A wonderful friend on instagram told me that next to Penguin Island ,in Rockingham,is a small island home to a colony of seal who are super friendly and love swimming up to boats, kayaks and divers. I couldn't resist hanging out with wild seals so we hopped on our paddle boards and took the journey over..
(hello cellulite- no fakery over here!)
As we got closer I noticed a little head bobbing about in the water, I couldn't help myself, I grabbed my snorkel and mask and jumped in
before I knew it I was joined by a curious little friend
who was very, very friendly and loved swimming alongside me
after a while he tired and head back to shore to chill out with his mates. No one's allowed anywhere near the beach (or to set foot on the island) so we head off round the corner for a little bit of reef snorkelling.
A truly amazing day.
For more information check out the penguin island website.
Have you swam with any wild animals before?
