East Wallabi Island is home to an array of wildlife including carpet pythons, tammar wallabies, seabirds, raptors, reptiles and the endangered Abrolhos painted button-quail. The island is accessible by vessel (boat) or plane, both private and charter options are possible.

To reach the lookout with panoramic views, you will encounter soft sand with sections of boardwalk. Go slowly and quietly along the trail, you may catch a glimpse of some of the island's shy residents.

This is a fragile environment. Please avoid disturbing wildlife by observing from a distance and remain on the trail.
