Spirit of Tasmania fares are also available for pets.
You can travel with your beloved pet for just $22 per kennel each
way.
If travelling with a pet, it is a requirement your pet travels
in a Spirit of Tasmania kennel. Our kennels are located on
ventilated decks. Fresh water is supplied and regular checks are
performed on pets throughout the sailing.
One kennel must be booked per pet unless the animal is a mother
with pups or kittens.
Smaller animals such as rabbits, guinea pigs, birds or chickens
should be carried in their own cage and then placed into a
kennel
If you are carrying livestock, please contact us on 1800 884 305
to make your booking.
All dogs entering Tasmania are subject to quarantine entry
conditions and must be treated for Hydatid Tape Worm within 14 days
prior to entering Tasmania. Documentary proof of this treatment
such as a receipt or vet's subscription is required. For more
