Visiting the rarest of Sea Lions

We are so blessed in Perth, Western Australia to have such rare marine life we can go visit, just a short boat ride from Fremantle. Home to the rarest Sea Lions in the world, the Australian Sea Lions are adorable and often friendly who seem to enjoy visits from us. So where can we go to spot these cute mammals?

Where can we see the Australian Sea Lions?

During the non-breeding season you will find up to 12 male Australian sea lions lying on the beach enjoying the sunshine or swimming in the shallow bays at beautiful Carnac island. Every 17 months the young and keen males swim 200km north of Perth to breed for the next 4-5 months before returning to the bachelor pads at Carnac. Often the sea lions come and say hello when we drop anchor on Moonshine2 and if they are in the mood, they might swim over to say hello while we are out snorkeling.
