How much is the Spirit of Tasmania, what time does it sail and can I bring my dog/cat/bird?
Additional sailings are scheduled during peak times, with a daytime sailing in both directions leaving at 0900 and arriving at 1800 (6pm). Sailings vary by season so check the Spirit of Tasmania for more information.
Low season fares are extremely attractive and as the only substantial sea journey available in Australia, coming to Tasmania on 'the Spirit' can be a highlight in itself.
Bringing your own vehicle, no matter what size or shape, is as easy as 'drive on - drive off'.
A limited number of kennels and places for birdcages are available. Pets cannot be kept in vehicles for the voyage. Spirit of Tasmania supplies water and passengers are requested to provide pet blankets but no food for consumption during the voyage. (Note: You must have documentary proof of Hydatid Tape Worm treatment for dogs entering Tasmania, and they are not permitted in our national parks.)
