One of the best day tours our family has ever had the pleasure of experiencing! Jimmy was an amazing host and tour guide throughout our adventure on beautiful Bruny Island. He made the day fun, engaging, and interactive while sharing his extensive knowledge about the island and its history. We were also fortunate to have perfect weather, which allowed us to enjoy every stop on the itinerary. The entire experience was well organized, memorable, and highly recommended. Thank you, Jimmy, for making our Bruny Island tour such a fantastic day!

I toured Bruny island with my Partner, The tour was incredible! From start to finish the day was filled with fun, excitement, rich history, food and views you could only get on Bruny! Our tour guide was friendly, humorous but also well organised and kept things running smooth at all times. Bruny island is magical, the wildlife is abundant and my favourite thing was seeing the illusive albino wallaby! He was spotted nice and early and our tour guide made sure everyone could see the Albino wallaby and took his time to turn back and drive slow ensuring we all got a view of the illusive beauty! Second favourite thing was a perfect itinerary!!! I believe we saw everything noteworthy, beautiful, historic or culturally relevant on the island. We really got to see all the island's highlights and not stress about where to go first, what time to wrap things up ect. Can't fault it!

Nigel was an absolutely fantastic host on our Bruny Island tour. His deep local knowledge, perfectly timed stops, and engaging stories made the day unforgettable. He seamlessly guided us through the best local produce—from fresh oysters to delicious cheeses—and even managed to spot some of the island's famous white wallabies.

Make the most of your Bruny Island adventure with a Headout-exclusive deal: 10% off when you book this one-of-a-kind lighthouse tour.

Weathered walls and wallabies

Here's a full day of fun: Hit the road early and grab a pick-me-up at Gateway Cafe before you cross the D’Entrecasteaux Channel by ferry. Every bend is a photo-opp and expert guides ensure you don’t miss those frameable moments. Upon arrival on Bruny Island, soak in the beauty of Mount Mangana where elusive white wallabies may be seen between ferns and in the paddocks. Stop at many click-worthy spots– the Neck Wildlife Zone, Truganini Lookout, Two Tree Point, and Cape Bruny Lighthouse Station.

Psst.. the past is calling. The weathered walls of Tasmanian lighthouses shield tales of a bygone era – shipwrecks, brave lighthouse keepers who guided lost souls home, and the drama of countless storms. Ascend the spiral iron staircase to enjoy spectacular coastal views from the Cape Bruny Lighthouse.

Your tastebuds’ ticket to Tasmania

Savour delicious cheese, fresh oysters, and freshly baked bread. During lunch, feast on ocean-to-plate delicacies, succulent local lamb, and spectacular views over the waterways. Seal the deal with fudge and chocolate samples, and honey tastings all before heading home with a full heart, tummy, and phone gallery.
