This Tasmanian attraction has become an immensely popular local experience. There’s always been something mystical about the seahorse and Seahorse World located at Beauty Point gives you the opportunity to see these delicate yet beautiful and rare marine animals.
The centre is dedicated to seahorse conservation efforts and there’s much to learn, the Wonders of the Southern Ocean aquarium houses the largest collection of seahorses in Australia.
Guided tours will lead you on a journey through the unique facility, balancing entertainment and education to provide a fantastic experience.
