Highlights

Penguin Island Boardwalks and Walk Trail are a unique bucket list attraction located off the coast of Rockingham near Perth, Western Australia. Penguin Island is a haven for nature lovers and is home to the largest colony of Little Penguins.

The moderate 1.5 kilometre loop trail starts at the Penguin Experience Island Discovery Centre and allows walkers to experience close encounters with the flora and fauna. Take the booklet Discovering Penguin Island and Shoalwater Islands Marine Park on your walk with you. It features a mud map and other information to help you discover and learn about the plants and animals of the island. It's available from the Discovery Centre and proceeds go back into management of the island.

The Top Trail has a wheelchair accessible boardwalk which provides access between the jetty, picnic area, toilets, the Discovery Centre and to the northern lookout. Whilst on the island it's important to stick to the walk trails and demarcated beaches only as the island is a bird sanctuary.

The island is only open during the day and the ferry operates from mid-September to early June. Fees apply to go on the ferry and to access the Penguin Island Discovery Centre.
