We had an excellent day on Bruny Island. Our driver Andy went above and beyond to maintain an interesting and varied conversation about the points of local interest. The group appreciated his willingness to work through his illness on the day without compromising passengers who were all too willing to manage the good handling etc. The morning tea, bread fridges, tastings of honey and chocolate were all well received and the hotel lunch was exquisite. We could not fault the experience and will recommend it to our various friends who plan to visit Tasmania in the near future.

Rick, our driver and guide was awesome and very informative. The meal, cheese tasting, oysters and chocolate tasting were all very enjoyable. Wayne (I think that was his name?), the guide to the lighthouse was also amazing! We had a group of seven and everyone thourally enjoyed it.

We got phone assistance to find the closest pick up location. The whole day was well organised from start to finish with interesting stops for that Instagram shot. The morning tea of fresh oysters and artisan cheeses was delicious that led into a great lunch at the Bruny island hotel.

Our guide ,Rick, was very informative. Our morning tea of oysters and local cheeses was very tasty and lunch was delicious. We had plenty of time to enjoy the sights and the sightings of the white kangaroo and pademelons was an unexpected surprise.
