Great day, wonderfully organised. Our skilled tour guide kept us cheerful with jokes and lots of interesting information (thanks, David). Given that one of the focus points of the trip was the remarkable produce of Bruny Island, we were well supplied with lots of highlights and the clever edition of several giveaways as the day went on. I would highly recommend the trip to anyone who is interested in Bruny Island and in great seafood, cheese, honey, and beer!

Our Bruny Island experience was made exceptional by our guide Dave. From the start, he was warm, energetic and professional. He adjusted the itinerary around the weather, shared his extensive knowledge, and kept the group engaged throughout the day. He went beyond the planned itinerary by taking us to additional viewpoints and even helping us search for the white wallaby. His enthusiasm, care for guests and attention to safety made the day memorable despite the drizzle. A big thank you to Dave for making Bruny Island such a special experience.

We really enjoyed the day. It was interesting to see Bruny island after about 30 years. The cafe at Adventure Bay great. For me the highlight was the garden at the chocolate shop & we did enjoy the walk in the forest. Keiran was a good driver & guide with the right amount of information. Thanks Keiran.
