Point of Difference

Creature Tales promotes, inclusion, equality and diversity which links into my personal and work ethos. I feel supported and appreciated in my role and always extremely proud to be working under the banner.
Being a part of the Creature Tales team has changed the way I approach performing. It’s how you can enrich the experience for the individual and make an impact that will be remembered for a long time to come.
My time with Creature Tales has not only bettered my craft as a musician, but proved to be a valuable foundation on which both my personal and professional life has been built.
Having this performance opportunity, these interactions, and this vast change of environment is such a helpful reset. I always return home feeling refreshed and inspired.
Working with Creature Tales has given me the beautiful balance of feeling part of a team while being allowed creative freedom. I haven't come across any gigs as a musician that do that.

What passengers say

"Engaging, talented, inclusive and very entertaining."

"Both entertainers were great ambassadors for Tassie and the Spirit of Tasmania, they were the highlight of the trip for me."

"Yvonne's poetry session was terrific. Her enthusiasm was contagious and she was so encouraging of everyone."

"Thomas created a fabulous atmosphere for everyone. He had interesting stories about his life that made the music and experience more personal."
