Really nice to take a ferry ride to Penguin Island from near Rochkingham. The island itself is not spectacular, but does have nice views and for overseas visitors is something different. The penguins are very cute and it is worth seeing a show. The Rockingham region itself is just a really nice laid back place, we rented a beachhouse in... More

Went to Penguin Island in April 2013 after seeing the brochure. I expected there to be many penguins to see in the wild, I was mistaken. I became suspect about actually seeing a penguin after the sales clerk said she had seen a penguin "once." I'm giving the rating a two based purely on the Penguin attraction. The park has... More

The staff on the Dolphin tour (both the boat skipper & young lady... More

We found it very enjoyable, both for young and old. Access good for wheelies and prams...clean picnic areas. No shops/café, take you own food and drinks. A suggestion to make more successful, to have nightly tours, bookings limited/could be managed due to the size of the island, to see the penguins when they come in from sea after feeding. Seagulls...
