Highlights
  • SeaLink Bruny Island Ferry - Your journey begins as we pick you up from one of our many locations in Hobart for a scenic drive to the charming coastal town of Kettering. After a brief 30-minute drive, you’ll board the Bruny Island ferry. Glide across the D’Entrecasteaux Channel and arrive on Bruny Island in under fifteen minutes. Enjoy the bay crossing and take in stunning views of the island from the ferry, which is equipped with modern amenities for your comfort—including a lounge where you can relax and enjoy prime vistas. The ferry crossing takes just 10 minutes.
  • The Neck - Explore the views at the Neck Wildlife Reserve and Truganini Lookout, now featuring newly opened and beautifully constructed walkways, viewing platforms, and staircases designed to accommodate visitors of all fitness levels. This picturesque destination offers an opportunity to capture breathtaking snapshots of the isthmus and its surrounding beaches. It’s an ideal spot for that perfect selfie you’ve been looking for!
  • South Bruny National Park - The coastal vistas at Cape Bruny are among the most breathtaking, featuring imposing dolerite cliffs that stand stark against the backdrop of the Tasman Sea.

Please note that passes to the National Park are included in your ticket. However, as Tasmania is made up of 40% National Park, we suggest securing a pass via the Tasmanian Parks and Wildlife website if you plan to explore any more of Tasmania’s 19 National Parks during your visit. Often visitors venture into a park without realizing.
Please advise us if you already have a pass.

  • Cape Bruny Lighthouse Tours - Visit the historic Cape Bruny Lighthouse for a private group tour that promises an unparalleled experience. Standing as Australia’s southernmost sentinel, the lighthouse offers breathtaking views and serves as the final lookout for observing the majestic migration of humpback and southern right whales (Seasonal). It also acts as a crucial beacon for maritime navigation. During your visit, immerse yourself in tales of maritime tragedy, including harrowing shipwrecks and lives claimed by the sea. Your admission to this exclusive Cape Bruny Lighthouse Tour is conveniently included in your ticket price. Please note that our tour provides unique access not available with any other tour operator—ensuring an intimate and undisturbed encounter with one of Australia’s iconic coastal guardians.
  • Get Shucked Oyster Bar - Discover the finest oysters Bruny Island has to offer, right here. Picture yourself beachside savoring these succulent treasures alongside artisanal local cheeses. Should you wish to enjoy some later, we’d be delighted to swing by again and pick up more for you to take home.
  • Bruny Island Honey - Join us as we explore the Bruny Island Honey Farm. Delight your taste buds with an exquisite selection of Tasmanian honeys, observe the industrious bees through a special viewing window, and maybe purchase some honey to enjoy at home.
  • Bruny Island Chocolate Company - Enjoy our tailored chocolate and fudge tasting experience. We will collect a few different types of fudge and chocolate and prepare them for you to try. Feel free to buy some to take home.
  • Bruny Island Cheese Company - In the morning, we will visit the Cheese Company to select and purchase an assortment of cheeses for your enjoyment during morning tea. We will then find a picturesque spot on the shores of Adventure Bay to present you with a lavish spread that includes not only the fine cheeses but also succulent oysters and freshly baked bread. Later in the day, if time allows, we will return to the Cheese Company so you can choose some delectable cheese varieties to take home with you.
  • Hotel Bruny - Savor a delightful lunch at Hotel Bruny, included in your experience. Our carefully curated menu is tailored to please all palates, featuring an extensive array of local delicacies. Indulge in fresh seafood, succulent local lamb, tender salmon, and savory chicken dishes. We also offer an assortment of vegetarian and gluten-free options to cater to your dietary needs.
  • Adventure Bay - Relish a charming, rustic-style picnic along the immaculate white sands of Adventure Bay and Two Tree Point. Delight in a leisurely wade through the refreshing waters of the Tasman Sea, or savor the panoramic ocean vistas while tasting the crisp salt air. Immerse yourself in tales of historical whaling adventures, early explorers’ journeys, and rich Aboriginal heritage.
  • Bruny Island - Discover the charm of the BRUNY BAKER BREAD FRIDGE, a rustic roadside attraction that has gained international acclaim through social media. Treat yourself to a delightful selection of freshly baked loaves and scrumptious biscuits. With restocking occurring every four hours throughout the day, you’re guaranteed to enjoy the freshest bakery delights. Our guides frequently include this quaint spot in their itineraries, inviting you to experience its local allure.
  • South Bruny - Explore the temperate rainforests of Mount Mangana, where your senses will come alive. Inhale the rich scents of native flora, like the fragrant Tasmanian Pepper Berry Bush, and possibly even savor a hint of their unique flavors.

This is without doubt the best Bruny Island day tour bar none. - This an amazing day tour. Rick, our guide, lives on Bruny Island and had some excellent insights into the island. The variety of things that were covered on the tour was excellent. We got a great taste of different foods and visited some great local businesses and everyone we spent time with was very friendly and keen to show off their products. Lunch was excellent at Hotel Bruny and the different natural wonders we visited during the day were beautiful and Rick gave wonderful commentary so that we got an excellent sense of the history of Bruny Island.

Great day out - Great all day tour to Bruny. Very well timed with just enough time at each location. Got lucky with the weather and enjoyed delicious morning tea by a sunny beach (I'm an oyster convert now, turns out you need to eat them fresh!). Views from top of lighthouse were spectacular, only tour that gets to go up. Grant driving was very informative and friendly. Our son was provided a booster seat, super convenient. Highly recommend this tour.

An amazing experience - We had a great time on this trip even though it didn't go to plan! Couldn't see the lighthouse as a tree had come down over road and took out powerlines. This then impacted on the lunch options. Andy our driver was amazing, positive and quickly organised alternative plans. He was updating us regularly and was a true professional! Mother nature was working against us!
