    Avoid - unreliable and not worth the hassle

    Do not book with this unreliable company. They sent multiple conflicting and confusing emails to me trying to get me to change the date of my tour but never explaining why. They then cancelled my tour 30 mins after they were due to collect me for it and after having lied about being on the way. Seemed more interested in trying to blame me than explaining what was happening or why they were cancelling saying they had tried to call me repeatedly. If they had been clear and honest upfront I could’ve booked with another tour company instead. Thanks to the assistance of staff at my hotel I made my own way to Penguin Island using public transport in the end and for a fraction of the cost of this tour.

    Response from the operator: Hi Angela - Thanks for your views here on Trip Advisor. Sorry to note of the issues you had. Sadly on enquiring and as informed to you later, we had been trying to contact you earlier, but could not get through to you and so sadly could not contact you , on another tour and that created a confusion for you.Do apologise for that. If we can assist in future kindly do let us know. Have a good time in West Australia

    Full-Day Penguin Island & Fremantle Town: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Perth.

    How much does Full-Day Penguin Island & Fremantle Town cost?

    +

    Prices start at $207 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Perth usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Full-Day Penguin Island & Fremantle Town take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Perth is not rushed.

    Is Full-Day Penguin Island & Fremantle Town worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 46 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (1/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Perth, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Full-Day Penguin Island & Fremantle Town?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Full-Day Penguin Island & Fremantle Town suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Full-Day Penguin Island & Fremantle Town?

    +

    Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Perth can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Perth and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Full-Day Penguin Island & Fremantle Town start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Perth within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Perth?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Perth experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Optus Stadium Tour, Discover Perth Walking Tour: History, Art, Local Insights + More!, Pinnacles Desert Sunset Dinner and Stargazing Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Perth?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Perth?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Full-Day Penguin Island & Fremantle Town?

    +

    Included: Hotel pickup and drop-off (selected CBD hotels only); Bottled water; GST (Goods and Services Tax); All taxes, fees and handling charges; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Food and drinks, unless specified; Gratuities; and Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Full-Day Penguin Island & Fremantle Town include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 58 listed pickup locations in and around Perth. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is Full-Day Penguin Island & Fremantle Town offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Full-Day Penguin Island & Fremantle Town?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Full-Day Penguin Island & Fremantle Town wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap; and Tour is not recommended for people with walking disabilities or requiring a wheelchair. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    +
