Discover Deloraine's wild platypus on a free guided tour (t's & c's apply). This is a must-see for anyone who has never seen a platypus in the wild. The tour will take you on a gentle walk around the river foreshore in the picturesque town of Deloraine. You will learn about all the things that make platypus such a unique animal. The guide will help you spot these elusive creatures while enjoying the delightful surrounds of Deloraine, in northern Tasmania. The tour duration is approximately one hour and departs most evenings from The Empire Hotel. Our tour is timed to the habits of our local platypus, so call ahead to check departure times.
