Your experience

Discover the natural beauty of Bruny Island

Set out on a guided adventure to Bruny Island, renowned for its wild landscapes, pristine coastlines and distinct Tasmanian flavours. Your journey from Hobart begins with comfortable coach transfers before boarding the ferry to the island. Once ashore, prepare to explore the diverse scenery and unique wildlife that characterise this extraordinary destination.

Scenic hiking along the Cape Queen Elizabeth Trail

The day’s highlight is a walk along the beautiful Cape Queen Elizabeth Trail. This moderate coastal path leads you through fragrant heathland, across sandy dunes and through tranquil lagoons. Along the way, discover Mars Bluff Arch, a striking natural rock arch formed by wind and sea over centuries. Take in expansive views of Miles Beach and the sparkling Tasman Sea and enjoy quiet moments on secluded sands. Your guide will point out local flora and fauna, including Bruny’s native birds and with luck, the rare white wallaby.

Wildlife, birdwatching and island insights

As you wind your way along the trail, learn from your expert guide about the island’s unique history, ever-changing ecosystems and the vital role Bruny plays in Tasmania’s environmental diversity. Watch for birds near the lagoon, and discover why this region is prized for its tranquillity and scenic isolation. At lookouts like The Neck, be sure to have your camera ready for sweeping vistas and photo opportunities.

Gourmet tastings and local flavours

No visit to Bruny Island is complete without sampling its acclaimed artisan foods. During your tour, stop at Bruny Island Honey for a tasting of premium local honey, and visit Bruny Island Cheese Co. for a selection of handcrafted cheeses. The itinerary also features stops at a chocolate factory and an oyster farm, offering insight into the island’s thriving culinary scene. Take a leisurely lunch break at Adventure Bay, where you can buy bakery goods or seafood (please note lunch is not included in the tour price).

Small group comforts and seamless logistics

Relax knowing all the details are taken care of: round-trip transport from Hobart, ferry crossings and the company of a knowledgeable English-speaking guide. With a small group limited to 20 participants, you’ll enjoy a more personal and informative experience. Each step, from the ferry ride to the beach walks, is paced so you can savour the sights, scents and tastes that make Bruny Island unforgettable.
