One of the best things about Perth is its endless day-tripping potential. After exploring the city itself, you’ll have countless nearby attractions to choose from, including many tiny islands that surround this Australian metropolis – starting with these three.
Penguin Island
Penguins may not be the first animal that comes to mind when someone mentions Australia, but it’s possible to find them in this country. Penguin Island is home to a colony of about 150 little penguins, and you can catch a ferry ride from Perth if you’re in the mood to check it out.
Rottnest Island
This car-free island is one of the most sought-after day trip destinations to visit from Perth, and there are many things that make it unique. In addition to its crystal-clear waters and unspoiled beaches, you’ll get to enjoy its unique wildlife since it’s one of the only places in the world inhabited by quokkas
Carnac Island
The picturesque limestone isle of Carnac can be reached via boat from Fremantle, and it looks like heaven on earth. It’s a great place for water sports and you might just be lucky enough to spot Australian sea lions basking on its shores during your day at the beach.
