the crew are so incredibly helpful and did their best to include everyone (even solo travellers like me) and gave us so much information about the dolphins. we saw them on multiple occasions, and at one point one of the dolphins swam directly under me. they try their best to find the dolphins for you so you get a good value for money, and the dolphins generally enjoy seeing the people and do come close.
i absolutely recommend you do this trip, you will not regret it!

We had a lovely trip today with Aran, Georgia and their crew, saw close up for an extended period the dolphins and sea lions and Ospreys. Even though the island is inaccessible at the moment I would still recommend this as a very good trip. We were on the afternoon sailing so in lieu of penguins we got a free lunch!

Dollars on an Uber . Got there and told with poker faced staff it had been canceled . They decided 40 minutes before. I mean with 21 st century tech they really couldn’t have foresaw more in advance ?!!! So unsympathetic . Way to ruin my last day . This was my ultimate dream and bucket list to see wild penguins . Thanks a lot . The closest I got to was a road sign saying penguin road .

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we are truly sorry for the disappointment you experienced — especially on a day that meant so much to you. We understand how frustrating it must have been to travel such a long way, only to find out the tour had been cancelled.
While some cancellations do happen unexpectedly due to conditions outside our control, we absolutely recognise that communication should have reached you sooner. We are reviewing what happened to ensure our alerts go out promptly so no guest is left in your situation again.
We also want to apologise if our team came across as unsympathetic — that is not the level of care we aim to provide, especially when a guest is feeling disappointed. Your experience matters, and we’re truly sorry that this impacted the final day of your trip and a bucket-list moment you were so excited about.
Thank you again for your honest feedback — it helps us do better.

Saw lots of dolphins very shortly after departing the jetty, some getting very close truly an eye opening experience and put a huge smile on everyone's faces. The crew were very knowledgeable and had lots to share and answered all questions and made me feel safe, confident and comfortable.
The was good to end off with a nice relaxing free swim and delicious lunch.
Skill level was no issue as everyone is capable of participating and safety was always considered.
Thank you for the amazing day and big shout out to Darcy for being so friendly.

Absolutely amazing day today.
We went on the Dolphin, Sea lion and Penguin Island cruise. Perfect weather, calm clear seas. We got to see lots of dolphin activity, pods of 8 playing around the boat for awhile. Heaps of sea lions sleeping on the island beach. Well worth a trip to Rockingham to experience some natural wonders. The skippers did a great job and were very knowledgeable about the area. It's obvious they love the job they are doing and make the experience a memorable one, in all the best ways. Loved it, thankyou

We joined the 3 Islands Wildlife Snorkel last weekend and it was absolutely incredible! The crew were friendly, professional, and so passionate about the islands and their conservation work - it really made the experience special. Swimming with the sea lions was a highlight, and we were lucky enough to have a pod of dolphins join us too! The food was delicious, the weather was perfect, and everything ran so smoothly. We couldn’t fault a thing and can’t wait to join another tour with the Perth Wildlife Encounters team soon!

Staff were really friendly and knowledgeable. They really respect the wildlife and were very familiar with the dolphins around the area that they even named a few of them. I like that they divided us into groups and let us take turns to get into the water. They really made sure that all of us had a chance to see the dolphins in the water.
Lunch was delicious too. Coffee/ tea and water, biscuits were all available. Overall an amazing experience and I would recommend anyone who're visiting the area to join!

During the snorkeling tour, we got lucky to see many dolphins which was very exciting. This made up for the disappointing snorkeling experience, there were hardly any fishes to see, no penguins or sea lions. The water was very murky. We had our 6-year olds with us and the water condition was definitely more suited for someone who is an advanced swimmer. The staff was very nice, and showed my son some pictures eventhough he was too scared to go into the water.
The week after, we went on the dolphin swim. This were very chaotic, and there were lots of miscommunication between the staff. No one paid attention to our 6 year-old son. During the one time the dolphins showed up, all the adults rushed to the water and my son was trampled and hurt his ankle and toes. No staff came to check on him. My husband was able to see 1 dolphin and spent about 3 mins in the water. I was able to swim with 3 dolphins and spent 5 mins in the water out of the entire 6 hours of the tour. We were the last group to go in, and the others were able to spend more time in the water so we wish they managed the time of each group in the water beter. Perhaps the staff thought there will be other opportunities, but we didn't find any more dolphins after this one encounter.
What was disappointing was that during our snorkeling tour, we were told that the Skipper was going to discuss with us the best way for our son to enjoy the dolphin tour. But that didn't happen. He didn't speak to us at all. When my son couldn't get in because he hurt his ankle and was too scared with all the adults rushing in, we were told he would get a free swim at the end. But this also didn't happen. All empty promises.
Afterwards, I emailed the tour to ask if we can change my son ticket to a spectator ticket and get a small refund, since we invested so much money with both tours. We received rude responses. They made up stories about warning me that the dolphin swim was not suitable for my son (which never happened) and that the skipper tried to accomodate (which again never happened). He only spoke to us during wet suit fitting and then nothing. They didn't even know that my son hurt himself even when he was crying out. Tracy said "if a parent is with a child. if they are at all upset, it's not our place to intervene'. REALLY? how about asking us nicely if the child is ok? Show some emphaty?
So sad that this has ruined our memories of the tour. For a tour this expensive, we definitely thought we would be getting better treatment.
A shoutout to Grace during the snorkling tour, she was very nice but it appears management does not value customer service much.

