About The Lobster Ponds

At Lobster Ponds we are all committed to ensuring that the conditions required for the long term survival of this unique creature, the Tasmanian Giant Freshwater Lobster,are strictly adhered to.

We are proud to say that the environment we provide is possibly as good as that provided by Mother Nature. Our breeding and display ponds provide for ideal conditions and are kept as clean as possible by fresh running water with the addition of sophisticated filtering systems.

Our protective ponds also keep away all sorts of predators (including humans) thus providing a safe haven for these very special creatures.

Whilst all our surplus stock is returned to the wild, we would still like to remind visitors that it is against the law in Tasmania to fish for, or capture the Tasmanian Giant Freshwater Lobster and that heavy penalties do apply.

At Lobster Ponds we hope to encourage all our visitors to learn a little more about the wonderful world we all live in and we are indeed happy to provide guided tours to groups or individuals on request.

Schools are particularly welcome but we do ask that you book ahead via e-mail or phone.
