Spirit of Tasmania fares are also available for pets. You can travel with your beloved pet for just $22 per kennel each way.

If travelling with a pet, it is a requirement your pet travels in a Spirit of Tasmania kennel. Our kennels are RSPCA approved and located on ventilated decks. Fresh water is supplied and regular checks are performed on pets throughout the sailing.

One kennel must be booked per pet unless the animal is a mother with pups or kittens, or if the animals are small such as rabbits, guinea pigs, birds or chickens that can be accommodated in the same kennel.

Smaller animals should be carried in their own cage and then placed into a kennel.

If you are carrying livestock, please contact us on 1800 634 906 to make your booking.

All dogs entering Tasmania are subject to quarantine entry conditions and must be treated for Hydatid Tape Worm within 14 days prior to entering Tasmania. Documentary proof of this treatment such as a receipt or vet's subscription is required. For more information, call the Dogs to Tasmania Info Line on 1800 684 215 or refer to this information page.