Hi Concretejungle,
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that your experience with us didn’t meet expectations.
While we're so glad you had the chance to see dolphins during both tours and appreciated the kindness shown by Grace, we’re deeply disappointed to hear that other aspects of your visit were not up to the standard we aim to provide.
We sincerely apologise for the confusion and lack of follow-through regarding your son’s participation. Your concerns about safety, communication, and promises made that were not fulfilled are taken very seriously. Our tours are designed to be inclusive and enjoyable, and it's clear we missed the mark in this case, particularly when it came to supporting your young child during a chaotic moment in the water.
We also regret if our communication following the tour felt dismissive or unempathetic. That is certainly not the level of care we intend to offer our guests—especially when a child’s wellbeing is involved. We understand how upsetting it must have been, and we’re sorry that your family left with that impression.
Your feedback has been passed on to our management and crew so we can better understand what went wrong and where we need to improve—both on tour and in how we respond afterward.
Thank you again for acknowledging Grace's efforts. We will make sure she is recognised for her kindness.
Kind Regards,
Perth Wildlife Encounters

Those precious few minutes in the water alongside the dolphins are etched in my memory forever. The markings on their backs, the speed through the water, it was thrilling. And it wasn't just me; as we returned to the boat even those who were quiet for most of the trip were buzzing - people I hardly knew were united in those brief few minutes of joy.

Hi Rob,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your experience on our 3 Island Snorkel Tour didn’t meet your expectations.
Our team always aims to provide a memorable and enjoyable adventure, and we’re glad to hear you found the crew and vessel to be great and that you were able to encounter dolphins up close — a special and often unpredictable part of marine life encounters.
As you mentioned, wildlife sightings and weather conditions are things we unfortunately can't control. We understand how disappointing it can be when visibility is reduced or animals aren’t as active, and we do our best to adapt each day’s itinerary to ensure safety while still providing the best possible experience under the conditions.
We try to make it clear on our website and pre-arrival information that snorkel conditions and wildlife activity can vary seasonally and day-to-day, and that sightings can’t be guaranteed. We also appreciate your comments about travel logistics and cost, which we understand can add to the overall experience and perception of value.
Your feedback is genuinely appreciated and has been shared with our team for consideration. We do hope you’ll give us another chance in the future, perhaps on a day with clearer conditions, so we can show you just how vibrant and full of life our marine parks can be.
Warm regards,
Perth Wildlife Encounters

Outstanding experience. We did the 3 Island Snorkel tour and spent around 2 hours in the water and another 2 following Indian ocean bottlenose dolphins and enjoying lunch observing the birds on Penguin Island. Sea lions were enjoying the sun today and we observed from the deck. In the water, we saw nudibranches, octopus, sea stars, heaps of fish, and the spectacular reef structure around the islands.
The Shoalwater marine park is a must-see. The tour was an amazing way to experience it, particularly for beginning snorkelers and those who are not bringing gear and a boat. But even for experienced snorkelers, the tour guides made it very worthwhile by sharing their knowledge of the animals and park. There is deep respect for the animals here. A proper eco-tourism experience.
A real highlight of the tour is the free return ferry to Penguin Island. The West side has a beautiful reef and the island is crawling with Pelicans as big as the sea lions. This part isn't guided and is free-roam.
For an enhanced experience, bring binoculars to observe the islands while in transit between snorkels.

Operator for ferry and tour to penguin island. The staff was friendly and would help you sorting your tour to penguin island. They provide tours so you can learn about the penguins here. There also friendly volunteers who would tell you about the island. To be honest, penguins will go out early in the morning and only be back at late evening, and when the hatching season, the island would be closed for visiting. However the island is great, with really-really beautiful water plus the beach on the east side of the island is calm, so you can have a picnic, swim and enjoy beach moment here. There would be a lot of small lizard around but they are friendly.

