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.

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.

A great Tasmanian must do - It was a very well organised and fun day. Very comfortable bus, knowledgeable and friendly tour guide, oysters for morning tea with local cheeses. This is the only company who offer a full tour in the lighthouse.

Just do it - What an awesome day out. Dave our guide was certainly a hands on guy with knowledge of the area, history and go to places. We wanted for nothing. All provided and being small groups (max 20), nobody felt left out. The island is a must to do and I wouldn't bother driving myself as would not get to enjoy half of it. The tour up the Bruny Lighthouse with lighthouse guide, Shane, was something not to miss. Of you are thinking about going....just do it.

10/10 Experience - So glad we did the tour instead of driving ourselves around the island. Our guide Rick was very knowledgeable, and provided experiences and food that we would maybe not have got if we put our own itinerary together. The Bruny Island Lighthouse was a standout...in awe of the amazing scenery!

Fabulous food and scenery - A wonderful trip with a very knowledgeable guide Dave. Weather was not friendly very cold and gale force winds at time but the scenery was beautiful and rugged. The stops to enjoy Bruny Islands fabulous produce were as delightful as we remembered from a similar trip seven years before. We had been looking forward to repeating the visit for some months and were not disappointed. Thoroughly recommend as a must to do during any visit to Hobart.

Bruny brilliance! - Grant was a brilliant, knowledgeable and fun guide. His knowledge on the island and the history of Hobart was second to none, and it made for an excellent tour. The stops at the Oyster, honey, chocolate and cheese shops were long enough to try each delight/purchase more and move on without being rushed. The included meal was fantastic and Bruny was magnificent. A well structured tour with a brilliant guide and one I would highly recommend if travelling to Tasmania. A☆

A great taste of Bruny Island! - Despite being Tasmanian born, now living interstate, I’d never been to Bruny Island! Bruny Island Safaris were a great way to see and experience all Bruny had to offer. Highlights included a morning tea picnic of fresh bread, local Award Winning cheeses and fresh oysters! Divine! A lovely lunch at Hotel Bruny with fresh locally sourced food and drinks - cherry/apple cider and hot mulled cider! Then honey and chocolate tastings for dessert. Wonderful scenery too, especially the views from the top of the Cape Bruny lighthouse and the Truganini Staircase. Our guide was entertaining and informative! A highly recommended tour!
