Penguin Island

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. It is truly special place to visit and explore by kayak. 
Located 45 minutes south of Perth & 20 minute paddle across the Shoalwater Islands Marine Park, Penguin Island is blessed with beautiful beaches & surrounded by dazzling, crystal clear waters. Both locals and visitors from all over the world come paddling here to get up close to the wildlife, explore nature trails, swim, surf, snorkel or to enjoy a family picnic and the safe, sheltered beaches.
The star attractions of Penguin Island are the wildlife. Approximately 1000 pairs of little penguins nest on the island over winter. During the rest of the year, they spend most of their day feeding in the waters of the marine park and don’t return to the island until after dark. These fascinating birds 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 Discovery Centre. There are three feeding sessions a day at 10.30am, 12.30pm and 2.30pm. http://www.penguinisland.com.au/visitor-information.html#.VxGV1o9OLIU
