Nigel, our tour guide and driver, was very knowledgeable and really made our whole day enjoyable. Morning tea beside the beach, was a highlight, with fresh Bruny Island oysters, cheese amd locally baked bread on the menu. Lunch at Bruny Hotel was excellent. The menu is extensive with lots of choices. Local beers are available on tap, and the island gin is a must try! We saw wallabies and echidnas and visited local nature spots and lookouts. The lighthouse tour was so educational and Belinda was really knowkedgeable. The views from the lighthouse across to the mainland and of the Southern Ocean were amazing. I highly recommend this tour. It is fantastic value for money!

I thoroughly enjoyed this trip especially the stops at scenic vantage points and also the the rainforest walk and the visit to the lagoon. Andrew, being a local, knows the places that are less frequented and in the peak tourist season getting away from the "madding crowds", even if you are a contributing factor, is a bonus. The visits to the honey and chocolate outlets were of interest, but due to the crowds as other buses arrived, there was insufficient time to sample the products. I would suggest, especially with the honey tasting that this be set up at tables in the garden are to allow greater access. The oyster tasting was the icing on the cake for me. I intended to have a dozen but on seeing their size and plumpness realised that a half dozen would be a meal in itself. I thoroughly enjoyed Andrew's informative commentary along the way, all delivered with just the right amount of information and humour. I would thoroughly recommend this tour..
