Bruny Island: Our most recommended tours and activities

  1. Bruny Island Wilderness Cruise

  Choose to begin your tour on Bruny Island or from Hobart. Cruise by some of Australia's highest sea cliffs and drift up close to listen to the awesome Breathing Rock.

  Enter deep-sea caves, pass through the narrow gap between the coast and The Monument, and feel the power of nature where the Tasman Sea meets the might of the Southern Ocean.

  On this 3-hour activity, you’ll search for wildlife such as seals, dolphins, migrating whales, and sea birds with an interpretive guide. At the Friars, drift quietly past rare nesting seabirds and a large haul-out home to thousands of seals.

  The custom-built yellow boats feature open-air tiered seating providing excellent all-round views. After the cruise, enjoy time to explore Bruny Island.

  The team on board our cruiser were informative, funny and helpful. The scenery down the coast was breathtaking, highly recommended

  3. Hobart: Bruny Island Gourmet Sightseeing Day Tour

  Explore Bruny Island’s spectacular landscapes, gourmet produce, and inspiring locals on a small group tour of around 20 passengers, plus your knowledgeable local guide. Tours depart daily from Hobart and local accommodation. Relax and enjoy this fully inclusive experience showcasing the best of Bruny Island. Try cheeses, oysters, fudge, premium wines, honey and mead. Meet some of the island’s artisan producers, people who put their energy and spirit into handcrafting these renowned products. Stop for a delicious lunch at Pennicott’s beachside restaurant with sweeping views of Adventure Bay.  Throughout the day you'll see incredible scenery. At The Neck, see the narrow isthmus stretch away south in graceful curves. Take a stroll and leave your footprints in the sand of a deserted beach. The light bush of the northern island gives way to the dense rainforest of the south's Mavista Rain...

  Don’t have breakfast and chances are you won’t need dinner either. So much beautiful food to taste. Our guide was fantastic and made sure we didn’t miss anything.

  5. Bruny Island Day Trip from Hobart

  Get back to nature on a full-day trip to Bruny Island, tailored to the day's weather conditions to create the most enjoyable experience.  Catch the ferry from Hobart to go on a nature walk in the temperate rainforest, or enjoy a swim in a hidden lagoon or the ocean, weather permitting. Encounter unique wildlife, such as the rare albino wallaby as your guide shows you some of the hiding spots of this elusive creature. Soak up the panoramic views from the Neck and Cape Bruny Lighthouse, and marvel at the picturesque beaches along the way. Stop to sample local produce, including award-winning cheeses, wines, beers, ciders, berries, chocolates, and oysters at your own cost. There will be a lunch stop where you can enjoy locally cooked and farmed produce from the land and the sea at you own expense, or bring your own picnic if you prefer.

  Got to see so much of the island in one day! Our tour guide Ben was amazing...such a fun, easy going guide who was flexible with the itinerary depending on what people wanted to see. Highly recommend!

  6. Bruny Island Highlights Day Trip from Hobart

  Located at the mouth of the River Derwent, Bruny Island is one of Tasmania’s best natural highlights. Bruny Island is home to some splendid wildlife (including the white Bennetts wallabies), amazing scenery, rich indigenous history and delicious produce. After a short ferry ride across the D’entrecasteaux Channel, you'll head to Cape Bruny and the Bruny Island Lighthouse, stopping along the way for some spectacular views at the Neck lookout.  Next, you will enjoy great coastal walks and stunning beaches, including Adventure Bay for a quick swim (conditions permitting), before looking for the local white Bennetts wallabies. The highlights continue throughout the afternoon as you sample some of the best produce the island has to offer, including cheese and oysters.

  I was impressed with 2 of the tours (Port Arthur & Bruny Island) and both tour guides had a wealth of knowledge, their expertise of how much information they provided on both days. Definitely be returning back again.
