About
Spend a full day sea kayaking through the Shoalwater Islands Marine Park and get up close and personal with Australian wildlife in and out of the water. Take a guided walk to explore Penguin Island and enjoy snorkelling among the limestone reef full of marine life. It's a fun filled day out for all ages. Penguin and Seal Island are part of Shoalwater Islands Marine Park, which is approximately 45 minutes south of Perth City or 5 minutes south of Rockingham. Sea kayaking is a fantastic way to explore these rugged limestone islands (approx 1km offshore) and their unique wildlife including: Australia sea lions, Little Blue penguins, colonies of pelicans and thousands of other sea birds that use these islands as safe nesting places. We also offer snorkelling during the warm summer months as a way of exploring these shallow waters, limestone reefs and fish life.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Just had great first timer sea kayak experience around seal and penguin island. Todd is an excellent guide and tailored the trip perfectly. Conditions were great and saw seal and dolphin at a respectful distance - thoroughly recommend this even as a novice

We only had six people total in our tour (including the instructor) and it was an amazing intimate experience of the islands and water. The water was a perfect temperature and the instructor was extremely knowledgeable of the surrounding flora and fauna. Even though one of my friends had never kayaked before and I had not kayaked for many years, we all felt extremely supported throughout the tour. I would do it again for sure!

I have wanted to do this tour for a long time.
A bucket list experience comes true, and what an incredible day out in the Shoalwater Marine Park with the fantastically knowledgeable and friendly Rosie.
A huge amount of wildlife call this spot home, from marine life to their feathered friends.
The sights are spectacular, I have never seen such wonderful ocean colours.
Thank you!

An amazing day kayaking with Jimmy! He was incredibly knowledgeable about the area with some humour thrown in. We saw Sea Lions, bird life, skinks and even spotted one penguin, the landscape on Penguin Island is incredible. The tour was tailored to the groups ability and was such a fun day out. Highly recommend!

An awesome experience from when we first met Jimmy till when we packed away. Jimmy was friendly, informative and professional. He made us feel comfortable from the outset. All the equipment was quality and the lunch was freshly made and nutritious. We highly recommend this adventure in the great outdoors.

We had our best time in Perth. Thanks to our friendly tour guide, Rosie, who was very knowledgeable about the island. We were also lucky enough to have a private tour even though we didn't book for it. We would definitely be back for another tour!

I loved this tour! Jimmy is an amazing guide, very friendly and helpful. The safety instructions were clear and he helped us with everything we needed. For lunch we had amazing homemade soup and some bread and crackers. He taught us a lot about the island and animals, it was very interesting. Would definitely recommend

Jim runs a very professional tour, with careful safety briefings and clear directions on safety on the water. All equipment was provided and in good order. As a septuagenarian. I thoroughly enjoyed this trip and would highly recommend it to sea explorers of any age. The tour to Seal Island, and adjacent rocky islands , then along the west shoreline of Penguin Island gave a very different perspective of the Shoalwater Bay natural attractions. We were served a delicious lunch, attended the Penguin Discovery Centre's showing of the cute rescued little penguins, learning about their habits, and their challenge for survival. Jim provided interesting commentary on the ecology of seagrass meadows, the fish, the sea lions, the early history of people on Penguin Island, and the raucous pelican colony. Our day was capped off with a snorkel in the bay, seeing turtles and schools of fish, before we paddled back to the mainland on a strong sea breeze. After 6 hours we were a tired and happy. multinational, multi-age crew. Thank you Jim.

What a really nice way to spend our last day in Australia. A fun activity and the opportunity to get close to the wildlife. We saw 5 Ospray's (which is a big deal for a Pom) sea lions and the Little Penguins in the Discovery Centre. Expertly guided by Jimmy who also provided an excellent lunch. Thanks Andrew (AKA Neil) and Marion
