Swim with Wild Dolphins
Make your dolphin dream come true! Rockingham Wild Encounters has been operating the multi award winning Swim with Wild Dolphins Cruise since 1989. There’s over 200 local bottlenose dolphins that live among the sheltered waters of Rockingham’s bays & islands that we’ve come to know as friends. The dolphins don’t perform tricks and they are not fed by the public, who simply spends some time enjoying the company of Australia’s aquatic wildlife.
Penguin Island
Blessed with white sandy beaches and surrounded by crystal clear waters, Penguin Island is just a 5 minute ferry ride away and lies in the heart of the ruggedly spectacular Shoalwater Islands Marine Park. Join Rockingham Wild Encounters for a cruise to see wild dolphins and rare Australian sea lions before getting up close with the world’s smallest penguins! Island rangers present penguin feedings daily. Getting here is easy with ferries departing hourly. Spend as long, or as little as you like to swim, snorkel, picnic and explore the nature trails and beaches before catching a return ferry at your leisure.
