The Lobster Ponds

The Lobster Ponds Haven offers a unique experience to view and learn about the Giant Freshwater Crayfish. These extraordinary creatures are the largest crustacean in the world and are exclusive to Northern Tasmania.

The viewing room with its tanks and pond enable visitors to get up close to the lobsters. Then enjoy the peaceful relaxing atmosphere of the outdoor ponds set within the native gardens as you learn about these extraordinary creatures.

We are located in the quiet farming community of Flowerdale, just 10 minutes drive west from Wynyard.
