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.

Check the cost of doing this tour yourself. The guide was great however the lunch was below average. Do some research on what you will get on this tour.

Came with no expectations except for a full day out with the family to Bruny to enjoy the sights, sounds and favours! We were picked up by Dave our guide and driver and he was a bunch of energy and fun! His local knowledge of Bruny and his personable nature truly made him the perfect full day guide! Loved the nuggets of history he shared with us and also his fauna insights ... His professionalism shone through his preparation of the various cheeses and oyster that we had for tea time snack and also how he managed each stop over with the locals - we always felt at ease and welcome!!! Loved his parting words- " I treat all my guests to Bruny as if I am bringing my own family there...so I make that like family everyone enjoys the entire Bruny experience!" Kudos!!!

We had an amazing time and fun in this tour - exploring scenic and interesting places. The tour from Bruny Safaris with guide Jimmy was engaging, knowledgeable, helpful and managing our time well. The all inclusive package makes our trip smooth and worth every cent. We had fresh oysters, cheeses, chocolate tastings and lunch included. Good value for money!
I would love to do it again

I really enjoyed this tour! Everything from the itinerary to the guide was great. Our guide Nigel truly went above and beyond to give us a worthwhile experience. I especially liked how flexible the trip was, nothing felt rushed. Since the famous Salamanca Market was to happen during our tour, Nigel gave us the opportunity to have a wander around the market before embarking on the tour which was greatly appreciated by us all. During the tour itself, Nigel was extremely knowledgeable and familiar with the local history, landscapes, and most importantly, the people. The itinerary super jam packed without feeling like it was too full on and unmanageable. Great value for money as well since the entire trip is all inclusive from admission to food. There were no unexpected expenses. The one thing I would say as a note is that the trek to the Cape Bruny lighthouse is quite a hike up but that's just an indictment on my fitness level honestly. I'd love to visit Bruny again in the future thanks to the wonderful hospitality shown on the tour!
Worth the price!

Dave was our guide and he was excellent. He knew exactly where to look for the white wallabies and was very respectful of the residents and wildlife (even when other companies were not). Very impressed with his friendliness, his knowledge, and preparedness. He even had a charger for my cell. Would definitely recommend this to anyone. It seems pricey, but it includes morning tea/coffee/cocoa with fresh oysters, 3 kinds of cheese and bread, a full lunch at a nice hotel restaurant, chocolate tasting, honey tasting, and one more stop for additional cheeses. It also includes the ferry tickets, transport from Hobart, the entrance fee for the lighthouse, and anything else that popped up.
Fantastic day out

My friend and I had a wonderful day. Our guide Andy was kind, friendly and nothing seemed to be too much trouble. He made sure we all had a wonderful day. The food was amazing throughout the whole day. I’m so thankful we booked this day tour. It was the highlight of our holiday.
