Poppa's Boat Hire is a small family business which is owned and operated by father and son Graeme and Brayden Popowski. Both have a passion for fishing and spend almost every spare minute getting to the sunny East Coast, which is regarded as the fishing capital of Tasmania. They thought why not give people the same opportunity to get out there and catch some of the many species of fish and experience what the East Coast of Tasmania has to offer. ​At Poppa's Boat Hire they offer different services based on customer's needs, whether it be catching some of the many species of fish in George's Bay, exploring the famous Scamander River looking for those beautiful hard fighting Bream, or just a morning or afternoon adventure around the waters of the East Coast of Tasmania.

The East Coast Whale Trail is a series of coastal stops you can visit with information signs about the whales and where you have a good chance of seeing them. There are 14 trail sites scattered all along the coast from The Gardens in the larapuna/Bay of Fires area near St Helens in the north to Eaglehawk Neck on the Tasman Peninsula. At each East Coast Whale Trail site, you will find a sign with information and stories about them and big sea views to search for signs of whales. There are binoculars installed at two of the Trail sites to help you get a closer view. Whales can throw their fins and flukes, or even their bodies, high out of the water, making great explosions of foam on the sea surface that can be seen from far away. Sometimes they come within a few hundred metres of shore.
