What To Expect
Your tour begins with pickup from your Hobart hotel and a scenic drive to the pretty coastal town of Kettering, where you will catch your Bruny Island ferry. Enjoy the 15-minute cruise on the D’Entrecasteaux Channel over to Bruny Island, then travel by air-conditioned minivan to the narrow spit called The Neck connecting the north and south parts of the island, passing oyster farms and grazing properties en route. Your island tour begins with views from Adventure Bay lookout and the Hummock lookout, a significant indigenous site that's home to Truganini Memorial. Continue to Adventure Bay where your guide will prepare a picnic style morning tea of warm wood fired breads, award winning cheeses and juicy fresh oysters. Your tour continues over the Mount Mangana Trail and through ancient rainforests with Tree Ferns standing 16-foot (5 meters) high and, keeping an eye out for echidnas, wallabies, wildflowers and the island's unique birdlife. Make your way to Cape Bruny Lighthouse in the South Bruny National Park for your exclusive group lighthouse tour. The lighthouse is Australia's last vantage point to spot migrating humpback and southern right whales, and an important navigational landmark for ships at sea. The coastal views are among the best in Tasmania with rugged dolerite coastlines looming eerily over the Tasman Sea. Feeling hungry by now, stop at Bruny Island Hotel for a wonderful lunch featuring regional foods such as a delicious Seafood Chowder with locally caught fish, seafood platters, beef, chicken, vegan and vegetarian options and the popular slow cooked shoulder of lamb. The afternoon is all about nature and more food, with stops at Get Shucked for fresh oysters, Bruny Island Fudge Chocolate Shop, Bruny Island Honey Shed and Bruny Island Cheese Company to taste delicious artisan cheeses and see how it is made. You complete the day with your round-trip ferry to Kettering before returning to Hobart.

5.00⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Had an awesome day on the Bruny Island Food, Sightseeing & Lighthouse Tour and I couldn’t recommend it enough. The food was a massive highlight. Everything was fresh and local, and honestly you’re well fed by the end of the day so dont bother booking dinner for after. Lunch was great and i would reccomend the lamb shoulder. The oysters, cheese, fudge and other local stops were all spot on. Big shoutout to our guide Jimmy, hes an absolute legend. Super friendly, easy going and clearly knows and loves Bruny Island. He kept the day running smoothly, shared heaps of local knowledge and made the whole experience relaxed and fun rather than feeling like a typical tour. The scenery was stunning, the lighthouse was a great stop and we even spotted a white wallaby which was a pretty special bonus. If you’re heading to Tasmania put this tour high on your to do list. Great food, great guide and a brilliant way to see Bruny Island.

5.00Dave, our guide, was very knowledgeable on the Island's colonial and indigenous histor. His engaging personality provided a fun day with well organised food, visits and a great pub lunch. Highlights included the lighthouse, morning tea at Adventure Bay including a more than generous amount of oysters with cheeses and freshly baked baguettes. Highly recommended!
Wildlife meh but worth the trip

5.00Well it was cool. The tour guide was very knowledgeable. I thought it would be more activity and less bus but it’s not. That being said, still recommend, just want to make sure everyone knows what to expect. Still exploring and island that’s remote with wildlife.
Great day on Bruny Island

5.00Bruny was beautiful! Andy was knowledge, experienced and relaxed. Hit felt like he was just taking friends around showing us places he loved! He had reverence & respect for the nature & beauty & was not jaded after 12 years and seemed genuinely delighted by our enthusiasm! He got just as excited at seeing an Echidna as we did!
Fantastic day tour
