Seahorse World

More Information

All around the world, crowds gather to admire our seahorses in famous aquariums. But you can get much closer to these mysterious creatures at our completely unique facility at Beauty Point, in the beautiful Tamar Valley, less than a one-hour drive from Launceston or Devonport.

Your 50-minute tour commences in “The Cave” which is home to a selection of seahorses and sea dragons. Here you will learn about seahorses and their mysterious behaviour.
We then move into “The Farm” where you get an exclusive ‘behind the scenes look at Australia’s only working seahorse farm. This is where we feed the seahorses and you can see thousands of them in all stages of life from tiny fingernail-sized babies to the larger breeding adults.

Seahorse World is also one of the only places in the world that you can see the Critically Endangered red and spotted Handfish. Included in the tour is the Hands of Hope Exhibit, dedicated to showcasing the endeavors to save this beautiful fish.

The final room is “The Southern Ocean Aquarium” where we showcase some of the bizarre and mystical creatures found in Tasmanian waters. In this room, you’ll also have the opportunity to get hands-on and touch some of the creatures from the deep as well as hold a seahorse in the palm of your hand.
