What to expect

Discover the best of Bruny Island on this full-day tour that combines walking, wildlife, and food. Begin with an active morning exploring easy to moderate trails through temperate rainforest, lagoons, and sweeping beaches. Enjoy panoramic views from The Neck lookout, and if you’re lucky, spot the island’s famous albino wallaby in its natural habitat. Optional swimming may also be possible in warmer weather.

After a morning of adventure, slow down and enjoy a relaxing afternoon. Stop for lunch at the Bruny Hotel (own cost), then sample some of the island’s award-winning local produce. Tastings may include fresh oysters from Great Bay, creamy honey, rich chocolate fudge, or locally brewed cider and beer. Each day’s itinerary is tailored to weather conditions, ensuring a flexible and enjoyable experience that highlights Bruny Island’s unique natural beauty and flavours.

Some of the things you can expect to see and do:

(some will be weather and time permitting)

  • Temperate rainforest walk
  • Walking tracks (easy to moderate level)
  • Swimming (weather permitting)
  • Wildlife spotting (we know some of the hiding spots of the elusive albino wallaby which may allow for a spotting!)
  • Viewing platform at the Neck
  • Cape Bruny Lighthouse 
  • Secret water holes and lagoons
  • Picturesque beaches
  • Sample award-winning food at your own cost, like honey, chocolate and oysters.
  • Lunch stop (own cost)

Please note: It is impossible to go to every attraction in a day. So we like to mix up the days to best suit the group on board for the day and to suit the weather conditions to ensure you guys get the best day possible without it feeling rushed.

It truly was a magical day. Every spot we visited on the island was surprising. The food at the pub was amazing, and the atmosphere was very welcoming. Andrew, our guide, was fantastic. He made lots of jokes while explaining things about the island and gave us time to enjoy each stop.

The Guide was absolutely fantastic! Very informative and very funny! The trip was planned beautifully and the duration was just about perfect! I really wanted to tip the guide but didn’t have cash on me. I wish this app had some feature to do that cz I feel bad I couldn’t tip him.

Frequently asked questions

How much walking is involved, and is the tour wheelchair accessible?

Expect an active but varied morning, with easy-to-moderate walks chosen to suit the day. The rainforest walk is usually a relaxed 20 minutes, while other trails may need moderate fitness and The Neck lookout has 279 steps. The tour isn’t wheelchair accessible, so it’s best for travellers comfortable getting on and off the minibus and walking on uneven ground.

Is lunch included, and can I bring my own food?

Lunch, tastings and drinks are not included, so you can choose what suits your appetite and budget. The group usually stops at the Bruny Island Hotel or the nearby general store, and you’re welcome to bring your own lunch. There may also be time to buy local oysters, honey, chocolate and other island produce during the day.

Can dietary requirements be accommodated?

Yes. The lunch stop offers choices for different budgets and dietary requirements. After booking, please contact us with any dietary requirements.

How do hotel pickups work in Hobart?

Pickup and drop-off are included from selected locations around Hobart, with the touring day generally running from about 7:30am to 5:30pm. If your accommodation isn’t on the list but you’re staying in the city, the meeting point is usually within a 100–300 metre walk. Private homes and Airbnb addresses aren’t collected directly, so you’ll be given the nearest suitable pickup point after booking.

Will we visit every attraction listed on the tour page?

You’ll enjoy a full mix of Bruny Island scenery, wildlife, short walks and local produce stops, but the exact route changes with the weather, timing and the group. Bruny Island has more highlights than can fit into one day, so the guide selects the best combination without rushing the experience. A stop near Cape Bruny Lighthouse may be included, but a guided lighthouse tower tour isn’t part of this experience.

Is there a good chance of seeing a white wallaby?

Yes—your guide knows areas where Bruny Island’s rare white wallabies are often spotted, so there’s a genuine chance to see one in the wild. They’re free-roaming animals, so sightings can’t be promised, but keeping your camera ready during the walks and wildlife stops is worthwhile.

Is this tour suitable for families with children?

Yes, many families enjoy the mix of ferry travel, wildlife, beaches and short stops, and children can join when accompanied by an adult. It’s a full 10-hour day with walking and regular minibus stops, so it best suits children who are comfortable with a long sightseeing day. Infants need to sit on an adult’s lap during transport.
