How much longer does the Tasmanian Wildlife Crossing ferry take compared to the standard ferry?
This niche, slower-paced service takes significantly longer to reach its destination than standard commuter ferries in the region. The exact time varies by route, but the crew intentionally reduces speed to allow nature photographers maximum time to capture shots of coastal wildlife.
