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!

My husband and I had a wonderful day on Bruny Island with oour guide and driver Jimmy. We appreciated his friendly, easy-going nature and his knowledgeable unrehearsed commentary , everything from the geography and history of the island to information about the white wallabies and the lighthouse. All the tasting stops were great, but we expecially enjoyed the morning tea on the beach. The oysters were terrific. Lunch was included as well. With our orders placed before we arrived, we were served soon after we sat down. We felt really well-taken care of throughout the day. If you want to see Bruny Island, we highly recommend this tour company.

Had a cracking day out on Bruny yesterday. Huge shout-out to our driver, Jimmy—the man’s a legend. He really knows his stuff, from the local history to all the birdlife kicking around the island. You can tell he’s passionate about the place, and it made the whole trip. No boring rehearsed lines, just top-tier knowledge and a great attitude. If you’re looking for a great tour, this is the one. Ask for Jimmy and you’ll be sorted. Cheers for a cracking day!

Nigel was an amazing tour guide. He broke the ice with the group from the beginning and before long we were all chatting and laughing together. Great day. Would reccomend this tour to everyone. Love that it was all inclusive. Didn't have to think about anything. Well fed and FULL by the end of the day!

A very good experience. We love the lighthouse especially we are allowing to go to the top floor for site seeing! The lookout place is great! The oyster & cheese tasting is good; lots of different choices for the lunch. Not too many teammates in the group. It is worthwhile for this trip.

The best part was the awesome guide who is a local and shared many interesting things with us. Spotting a white wallaby was pretty awesome, as was the Lighthouse and of course the beautiful scenery.

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.
