A Perfect Day on Bruny Island

5.00What an absolutely wonderful day out! From the moment we were picked up, it was clear this was going to be something special. Our guide, Jimmy, set the tone immediately — knowledgeable, warm, and full of fascinating insights into life on Bruny Island. He truly made the experience. This is a full-day tour, but the hours disappear in the best possible way. After a scenic ferry crossing to Bruny Island, we first stopped to taste the local honey. From there, we settled into a gorgeous beach stop for morning tea — a beautifully curated spread of local cheeses, freshly baked bread, and plump, freshly shucked oysters. It was the perfect introduction to the island's remarkable food culture. The highlight for history lovers was a visit to the second-oldest lighthouse in Tasmania, where the local lighthouse keeper led us on a guided tour to the very top. The views and the stories were equally breathtaking. From there, we made our way to the famous isthmus — the narrow strip of land that connects the two halves of Bruny Island — for a short walk and some truly spectacular scenery. A stop at a local artisan estate offered chocolate tasting (and optional whiskey tasting for those so inclined), showcasing the island's incredible artisans. Before heading back, guests had the chance to purchase fresh oysters to take home for the evening — a lovely final touch. Lunch at the Bruny Island Hotel was a real highlight too. The portions were generous, the menu featured a wonderful variety of fresh, locally sourced food, and the relaxed setting was perfect after a morning of exploring. The small tour bus was spotless, comfortable, and never felt crowded. Jimmy's expertise and genuine passion for the island made every stop memorable. Whether you're a foodie, a history buff, or simply looking for a memorable day out, this tour delivers on every front.

5.00Bruny certainly didn’t disappoint! Despite the cold and at times, showery weather, we had a fabulous small group day out…. Andy was a friendly, relaxed and informative guide, with a keen eye for wildlife- even finding us two albino wallabies ! The lighthouse tour was interesting and the views at our other stops were amazing. Lunch at the pub was delicious, as was all the food we tasted along the way ( honey, chocolate, cheese, oysters & whiskey (optional) ) Highly recommend this easy way to see the highlights of Bruny.

5.00Absolutely one of the highlights of our Tasmania trip. Bruny Island is simply stunning — incredible scenery, amazing local produce and such a relaxed atmosphere from start to finish. The mix of rugged coastline, lighthouse views, local honey, chocolate, whisky and fresh oysters made for an unforgettable day. The visit to was a standout. Standing at the southern point with those sweeping coastal views was something really special. One thing we really appreciated was that Bruny Island Tours were the only company we found that included the exclusive lighthouse tour, full lunch - morning tea and all park entry fees within the tour price — which made the day feel great value and completely stress free. A big thank you as well to Jimmy, who made the entire day easy, enjoyable and relaxed. Nothing was ever too difficult, and his local knowledge and personality added so much to the experience. If you’re visiting Tasmania, put Bruny Island on your list — absolutely worth it.
Best tour in Tasmania – huge thanks to Andy!

5.00I joined the Bruny Island day tour and it was honestly the best tour I’ve ever done in Tasmania, and even in Australia. A huge thank you to our amazing guide, Andy. The most memorable moment was when Andy brought us to Two Tree Point beach. The scenery was beautiful, and he thoughtfully shared local cheese and fresh oysters with us right on the beach – it felt so special and unforgettable. During the drive, he even slowed down and took the time to show us wallabies by the road, while explaining lots of interesting facts about the animals and the island. What I appreciate most is that Andy truly seems to love what he does. He was knowledgeable, funny, and very caring, and he created such a relaxed and happy atmosphere for everyone on the bus. Because he was enjoying himself, we all enjoyed the tour even more. I can confidently say this Bruny Island tour is the best tour I have participated in, and Andy is the best tour guide I have ever met. Highly recommended – I would definitely join again!
We loved it so much we did it again!
