Carnac Island is an A-class nature reserve, teeming with wildlife. Its traditional name is Ngooloomayup which translates to ‘place of little brother’ in the language of the Whadjuk Noongar people.
Carnac Island is an important haul out location for Australian Sea Lions in between breeding seasons.
Being ‘bottom feeders’, male Sea Lions are often diving to their physical limits so resting areas such as Carnac Island are vital for their daily recovery.

Australia Sea Lions are wild animals and are capable of becoming quite aggressive, especially toward their male counterparts. However, when they do take to the water, they often love to put on a spectacular show of acrobatics, delighting guests on nearby boats.
Carnac Island is a major nesting habitat for a myriad of sea birds such as little penguins, wedge-tailed shearwaters, pied cormorants, pied oystercatchers and Caspian, bridled and crested terns.
The island also boasts a significant and dense population of tiger snakes. Many of the snakes on the island are blind – the result of birds defending their chicks and pecking out the snakes’ eyes. David Attenborough visited the island with the BBC in 2006 to document this rare phenomenon which only occurs here.

An incredible experience my family and I decided to do on a whim. Beautiful views of Perth that you wouldn’t find anywhere else, and an amazing skipper. I’m not usually one for thrill seeking, but this experience allowed me to experience a safe and thrilling boating experience with the sharp turns and speed. Absolutely amazing for the whole family!!

Penney Upton
Great little tour of the Swan river but not for the faint hearted. Bring your sense of adventure and enjoy a unique view of the city from the water.
