Woody Island, located off the south coast in the Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia, is a nature lover's paradise with a variety of attractions. Surrounded by pristine bushland and ocean, the island offers opportunities for bushwalking, hiking, swimming, snorkeling, and fishing. Visitors can swim or snorkel in the crystal clear waters of Shearwater Bay, explore the island's natural surrounds on coastal bushwalks, and observe the diverse flora and fauna, including marine life like fur seals, sea lions, and dolphins, as well as land animals such as bandicoots, wallabies, and rare sea eagles. The island is also home to an underwater snorkel trail, a swimming platform, and an interpretive center where visitors can learn more about the local wildlife.
For those interested in a day trip adventure, Woody Island Eco Tours offers a 60-minute ferry ride to the island, providing a chance to see White Bellied Sea Eagles, dolphins, sea lions, and seals at play. Upon arrival, visitors can enjoy guided walking tours, snorkeling, fishing, or simply relaxing and unwinding while taking in the stunning views. The island also offers accommodation options for those who wish to extend their stay, including camping, "glamping" in tents and safari huts, a Campers Kitchen, a kiosk, a Visitor's Interpretive Centre, and a licensed bar.
