Jurien Bay Sea Lions
To get up close to inquisitive wild sea lions head to Jurien Bay about a three hour drive north of Perth.
Take a sea lion watching cruise and you’ll find these graceful swimmers love to show off in front of the camera.
The Australian sea lion is the world’s rarest species – it’s believed there are less than 12,000 remaining along the country’s southern coastline.
One of their main breeding grounds lies offshore from Jurien Bay giving you a chance to watch sea lions in the wild.
Hundreds of sea lions live on the isolated Buller and North Fisherman islands as well as Essex Rocks only a few kilometres from land.
These islands are known as haul out sites where sea lions rest from their foraging expeditions for food.
Australian sea lions are picture perfect – their visible ears and large eyes often draw comparisons to the friendly Labrador dog breed.
Boat tours from Jurien Bay take you to see large colonies – and you might also spot dolphins or whales migrating along the coast.
There are sea lion watching guidelines to follow including maintaining a good distance, not landing on an island occupied by sea lions, and never trying to touch them.
