Watching Platypus in Tasmania 2024

Stay up at night watching Tasmania's platypuses

Best time: September–November

Make platypus experience one of your most memorable moments in Tasmania. Being spread across the whole island, you are likely to watch platypuses in any part of Tasmania. Platypuses prefer to spend a hot part of the day hiding in burrows, therefore, pick a right time for watching them. Try to be patient, as it may take plenty of time and luck to spot one. However, remember that a platypus may be dangerous, and there are cases of their attacks on dogs, so you'd better leave your pets at home.
