get up close and learn all about them with the rangers at the Penguin Discovery Centre. You will get to see them swim and eat fish in their purpose built sanctuary.
Aboard a Glass Bottom boat you will tour round the Shoalwater reserve to spot Sea Lions sunbathing on the beach and often see Dolphins playing in the bay. This is followed by lunch at Pengos cafe with food chosen from a menu and cooked fresh for you.
After lunch you are transported to Perth's most highly rated Wildlife experience - Caversham Wildlife Park.
Located inside Whiteman Park, Caversham Wildlife Park is Perth's premier wildlife experience and a must-see on any visit to Perth. Watch kangaroos and wallabies at play, join in the interactive farm show or get close to a wombat while supervised by a keeper. Learn about captive breeding programs to protect the future of the population of endangered wildlife.
Whilst in Caversham you will also have the chance to watch a live Australian Farm Show - watch Sheep shearing, crack a stock whip, milk a Cow, bottle feed a Lamb, meet a Stockman on horseback, swing a billy, watch sheep dogs mustering the sheep – all the excitement of a true blue Aussie farm!
Finish off the day with a visit to a Chocolate factory for tastings of chocolate and a premium vineyard for wine-tastings, chutneys and liqueurs.
Having experienced a huge range of Australian Wildlife experiences and with a tummy full of yummy chocolate, you will be dropped back into Perth around 5.30pm.
On rare occasions, the weather or tides may stop the Glass bottom boat and/or Penguin Ferry. When this happens the tour will divert to Mandurah for a scenic Dolphin cruise with lunch held at a restaurant in Mandurah instead.

Not too fast, not too slow, and exactly what was described. A nice day and if you have binoculars do not forget them
This tour was booked last minute on our last day in Perth and ended up being our favourite one. Great tour all around - Penguin Ilsland was great and enjoyed watching the little blue penguins during feeding time - especially Kevin who loves the attention and puts on a show on his own. Next the boat ride to see the rare Australian sea lions and on the way we were lucky to have dolphins swimming and jumping by the boat. That alone was worth the price but then was the Caversham Wildlife Park where we were all surprised to learn we had a private tour guide who took us behind the scenes and we feed the kangaroos and got to pet and have our picture taken with a koala. Lastly we were taken to a chocolate and winery in Swan Valley. This was also a small group with a fabulous and friendly tour guide
Of all the excursions went on, this was the least favourite
