Seals in sight
While you won’t spot our very own Finn lounging on a rock, Tasmania offers plenty of places to see our real flippered friends in their natural habitat. And we've got Finn-tastic savings on local cruises and tours for members.
Seal Rock - Tasman Peninsula
Whether you get here by foot or by boat, both are incredibly rewarding. You can access Seal Rock lookout via the Cape Raoul walking track, or get a little closer by jumping on a Tasman Island cruise with Pennicott Wilderness Journeys. Set out from Port Arthur or Hobart on your seal adventure and save up to 10% on your cruise as a member.
Bruny Island
A short ferry ride from Kettering, Bruny Island offers some of the best seal-watching opportunities. The southern coastline is home to colonies of Australian fur seals and New Zealand fur seals. Jump on board the Pennicott Wilderness Journeys Bruny Island Cruise to get a little closer to these amazing marine mammals. Start your cruise in Hobart, from Kettering or Bruny Island and enjoy the view from afar with your extra savings.
Maria Island
A 30 minute ferry ride from Tasmania's east coast, this stunning national park is known for its flora and fauna, including seals. While you explore the island, keep an eye on the shoreline and out to sea for their playful antics. And if you want to head out on a guided tour from Hobart you can save up to 10%.
Remember these important tips
Keep a distance: Give seals plenty of space to relax. Approaching too closely can cause stress and disrupt their natural behaviour.
Look, but don't touch: They might be cute, but seals are wild animals and can be dangerous if they feel threatened.
Respect their habitat: Seals love Tasmania’s beaches and rocky shores, so let’s keep those areas clean and peaceful for them.
Seals can be seen year-round in Tasmania, but spring and summer are ideal for calmer weather and easier access to coastal areas. Mornings and late afternoons often provide the best lighting for photography.
