Full-Day Penguin Island & Mandurah Canal Cruise
» Perth » Perth » Perth
Penguin Island is currently CLOSED for the winter Penguin breeding season from the 6th June to 15th September 2022
An enchanting boat cruise to visit WA’s largest colony of “little penguins” on their very own island, and spirited dolphins and canal front homes of Mandurah.
Relax, near the crystal clear waters of Shoalwater Bay, or enjoy a short walk on the island (time permitting).
Visit the Penguin Discovery Centre to catch the exciting morning Penguin Feed show where the little fairy penguins are fed fresh fish individually by the islands rangers in their specially built enclosure.
After an interesting time on the island, we cruise back to the mainland and head south to the City of Mandurah.
Get some souvenir shopping done when you disembark and find your land legs again at the marina.

Reviews
However, the description of the tour given by Aussie Perth tours on their website did not depict an accurate picture of the tour. Firstly, the timing given was all wrong. The website stated the tour would start from 0830 to 1830, putting it as a full-day tour. In the end, it was a mere half-day tour, ending by 1500.
Secondly, the pick-up time was set at 0730. Instead, we got a call at 0730 telling us that the driver was at our hotel already. It turned out the tour company had put another group with us who had a different tour to Fremantle (their tour was to Kings Park and Fremantle, while ours had nothing to do with it). We thus had to go with them and drive around Fremantle before starting our own tour proper to Penguin Island (and dropping the other group off at Fremantle). This was surprising to us, but Mark apologised and was still able to make the impromptu tour of Fremantle for us more interesting.
When booking tours with Aussie Perth Tours, be sure to double-check timings for the tours as the website is not accurate at all.
