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.

#Blown away, I'm from Tasmania (NW) and this tour was worth every penny! Tour guides were very knowledgeable and helpful to assist guests. The sight seeing is incredible with multiple locations/stops. Our group was fortunate to see dolphins aswell as fur seals. I can't explain how magical it was to see dolphins racing to the boat, and then riding beside us. They were that close you could just reach out. I believe every Tasmanian should do this tour and see what natural treasures we have in our own backyard. I will highly recommend this tour to friends and family. I would even do it again!

Brilliant. Staff from booking to disembarking cannot be faulted. Safety and comfort a priority. Not are they knowledgeable and skilled at what they do, they have a way of making it accessible to all and a great sense of humour in educating us about what we are seeing and its significance to Bruny. This is a must do when visiting Bruny island.

Choose the right Bruny Island trip

  • Bus tours vs. boat tours:  Bus tours are best for relaxed explorers who want to enjoy curated stops at top attractions like the lighthouse, chocolate company, and lookout points. These are suitable for families or anyone who prefers a slower pace. And wilderness cruise is ideal for adventure seekers to get up close to sea stacks, spot wildlife, and enjoy the fresh sea air. 
  • Self-drive vs. return transfers: Self-drive tours are great for independent travelers who want flexibility. You can drive from Hobart to Bruny Island via the Hobart Bruny Island ferry, and explore the island at your own pace. When it comes to return transfers,skip the planning stress and let expert guides handle everything—from hotel pick-ups to beach visits.
  • Full-day tours vs. food tasting tours: Full-day tours will give you the best value, often including all major beach stops, and wildlife spotting. Priced at AU$159, they are perfect for first-time visitors or those wanting a complete experience. An inclusive tour focuses on specific activities like tastings or nature walks, along with ferry and return transfers. Prices start at AU$165.
  • Why choose a Wilderness Cruise: A Bruny Island wilderness cruise is operated by experienced local crews. These 3-hour cruises take you to remote corners of the island's coastline where few can reach by foot. Priced at AU$180, inclusions typically cover wildlife sightings (seals, dolphins, seabirds), entry into deep sea caves and blowholes, and onboard commentary.
