My partner and I stayed in Hobart for a week, and I very much took advantage of the fact that he is okay to do long distance driving. Seahorse World was the main reason I made my partner drive us 3.5 hours to Beauty Point, and back, in the one day. The verdict? Worth it. Why? I got to hold not just one, but two seahorses. The tour itself was informative and interactive. But for real, I touched two seahorses. Yay.

Who knew there was so much to learn about seahorses!! A really interesting tour - it is a working facility breeding these amazing little animals in enormous numbers and you get to see the process first hand. The guides are very knowledgeable and present the information in a fun informative way. The tour takes about 45 minutes and finishes off with the bonus of a number of tanks housing other local marine animals followed by a beautifully stocked gift shop. We organized our visit to work in with the nearby Platypus World tour, and the times coordinated easily.

Really cool experience. Guided tour only and recommend you book online as they book out for tours and school groups. Many types of seahorses and saw them being fed. The guide was very informative and the aquarium that had octopuses and hand-fish was a nice experience. Also were able you hold a seahorse. Well worth taking the tour

A great 45 minute tour with a knowledgable guide who presented information in a clear and interesting manner. Fascinating to view seahorses with a range of ages as well as the various species. We also learnt how quickly they grow and how the male carries the eggs. Well worth a visit!

Next to the platypus house, so an obvious next visiting choice. Interesting talk, before the tour, about the breeding of these delicate creatures with a view to them ending up in aquarium tanks. You can't believe how many there are, especially the tanks with the tiniest seahorses - absolutely thousands of them. You see them at all stages of their growth - the are cute at all ages! An enjoyable visit.
