THIS EVENT IS NOW OVER. Thanks for your interest. Browse the events list on the left to find out what else is coming up.

Greenpeace’s whale-saving ship, the MV Esperanza, is headed for Hobart. And for one day only, you can meet the crew and tour the ship!

The Esperanza has just returned from the Southern Ocean where we were protecting whales from the Japanese hunt. The Espy kept the whaling fleet on the run for 15 days, saving around 100 whales from a cruel and unnecessary death.

Now the Esperanza and her dedicated international crew is taking their first well-earned stop in Hobart. And you're invited onboard!


When: Tuesday 5 February, 12 noon – 7pm

Where:
Princes 2/3 Wharf (across the road from Salamanca).

The Esperanza has never been to Hobart and we know we have many loyal Greenpeace supporters in Tasmania. We are delighted to invite you to meet the crew and take an inspiring behind-the-scenes tour of our iconic icebreaking vessel.

Please come down and register on the day for an onboard guided tour. Bring your friends and family and enjoy this unique and exciting opportunity. See you there!
