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.

5.00This tour of the lighthouse started at the lighthouse so you do need to have a pass to go into the national park. For the price the tour is excellent value. The views from the top balcony are impressive and you have plenty of time to take photos. The lighthouse is very well preserved and is steeped in history which the guide Belinda brought to life. Make sure you dress warmly and you do need to climb 75 stairs
Amazing tour

5.00Our beautiful day trip to Bruny Island started with the rain. It was 11 of us and we were all a bit sad that we couldn’t enjoy the island with a good weather, but … we soon realized that we were luckier than we thought. First of all, our guide Jimmy was absolutely incredible. Fun, interesting, knowledgeable. We spent the morning laughing and exploring the island looking for white wallabies and, because of the weather, we saw a lot! So beautiful. Even a couple with their joeys ❤️. After a beautiful lunch the sun came out and Bruny Island’s colors took our breaths away. I would recommend this experience 100%
