Explore Bruny Island on an intimate guided tour with scenic coastal walks, uncommon trails, and gourmet artisan tastings, with round-trip transfers from Hobart.

Discover Bruny Island’s rugged beauty on a guided hike along the Cape Queen Elizabeth Trail, known for its sweeping views and quiet, uncrowded beaches.

This lesser-known trail leads you to Mars Bluff Arch, a unique rock formation carved by the sea, providing sweeping views over the untouched sands of Miles Beach and the Tasman Sea beyond.

Your guide enriches the experience with insights into the island’s history, wildlife, and unique ecosystem, including birdwatching opportunities at lagoons along the trail.

Enjoy tastings of Bruny Island’s gourmet offerings, including honey and cheese, with a scenic lunch break at Adventure Bay (lunch not included).

Fun fact: Mars Bluff Arch was formed over centuries by the relentless erosion from sea and wind, creating a stunning natural rock window.
