We have been on many day trips and we agreed there has never been a better one than this. Leader/driver Trevor is special. His knowledge of flora, fauna, geography and geology is astounding, and his way of sharing that with the travellers is unlike any other. The trip had adventure, laughter, surprises, information and friendship. What an eye-opener and great day!! We would do it again tomorrow if we didn’t have to move on. Thanks Trevor. We will never forget your contribution to our Tassie trip. Lloydie and Janie

Trevor was an amazing guide, gave us a rich history of Tasmania’s land and people while we’re feasting our eyes with the view! The hike to Bruny Island Arch was a bit surprising for a beginner but we were kept safe and rewarded with views like no other.

Frequently asked questions

How difficult is the walk to the Bruny Island Arch?

It’s a rewarding moderate hike, with around 45–60 minutes of walking each way plus time to enjoy Mars Bluff, Miles Beach and the Arch. The route begins on a broad sandy track and includes a short, steep climb on soft sand, followed later in the day by 279 steps at The Neck. Reasonable fitness, good mobility and closed walking shoes are essential.

How is the day split between hiking and the local food stops?

The morning is the active part of the tour, with the coastal hike followed by The Neck lookout and a few scenic stops. After a relaxed lunch break at Adventure Bay, the afternoon shifts to Bruny Island’s chocolate, honey, cheese and oyster producers. It’s a good fit if you want one substantial walk paired with an easy-paced tasting trail, rather than a full day of hiking.

Are lunch and food tastings included?

Lunch, snacks and drinks aren’t included, so you can bring your own food or buy lunch during the Adventure Bay stop. The itinerary visits local producers, and some locations may offer samples, but anything you order or take home is at your own expense. Bring a large water bottle and a few snacks for the active morning.

Where does the tour depart, and how do hotel pickups work?

The general meeting point is the Tasmanian Travel & Information Centre at 20 Davey Street, with pickup at 6:55am for the 7:00am departure. Pickup and drop-off are also available from selected Hobart hotels when arranged in advance. Be ready five minutes before the pickup time shown in your booking confirmation; the tour returns to Hobart at around 5:00pm.

Is this tour suitable for families with children?

Yes, it can be a fantastic day for active families with children aged 8 and over. Everyone needs to manage the moderate morning hike, sandy sections and the 279 steps at The Neck, so it best suits children who already enjoy longer outdoor walks. Children under 8 can’t join this tour.
