We were very lucky to be a small group of three. Jimmy was a very informative guide and ensured we were all happy with the pace of the tour. Sometimes on these tours the sales stops are too much but this was a really good balance and the products were all excellent quality. Highlight was going up the lighthouse. Would definitely recommend this tour.
This tour was so much fun and jam-packed with things to see, eat and try. Our host Nigel was had so many stories to share about Tassie and knew someone at every place we walked on it, making the tour very personable. He knew all the right places to find the allusive wildlife, we got to see numerous albino wallabies and even an echidna! The length, activities (especially numerous local foods to try) and size of the tour make it the perfect way to see Bruny. Highly recommend!
Jimmy was a very nice and friendly guide. He has rich knowledge about all the things including the history, vegetation and wildlife of the island. We had a very good 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.
Jimmy the guide was informative, helpful & had a quirky sense of humour that made the tour interesting.
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!
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.
