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.

5.00Highly recommend this excellent tour. Our guide and driver Dave was brilliant, friendly, funny and clearly passionate about his job. He also knows a dad joke or two. We also met Jimmy during the day and he was lovely too. As a solo traveller, going on tours can be a bit nerve wracking, so I was grateful that Dave took the time to include me and make me feel welcome. He even took photos for me as I was on my own. He was so knowledgeable about the island, and took great care when preparing our oysters and cheese for breakfast, maintaining good hygiene and being careful when managing allergies of those in our group. This tour includes a lighthouse tour that other Bruny Island tours don’t and it was well worth the extra stop for great views and wallaby sightings, which I was very excited by as an international visitor!
Fantastic Day Out

5.00Jimmy was incredible. Really knowledgeable and a very good guide. He was extremely patient and took care to keep to schedule without rushing us too much. It was bucketing with rain when we went and he changed the itinerary to accommodate the weather and his group’s enjoyment.

3.00Unfortunately our guide Nigel was abrupt and quite rough. The speaker system in the bus did not function properly so we heard limited commentary. The visit to the lighthouse was excellent but the rest of the day was only average. It certainly was not a gourmet food tour - morning tea of cheese and oysters was strange and lunch was basic pub food. Other special treats as in honey and chocolate had to be paid for. All in all it was an expensive tour with a bored guide. Thank goodness for the beautiful weather and brilliant Tasmanian scenery.

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
