25.01.2022 We have some exciting news! Our resident octopus, Marcia, laid quite a few (thousand) eggs recently, and they have just started hatching. They are roughly 5mm long, and over the course of their life can grow to 1.2 metres and have an arm span of nearly 3 metres. Octopuses generally live for 1-1.5 years, so these little ones will have to grow 240 times their current size in a year!... Hundreds of their siblings have already hatched and are on display, so come and see them on one of our regular guided tours, 10 am to 3pm.

24.01.2022 At Seahorse World, we are currently still open and applying the governments social distancing rules. We have dramatically reduced tour sizes to just 6 people but they are running more frequently, starting at 10am.

21.01.2022 Anvers famous Snowballs are now in stock at Anvers Chocolate Shop Seahorse World. Only produced in winter so don't miss out! #Tamarvalley

20.01.2022 20% OFF all Anvers Choolates this week at Anvers Chocolate Shop Seahorse World. Enjoy a coffee in our lovely Cafe setting and a chocolate truffle $6 or a plate of 4 for just $5. We need to move our chocolate stock and Tasmania - we think you're up to it!... (Ends Sunday)

17.01.2022 If you would like to support true blue Tasmanian business this Easter, buy your Easter eggs at Anvers Confectionery Latrobe. They have produced a heap of magnificent Easter Eggs and your support will help them during this quiet time. Tasmania without businesses like Anvers is unthinkable so help them and buy quality local produce. Their shop is still open! We have a small number available at Seahorse World but entry is by appointment only .

16.01.2022 Sadly, Seahorse World is now officially closed to visitors until further notice. Our technicians will endeavour to look after all of our special creatures until the visitors return. Best wishes to all of you

15.01.2022 Aunty Rachelle, who has been the primary carer for the little reds, drove the 8 teenagers south very carefully and very slowly.

14.01.2022 We are so thankful that Australia has done so well in restricting the impacts of Covid 19 such that we are able to open this weekend. We are opening from 10 to 3pm this Saturday, Sunday and Monday (public holiday).After that open Wed to Sundays 10 till 3 until the State advises of next lifting of restrictions. It will be lovely to see people again at Seahorse World. #tamarvalley, #discovertasmania

14.01.2022 If anyone on the West Tamar would like a last minute Easter Egg Anvers Chocolate Shop at Seahorse World still has some 200g marbled milk or dark chocolate eggs that we can deliver to your door. Were 24.50 now $20 special. Just message me. Cash or mobile eftpos fine.

14.01.2022 We have been honoured to have these beautiful creatures under our care. To Micky and her siblings, it has been a pleasure to see you every day and we wish you all the luck in the world!

11.01.2022 The final installment in the release of the beautiful Red Handfish that we have had under our care. Once again, we wish them all the best and send them all of our love!

11.01.2022 We want you to be sure that we are open 7 days per week in August and September with tours starting on the hour from 10am to 3pm. Looking forward to welcoming you along to learn about our unique Tasmanian business. Another export to Tokyo Japan left yesterday so we are still getting some animals out and about too!

11.01.2022 Thinking we might call this little Red Handfish Samson. This photo was taken today by Seahorse World employee Tegan and shows how they use their fins to hold themselves in place (or is he really trying to push the side out of the tank?).

11.01.2022 Yet another seahorse species discovered - this time in Africa! https://theconversation.com/how-an-underwater-photo-led-to-

09.01.2022 Well it has been a while since we last posted but we have been busily looking after all of our animals waiting for visitors to return. We are very thankful for the country we live in and how we, and our staff, have been supported by the Tasmanian and Federal governments. I am however going to take a bit of a risk and step out to say that it is time the Government opened our borders to fellow Australians and more speedily relaxed trading rules. We are one country after all and... now there is hardly anyone in it with this disease that everyone is so panicked about. Can you imagine being the only state that NSW residents can travel to? What a great opportunity for the Tasmanian Tourism industry. Let's have a little bit of bravery, with all reasonable precautions, and rescue our desperate airports, airlines, hotels, restaurants and tourism industry - including the wide range of support industries that have been impacted. Open the border now to fellow Australians! See more

09.01.2022 It is only 2 weeks away until Tamar Discovery is being held upstairs at Seahorse World. If you wish to come please register on NRM Norths page as this is a Covid safe event and numbers are restricted. Please note that the Cafe will be open to a limited extent on this day due to the event.

06.01.2022 Check out this great video clip on Beauty Point and the Tamar Valley where Seahorse world is situated. i believe well-done to Damien Blackwell for organising.... https://tict.com.au//tassies-top-tourist-to/beauty-point/

04.01.2022 The Red Handfish. One of the World's rarest creatures. We continue to look after them at Seahorse World now at 15 months old. . (picture: Rick Stuart-Smith)
