This is a great boat trip ! You catch the ferry over to penguin island to pick the boat up from there … The crew are helpful and friendly …. Josh narrates and has superb knowledge of WA’s wildlife and will answer any questions you have … Gary the skipper does everything he can to let you see and get up close to the action …… I liked the fact, they don’t artificially encourage any change of behaviour to Dolphins, Seals or birds I loved it, so did my wife and the grandkids wanted to do it all again !

Excellent commentary. Dolphins,pelicans and sea lions aplenty with lots of other wildlife and birds. Enough time to look around penguin Island-lovely photo opportunities. Penguin display Excellent. All penguins living on island were at sea during visit but ample opportunity to photograph, see and hear about the ones on the island who are unable to fend for themselves in the wild. First class.

Despite the rainy weather, wr had an amazing experience seeing dolphins and other animals in such a close encounter! Very informative and friendly guides!