Glass bottomed boat seemed a little pointless but I guess that’s luck of the draw, island is lovely but tour guides version of what goes on vs rangers is very different. Tour was not really a tour, it was minimal information no real tour and potentially provides some misinformation. The tourism is clashing with the conservation efforts and feel this overshadows the reasons for going.

We purchased tickets on the 1 hr boat cruise of Shoalwater Marine Park. Ratings: Price $85pp with a free ferry ride to Penguin Island & return plus free entry to penguin feeding & a free guided nature walk as well as the guided boat cruise was very good value. Guide on the boat cruise shared a lot of information about the Marine Park itself, flora, fauna, size, geology. Lots of info about the animals. Very impressed with the delivery & depth of info from Bree. Ryan skippered the boat very well. Saw dolphins, birds including osprey & sea lions. Recommend you take binoculars or a zoom lens as you can’t get up too close to most animals. Only criticism is that the boat’s seats are aluminium and most didn’t have back rests (ferry was similar). Difficult for elderly people to sit comfortably. If the seats were upgraded to be cushioned with back rests it would be a more enjoyable cruise. Customer service & the gift store on the mainland were very good. 3/5. Children aged 6+ would enjoy.

Always great to go over to Penguin Island. Quick ferry trip. We also did the sea lion tour, which I probably wouldn't do again, not for the price. We partly completed the wildlife tour on penguin Island, however the 2 young girls delivering the tour were obviously fighting. Some good info presented, but at 1430, they had had enough of saying the same stuff - which they actually told us! Some professionalism training might be needed.

Did the dolphin adventure and it was great! Got to see a calf with her mother and dolphins came so close to us. Staff were fantastic to, energetic and happy to help.
There was plenty of food for lunch and even for morning tea they had a massive fruit platter.
When we finish with the dolphins, we also had the chance to have a go on the underwater scooters. Great fun!. Even managed to do a few flips off the boat.

From the amazing reservation staff to the pick up & drop off transfers we paid extra for to get from Perth to Rockingham. Now, the tour itself was so FUN. Getting so up close to the Dolphins was surreal, especially in their natural habitat. We had the best day and I would totally recommend this tour and do it again if I'm ever back on the West Coast.

The staff of Perth Wildlife Encounters were just as excited as we were, to swim with dolphins because it's the start of their new season tours. So much so that they didn't take any photos of customers encounters with dolphins and onboard too. They promised that our photos can be downloaded from flicker app but all pics turned out to be photos of only dolphins from the previous tours.
Overall the swim was well organised and the crew were very friendly and informative about the behaviours and life of the sea mammals. We enjoyed 2-3 swims with dolphins even tho the water was very cold. The skipper & crew worked hard to search around the bay to locate the dolphins which were very cooperative on this day. Highly recommended! Although I would advise anyone who's prone to seasickness to prepare themselves. Bring warm clothing

Best day ever! Cannot recommend the wild dolphin swim more highly!!!!
It was a tricky day weather wise, but everyone stayed hopeful and by the end we were so incredibly lucky to swim with various groups of dolphins, see a couple groups nursing babies, and all in their natural environment. It's clear the staff really respect the dolphins, and understand their behaviours to know when it's appropriate to jump in with them. It's also so clear how passionate, knowledgeable and enthusiastic all the crew are. Special thanks to our fabulous guide Samara for being so bright and reassuring. Also was so well catered for lunch, and accommodating with dietary requirements. 5 stars all round!!

I thought we’d see a couple of dolphins in the distance. I had no idea we’d see so many and so close! I also didn’t realise we’d have multiple opportunities to be in the water with the dolphins. The second time we went in, the dolphins were swimming amongst us, circling us and making their happy whistling noises. The experience was so magical and overwhelming, I actually cried into my snorkel and mask for the whole time we were under water. Yep, this 40 year old woman sobbed at the sight of these beautiful, playful wild creatures,
The guides were friendly and super knowledgeable shout out to Amy for being awesome and Crete for answering all my questions!
It was so awesome to hear about how the relationship they have with these completely wild animals has been fostered for the past 34 years!
Food was great too. I cannot fault this but I experience and I’ll definitely come back.

HI LuisaHof29,
Thankyou so much for taking the time to write this review.
Wow! Best day of your life so far. How amazing! It sounds like you and the Dolphins really enjoyed the interactions. We are very blessed to have an amazing relationship with the local wild Dolphins where they feel safe to socialize with us with nothing in return. It really is a magical experience!
Regards,
Sam

Recommend to books tickets in advance if you like to go there in the morning time slot. Afternoon time you might be able to get a discount for low ticket sales. Can swim at the beach.
