The island itself, all the peace and quiet, beautiful spots and the cottage industries (oysters, healthy apiculture, cheeses, wine and chocolates among others). Such respect for keeping the nature and all critters as healthy and free as possible. The lighthouse was a highlight, along with its keeper Shane and his sharing of its history. The views are amazing from up there - worth the climb. Phil is also a fabulous guide, so much learning in such a short day trip, thanks to his sharing. Would definitely recommend!

Great nicely balanced day of activities sightseeing. Our guide Grant offered a wealth of knowledge to us and ensured all guests had a rewarding experience. Great lunch at Hotel Bruny and the lighthouse tour were the standouts on the tour. The local produce and tastings were excellent. Would highly recommend the tour to anyone wishing to get a feel for what Bruny Island has to offer.

Frequently asked questions

How much walking is involved, and do I have to climb the lighthouse stairs?

Most stops involve short walks, and there are easier alternatives if you prefer fewer stairs. At The Neck, you can choose the 279-step climb to Truganini Lookout, stop at a lower lookout, or follow the flat boardwalk to the beach. Cape Bruny Lighthouse begins with a 5–10 minute uphill walk, followed by 72 internal steps to the balcony. The climb is optional — you can still enjoy the coastal views from the base and visit the lighthouse museum.

What happens if the weather is wet or windy?

Bruny Island can be wonderfully atmospheric in changing weather, and the tour normally continues in rain or wind with the route adjusted to suit the day. Bring warm layers, a rain jacket and comfortable closed-toe shoes, even in summer. The tour is only cancelled when severe weather or a safety concern makes operating unsuitable.

Is this tour suitable for families with young children?

It can be a rewarding family day for children who are comfortable with an early start and a full day of touring. Beachside morning tea, wildlife spotting, short scenic stops and sweet tastings give younger travellers plenty to enjoy. Children under 5 cannot climb the internal lighthouse stairs, but they can visit the museum and explore around the base with adult supervision.

Can dietary requirements be accommodated?

Yes. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free lunch choices are available at Hotel Bruny, and gluten-free biscuits can be provided at morning tea. Some produce tastings have naturally limited alternatives, so not every item can be replaced. After booking, please contact us with any dietary requirements.

Will I have a chance to see a white wallaby?

Yes, this tour gives you a good opportunity to look for Bruny Island’s famous white wallabies and other native wildlife. Local guides know the areas where they’re often seen and will help scan for them during the day. Because the animals roam freely, each sighting feels like a genuine wild encounter.

Can I take an evening flight after the tour?

Yes, an evening flight can work if it departs after 8pm. The tour usually returns to Hobart between about 5pm and 5.30pm, giving you time to collect luggage and travel to the airport. Avoid booking an earlier flight, as ferry traffic and island conditions can affect the return time.

How many people are usually on the tour?

The air-conditioned tour vehicle carries a maximum of 20 guests, keeping the day friendly and easy to manage while still creating a sociable group atmosphere. The group size also makes it easier to hear the commentary, move between stops and enjoy a more personal day.

An excellent day out. transport arrived on time, good cheerful guide, even at 7 in the morning! Breakfast of fresh oysters on the beach was a memorable part of my Round the World trip. Most enjoyable visit to Bruny Island lighthouse, including a tour inside. a note of caution, the walk from the car park to the lighthouse is steep, and then you have narrow stairs up to the top of the Light, but it is worth it. enjoyable day and good value.

An all round excellent day. Very well organised excursion. A congenial guide- thank you David. Informative commentary made the activities come to life. Morning tea, lunch and afternoon tastings ran like clockwork. Our guide and responsible driver and good humoured companion, Dave, made it a wonderful day out for the two of us. 20 out of 10.
